Manual motor starter for potentially explosive areas
MS132, MS132K
Safety instructions
• Mounting and installation may only be done by
trained technical personnel, according to the
recognized technical rules, regulations, and
relevant standards!
• Insufficiently tightened locking screws lead to
an inadmissible rise in temperature!
• Always observe the permitted ambient
conditions (see technical data and catalog).
• Devices with visible transport damage must
not be used.
General description
The extended risks when using these devices in potentially explosive areas requires the consistent adherence to the
following notes and standards:
• IEC/EN 60079-0 Explosive atmospheres – Part 0: General requirements
• IEC/EN 60079-1 Explosive atmospheres – Part 1: Equipment protection by flameproof enclosure "d"
• IEC/EN 60079-7 Explosive atmospheres – Part 7: Equipment protection by increased safety "e"
• IEC/EN 60079-14 Explosive atmospheres - Part 14: Electrical installations design, selection and erection
• IEC/EN 60079-17 Explosive atmospheres - Part 17: Electrical installations inspection and maintenance
• IEC/EN 60079-31 Explosive atmospheres – Part 31: Equipment dust ignition protection by enclosure
• IEC/EN 50495 Safety devices required for the safe functioning of equipment with respect to explosion risks
The MS132 Manual motor starter is authorized under device group II, category (2) in the "G" area (areas with potentially
explosive gas, steam, smoke or air mixtures) and additionally for the "D" area (areas with combustible dust).
BVS 14 ATEX E 009
II (2) G
II (2) D IECEx BVS 17.0072
The MS132 Manual motor starter is not suitable for inst
allation and/or operation in potentially explosive areas. When
using the devices in potentially explosive areas, preventive measures must be taken, e. g. within suitable enclosure.
Notes
• For explosion-proof applications, the efficiency of the installed protection devices has to be verified prior to
commissioning!
• The protection function of the device is the thermal overload protection and protection against short-circuits
in the motor. In case of an overload trip, the motor is switched off by opening the main contacts of the Manual
motor starter.
• The safe state is the "tripped state", i.e., turning handle in 0-position or trip position.
