TX6641/TX6642
INTRINSICALLY SAFE POWER SUPPLIES (Ex i)

INSTALLATION & OPERATING DATA

DESIGNED TO CONVERT AC SUPPLY VOLTAGE INTO A STABILISED AND REGULATED I.S. SOURCE FOR SUPPLYING POWER TO APPROVED SENSORS AND ELECTRONIC CONTROL DEVICES

PRINCIPAL OPERATING FEATURES

The TX6641 Power Supply will convert an ac supply voltage into a stabilised and regulated Intrinsically Safe source for supplying power to approved sensors and electronic control devices.
Input voltage options: 110 V ac or 230 V ac The input supply is protected by two primary fuses.
The output circuit is resistively limited in accordance with certification standards for Intrinsically Safe, ia, equipment.
The TX6641 Power Supply Chassis may be fitted and wired into an existing Exd housing (specific system certification may also be required) or into a standard protective housing that is in a SAFE AREA.
The TX6642 version is the TX6641 Series Power supply mounted in a Trolex Exd housing for use in a Group I hazardous area.

SOLATING RELAYS

Isolating relays may be combined with a TX6641 Power Supply. The operating coils of the relays are Intrinsically Safe and the contacts are clearance compatible for switching non-intrinsically safe apparatus or devices in separate Ex d enclosures (eg. P130 pilot circuits).

A standard power supply chassis is fitted and wired with four independent relays with field connection facilities for coils and contacts.

PRECAUTIONS

Ensure that all covers on Ex d housings and their fixing devices are properly secured in compliance with statutory Ex d regulations before switching on the input supply.
Never remove the cover of an Ex d housing whilst the input supply is connected. Isolate elsewhere before removing the cover in accordance with statutory regulations.
The housing of all power supplies must be securely earthed in compliance with statutory regulations.
Carry out a current consumption audit to ensure that the maximum current loading of the power supply is not exceeded.
Ensure that the installation of the power supply, particularly with regard to the connecting cables, complies with the certification parameters (section 8).
Refe r to Sect ion 8
Ex d housings must be inspected and maintained regularly in accordance with statutory regulations.
Use only the correct Trolex replacement fuses (section 7).
Do not substitute any form of equivalent or linking device.
Refe r to Sect ion 7
The TX6641 Ex i Power Supply must be mounted in an approved Ex d housing when located in a hazardous area.
All cables entering the Ex d housing must be terminated with suitable Ex d certified cable glands.

TO REPLACE A FUSE
Release quarter-turn fasteners and remove label

Remove 4 M2.5 countersunk head screws to allow removal of the top plate assembly.

Place the top plate assembly to one side taking care not to strain the connecting wires to the printed circuit board.

All the fuses are now accessible.

To change a fuse, the fuse cover must be removed to gain access to the fuse holder.

Remove the blown fuse and replace it with a good one.
Note: The transformer securing screw may have to be loosened to enable F4 fuse cover to be removed.
Ensure that the transformer securing screw is re-tightened.

All fuse covers must be replaced.

Replace top head cover assembly and secure with the 4 M2.5 countersunk head screws.
