Instructions specific to hazardous area installations
Model numbers covered: 3098****('*' indicates options in construction, function and materials.)
The following instructions apply to equipment covered by certificate number Nemko 03ATEX1206X:
1.
The equipment may be used with flammable gases and vapours with apparatus groups IIA, IIB & IIC, and with
temperature classes T1, T2, T3, T4 & T5.
2.
Installation of this equipment shall be carried out by suitably trained personnel, in accordance with the applicable
code of practice.
3.
Inspection and maintenance of this equipment shall be carried out by suitably trained personnel, in accordance with
the applicable code of practice. Only approved spares supplied by the manufacturer or approved agent should be
used.
4.
The apparatus electronics is only certified for use in ambient temperatures in the range of -40°C to +70°C. It should
not be used outside this range. The internal temperature of the enclosure must not exceed +70°C.
5.
If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, it is the responsibility of the user to take
suitable precautions that prevent it from being adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not
compromised.
Aggressive Substances:
Suitable Precautions:
6.
The intrinsic safe outputs must not be connected together

8.
Special conditions for safe use:
(a) The metallic alloy used for the enclosure material may be at the accessible surface of this equipment; in the
event of rare accidents, ignition sources due to impact and friction sparks could occur. This shall be considered
when the 3098 is being installed in locations that specifically require group II, category 1G equipment.
(b) Under certain extreme circumstances, the non-metallic parts incorporated in the enclosure of the 3098 may
generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge. Therefore, when they are used for applications that
specifically require group II, category 1 equipment, the 3098 shall not be installed in a location where the
external conditions are conducive to the build-up of electrostatic charge on such surfaces. Additionally, the 3098
shall only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
(c) Trace heating installed with this equipment must be certified for the zone of use, generating a maximum
temperature < +70°C.

polymeric materials.
- e.g. regular checks as part of routine inspections or establishing from the material's
data sheet that it is resistant to specific chemicals.
