Terms Used In This Instruction Manual
ATEX
Directive 94/9/EC, commonly called the
ATEX („Atmosphères Explosibles“) products
directive.
Flammable Gas(es)
Gases and gas mixtures are assigned to be
fl ammable if they might become ignitable
when in a mixture with air.
External Explosion Protection
The „External explosion protection“ serves to
prevent penetration of explosive gas mixtu-
res into the analyzer enclosure. In addition it
avoids ignition on the surface. For this reason
the analyzer is purged with protective gas and
held at an internal overpressure compared to
the surrounding atmosphere.
Containment System
The part of the analyzer containing the gas
that may constitute an internal source of re-
lease.
Explosive Gas(es)
Flammable gases and gas mixtures of a
concentration within the explosion limits and
present in mixture with air.
Internal Explosion Protection
The „Internal explosion protection“ serves
to prevent ignition of gas being present in
the analyzer’s Containment System (CS;=
sample gas path).
Dependent on the gas composition several
options are available:
None required (if gas is noncombustible),
dilution by purge gas or/and internal overpres-
sure of the analyzer’s enclosure compared
to the CS.
Enclosure Protection IP66 / Type 4X
To enable outdoor installation, enclosures are
classifi ed based on their enclosure protection.
IP stands for "Ingress Protection". The fi rst
numeral indicates protection of internal
equipment against the ingress of solid foreign
objects (6. = dust tight), while the second
numeral indicates protection of internal
equipment against ingress of water (.6 =
protection against heavy seas or a strong
jet of water).
Type 4X specifies protection against ad-
ditional environmental conditions such as,
corrosion, icing, etc., as specifi ed in NEMA
250 („National Electrical Manufacturers As-
sociation“).
Intrinsically Safe Cell
Special measuring cell for measuring explo-
sive gases, certifi ed by an independent test
house.
Explosive gases are not ignited, even in case
of failure inside the cell.
Divison 2
Abbr. Div. 2, is a hazardous area comparable
to Zone 2. Div. 2 mainly is used in North-
American standards and locations.
