11.2 ATEX / IECEx Intended use
The Control Module QC54..P1.. of the
Bettis Q-Series pneumatic actuator is a Group II
category 1 (ATEX) equipment with protection level Ga
(IECEx) and intended for use in areas in which explosive
atmospheres caused by mixtures of air and gases,
vapours, mists or by air/dusts are likely to occur.
The Bettis Q-Series pneumatic actuators is a Group II
category 2 equipment and intended for use in areas in
which explosive atmospheres caused by mixtures of
air and gases, vapours, mists or by air/dusts are likely
to occur.
Therefore it may be used in hazardous area classified
Zones 1, 2 (Gasses) and/or 21, 22 (Dust).
11.3 Safety instructions
WARNING
• Personal injury or property damage caused
by fire or explosion may occur if the module
is opened in any area which contains a
potentially explosive atmosphere or has been
classified as hazardous.
• The material for the Control Module housing
is an aluminium alloy. When the unit is used
in a potentiality explosive atmosphere,
requiring EPL Ga, the unit must be installed
in such a way, that even in the event of rare
incidents, an ignition source due to impact or
friction between the enclosure and iron/steel
is prevented.
• For applications in explosive atmospheres
caused by air/dust mixtures and where
equipment with EPL Da is required, the
surface temperature has been determined
for a dust layer with a thickness of
5 mm maximum.
• Potential electrostatic charging hazard, clean
only with a damp cloth - danger of
propagating discharge.
• The apparatus shall be installed in such a way
that the risk from electrostatic discharges
and propagating brush discharges caused by
rapid flow of dust is avoided.
• Precaution shall be taken to avoid danger of
ignition due to electrostatic charges on the
marking plate of the enclosure.
• Substitution of electronics cartridge, switch
cartridge, pilot valve cartridge, pneumatic
cartridge, enclosure and seals must be with
parts from Emerson else the suitability for
Division 2 will be impaired.
