Maintenance Service
General
The valid national regulations for the servicing/maintenance of electrical
apparatus for use in potentially explosive atmospheres shall be observed.
Prior to opening the enclosure, it is necessary to ensure that the voltage
supply has been isolated or to take suitable protective measures.
The necessary intervals between servicing depend on the specific application
and shall be stipulated by the operator according to the respective operating
conditions.
During servicing, explosion protection dependent parts shall be tested to
ensure their correct state, such as in the following sections.
Watertight Enclosure
- Visual inspection to look for cracks or damages on the enclosure.
- Visual inspection of the screw inserts for the 12 screws connecting the front frame to the on-wall box. If any of these have moved out of their original positions, the integrity of the enclosure is jeopardized.
- Inspect all seals, gaskets and cable entries for efficiency and intactness.
- If water has entered the Ex unit, contact your supplier immediately and do not apply voltage to the unit until it has been inspected and/or replaced by a specialist.
Wires
- Inspect termination points for loose wires.
- Inspect wire isolation and jackets for cracks and signs of ageing.
Repair / Overhaul / Modifications
- Only original Zenitel parts shall be used for carrying out repairs that concern explosion protection.
In the event of damage to the enclosures, replacement of these components is
mandatory. Contact Zenitel for guidance.
Reconstruction or modifications to the unit is only possible within the scope
of the approvals and shall be certified afterwards.
End of Life and the WEEE directive
- The WEEE Directive does not legislate that Zenitel, as a ‘producer’, shall collect ‘end of life’ WEEE.
This ‘end of life’ WEEE should be recycled appropriately by the owner who
should use proper treatment and recycling measures. It should not be disposed
to landfill.
Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled.
Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces
the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to
landfill.
Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with
the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown.
Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th
August 2005 and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste
so that they can be recycled.
