Tests and Approvals
Copies of the name plate and the declaration of conformity are provided in the
enclosed supplementary documentation (order no. 90 33 890).
The BVS 10 ATEX E 080 X technical suitability test is based on the adjustment with the
target gas.
Do not stick anything on the name plate on the gas detector.
The technical suitability tests are valid for the X-am 5600 gas detector and the
calibration cradle. The explosion-protection approvals are only valid for the X-am 5600
gas detector; the calibration cradle must not be used in the Ex zone.
Intended operating area and operating conditions
Areas subject to explosion hazards, classified by zones (MQG 01**)
The instrument is intended for the use in explosion-hazard areas of Zone 0, Zone 1 or
Zone 2 or in mines at risk due to fire damp. It is intended for use within a temperature
range of –20 °C to +50 °C, and for areas in which gases of explosion groups IIA, IIB or
IIC and temperature class T3 or T4 (depending on the batteries and rechargeable
battery) may be present. If used in mines, the instrument is only to be used in areas
known to have a low risk of mechanical impact.
Areas subject to explosion hazards, classified by divisions
The instrument is intended for use in explosion-hazard areas according to Class I&II,
Div. 1 or Div. 2 within a temperature range of –20 °C to +50 °C, and for areas where
gases or dusts of groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G and temperature class T3 or T4 may be
present (depending on the rechargeable battery and batteries).
It is intended for use in a temperature range
when using power pack ABT 0100:
of –20 °C to +50 °C or –20 °C to +40 °C depending on the batteries used
when using power pack HBT 0000/HBT 0100:
from –20 °C to +50 °C
and for gases of temperature class T3 or T4 (depending on the batteries and
rechargeable battery).
For applications in accordance with CSA (Canadian Standards Association), the
following should be observed:
Only the performance of the detector part of this instrument for flammable gases has
been tested. The instrument has not been approved for use in mines by the CSA.
WARNING
Only applicable to Class II certification. CSA Std. C22.2 No 152 does not have any
requirement for Class II hazardous locations and therefore this device has not been
performance tested by CSA for Class II. The sensor may become clogged and not
detect gas properly or warn the user of its inability to detect gas.
