The following Specific Conditions of Use apply to the ATEX and IECEx certificates listed above:

The following conditions relate to safe installation and/or use of the equipment:

i. All cable entries shall be made using suitably certified Ex e cable glands
ii. The use of conduit is not permitted.

Installing

Safety Precautions

The installation of the product must only be carried out by competent personnel.
Each installation needs to be considered with reference to the local safety regulations and authorities. Refer to the following standards for additional guidance:

• IEC/EN 60079-14
• IEC/EN 60079-25

1. Make sure that all covers on Ex e housings and their fixing devices are properly secured in compliance with statutory regulations before switching on the input supply.
2. Never remove the cover of an Ex e housing whilst the input supply is connected. Isolate elsewhere before removing the cover in accordance with statutory regulations.
3. The housing of all power supplies must be securely earthed in compliance with statutory regulations.
4. Carry out a current consumption audit to ensure that the maximum current loading of the power supply is not exceeded.
5. Ensure that the installation of the power supply, particularly with regard to the connecting cables, complies with the certification parameters (section 2.1).
6. The Ex e housing must be inspected and maintained regularly in accordance with statutory regulations.
7. All cables entering the mains input terminal chamber must be terminated with suitable, certified cable entry devices.
8. Do not drill holes in the Ex e housing or modify it in any way.
9. The battery contains corrosive substances and must be disposed of in the correct way.
10. Please return the complete unit to Trolex or an approved distributor for servicing and replacement.

0.4to2Vdc Battery charge level monitor
4 t0 20 mA Battery charge level monitor
Relay Mains fail output contact

Connections

Group | Areas

Connecting cables must conform to the requirements of the appropriate Approval and Certification standards for Mining applications. Trolex recommends that they conform to BS5308.

Maintenance

The maintenance of the product must only be carried out by competent personnel.
Maintenance shall be considered with reference to the local safety regulations and authorities. Refer to the following standards for additional guidance:

• IEC/EN 60079-17

Make periodic visual inspections to check for physical damage.

The product is marked with the following warning, which is applicable to the power supply enclosure only:

THIS CONTAINER HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY SEALED AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED

Technical Maintenance

Trolex recommends that the batteries are replaced every three years. This must be carried out by a competent person. If the unit is returned to Trolex for this re-work, a test of the internal safety integrity will also be carried out.

Warranty

See Terms and Conditions for the Supply of Goods and/or Services at
www.trolex.com.

Diagnostics

external condition on the input voltage or output side, the crowbars will attempt to automatically reset. If this does not happen remove main power for about 2 minutes.
Condition:| The output has dropped to zero
Diagnosis:| It is probable that the input fuses have ruptured which has resulted in the batteries completely discharging. To check this, remove main power momentarily. If the relay does not change state then it confirms the unit is continuously operating on the battery supply only.

Connectivity

Check the correct function of the mains-fail relay by connecting a suitable test meter across the contacts.

A 12V dc output should be available at the intrinsically safe output terminals with mains power input present, or absent.

Also check that the analogue battery monitoring signal is available at the output terminals.
