injury to personnel or damage to the pump.
6.1 Potentially explosive environments
Use explosion-proof pumps for applications in
potentially explosive environments.
Warning
The pumps must under no circumstance
pump combustible or flammable liquids.
Warning
The explosion protection classification of
the pumps is CE Ex II 2 G, Ex d IIB T4 X.
The classification of the installation site
must be approved by the local fire-fighting
authorities in each individual case.
Special conditions for safe use of SL1 and
SLV explosion-proof pumps:
1. Bolts used for replacement must be
class A2-70 or better according to EN/
ISO 3506-1.
2. The level of pumped liquid must be
controlled by two stop level switches
connected to the motor control circuit.
The minimum level depends on the
installation type and is specified in
these installation and operating
instructions.
3. Make sure the permanently attached
cable is suitably mechanically
protected and terminated in a suitable
terminal board placed outside the
potentially explosive area.
4. The thermal protection in the stator
windings has a nominal cut-out
temperature of 150 °C guaranteeing
the disconnection of the power supply;
the resetting of the supply is manual.
