ATEX AND IECEX CERTIFICATION
ATEX AND IECEX CERTIFICATION DETAILS
The Eagle Quantum Premier Fire and Gas Detection / Releasing System was tested and certified to
hazardous location and combustible gas performance standards. Refer to Figure C-1 for system
classification details.
The ATEX/IECEx certified Eagle Quantum Premier System field devices EQ22..., EQ24... and
EQ25... are in compliance with the following standards, as applicable:
IEC 60079-0: 2011
EN 60079-0: 2012
IEC/EN 60079-1: 2010
EN 60079-29-1: 2007
EN 60079-29-4: 2010
The ATEX/IECEx certified Ex n modules of the EQP system are in compliance with the following
standards, as applicable:
IEC 60079-0: 6th Edition
EN 60079-0: 2012, A11:2013
IEC 60079-15: 4th Edition
EN 60079-15: 2010
EN 60079-29-1: 2007
EN 60079-29-4: 2010
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
1. The equipment shall only be used in an area of not more than pollution degree 2, as defined in
IEC/EN 60664-1.
2. The equipment shall be installed in an enclosure that provides a degree of protection not less
than IP 54 in accordance with IEC/EN 60079-15. The equipment shall only be accessible with
use of a tool. This provision applies only to Ex n devices.
3. Transient protection shall be provided that is set at a level not exceeding 140% of the peak
rated voltage value at the supply terminals to the equipment.
FOR ALL ATEX/IECEX CERTIFIED EX N MODULES IN THE EQP SYSTEM, THE FOLLOW-
ING SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE APPLY:
The ambient temperature range is limited for EQ3XXX:
From –40°C to +70°C if any of the output relays 1-7 (terminals 21-41) is used (energized).
From –40°C to +80°C if all output relays 1-7 (terminals 21-41) remain open-contacted and
de-energized.
For compliance to EN 60079-29-1/-4, the relevant Ex n module must be used with gas detection
apparatus that are certified for compliance to EN60079-29-1/-4 and that provide a suitable linear
4-20 mA output, relay contact output or LON communication output relative to the %LFL of the
available gas in the area of the gas detection apparatus. See the Manual for details on the required
connection parameters.
The EQP Ex n modules shall be used in an area of no more than pollution degree 2 conforming to
IEC/EN 60664-1, and in an enclosure with a tool removable cover that complies with all relevant
requirements of IEC/EN 60079-15, rated at least IP54, and shall be connected to supply circuits
where the rated voltage cannot be exceeded by 140% caused by transient disturbances.
