8GH5 Activeline B e a c o n TechnicalManualGH5 ACTIVELINE BEACON TECHNICAL MANUAL TMF0075.A www.eaton.comUser informationThis equipment is an explosionproof device designed for use in areas that are usually not expected to be exposed toan explosive atmosphere or that are endangered rarely and for a short time by an explosive atmosphere. Designedas a device of group II, category 3 it can be used in zone 2 and 22. Please note the following warnings and safetyinformation.1. Only a trained and skilled technical specialist may connect and mount the device, while taking into consideration thecategory of protection and following the stipulated installation regulations.2. This device is constructed in insulation class III or II and must only be connected to and operated at the stipulatedvoltage. Please pay attention to the polarity information. For insulation class II, the constructor must install theappliance in such a way as to make sure it still fulfils the requirements of this insulation class after installation.3. It is not permissible to operate the device in a damaged state.4. While operating the device in business or industry facilities, the legally or otherwise required precautions againstaccidents resulting from the use of electrical systems and devices must be taken.5. The device may be operated solely under the stated ambient conditions. Adverse ambient conditions may lead to thedevice being damaged, thus representing a risk to the users life. Such adverse conditions may be:• too high humidity of air (>90% rel., condensing)• dust deposits• combustible gases, vapours, solvents not covered by the protection category of the device• too high ambient temperatures (>50°C), e.g. caused by intensive sunlight6. Repairs may be carried out by the manufacturer or by a person appointed by the manufacturer followed by a renewedproduct conformity inspection.7. The ambient temperature may neither exceed nor fall below the temperature range given fort he device. Inadmissableradiant energy and convection in the vicinity of the device have to be prevented.8. Warning! At the devices there is hazard of ignition by electrostatic discharges. Charging e.g. by friction or duringcleaning has to be avoided. The assembly has to be carried out in a way that a hazardous electrostatic charging e.g.by pneumatic delivery will be avoided.9. Only the cable glands required by the manufacturer may be used.10. Make sure the device and the wiring are dis - connected from the power supply upon connecting or disconnectingthe wires. After de-energizing delay 5 minutes before opening.In case of disregard of the above, the explosion protection of the device is no longer guaranteed. In this case, the devicerepresents a danger to the lives of personnel and may cause the ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
