instrument. This Approval, however, does not include or imply Approval of the "SafeSwap" feature, communications
protocol or functions provided by the software of this instrument or of the communications apparatus or software
connected to this instrument.
• Use of some accessories are not covered under the performance approval. Contact General Monitors for details.
Specific Conditions of Use S5000 Transmitter
• Under certain extreme circumstances, the non-metallic parts incorporated in the enclosure of this equipment may
generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge. Therefore, the equipment shall only be cleaned with a damp
cloth.
• This fixed equipment apparatus is exclusively designed for field mounting in the vertical orientation with restrictions
placed around the conduit entry locations permitted for connection of both the Digital Sensor and IR Sensor. The
equipment is subject to the installation and orientation requirements defined in the product manual.
• The flameproof joints shall not be repaired.It is recommended to end users to seek guidance provided in EN 60079-29-2
for installation, use and maintenance of gas detectors for flammable gases and other applicable gases.
• Guidance for functional safety of fixed gas detection systems are set out in EN 60079-29-3 which has not been covered
in the scope of this assessment.
S5000 Junction Box
• Under certain extreme circumstances, the non-metallic parts incorporated in the enclosure of this equipment may
generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge. Therefore, the equipment shall only be cleaned with a damp
cloth.
• The flameproof joints shall not be repaired.
Digital Sensor
• Under certain extreme circumstances, the non-metallic parts incorporated in the enclosure of this equipment may
generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charge. Therefore, the equipment shall only be cleaned with a damp
cloth.
• The flameproof joints shall not be repaired.
• If the sensor is uninstalled, the equipment instruction manual shall be referenced prior to reinstalling.
• The Digital Sensor is provided with a ¾“NPT thread and shall only be connected to a suitably certified enclosure. The
installation to the certified enclosure shall be with five fully engaged threads, tightened wrench-tight.
• The Digital Sensor shall be connected directly to a suitably certified junction box or instrument for the hazardous area of
installation and thereby provide Ex protection for the flying lead connections.
• For combustible gas detection performance applications, the appropriate Digital Sensor model number shall only be
used to construct the S5000 Gas Monitor fixed gas detection system; mounted onto either the S5000 transmitter or
S5000 Junction Box enclosures and receive power and control from the transmitter.
• The Ingress Protection rating is exclusively based upon the installation instruction for orientation specified in the
operating manual.
• The Digital Sensor shall only be installed for external connection to suitably certified equipment (transmitters) providing
transient protection set at a maximum transient overvoltage of 119 V (140% of 85 Vpeak).
• The Digital Sensor shall only be fitted to enclosures having a maximum reference pressure of 34.4 bars or lower.It is
recommended to end users to seek guidance provided in EN 60079-29-2 for installation, use and maintenance of gas
detectors for flammable gases and other applicable gases.
• Guidance for functional safety of fixed gas detection systems are set out in EN 60079-29-3 which has not been covered
in the scope of this assessment.
