ATEX directive
ECC/94/09 regulations (compulsory since July 1st 2003) regulate the constructive and safety characteristics to be respected in the installation and
use of appliances in every environment in which a potentially explosive atmosphere could be generated.
All the equipments assigned to be used on potentially explosive atmosphere generated by gas or dust, must be in keeping with ATEX regulations.
ECC/99/92 regulations (compulsory since July 1st 2006) compel companies to classify all zones showing potential risks of explosion, dividing all
environment where explosive atmosphere could be generated in CLASSIFIED ZONES.
Note : safe use ATEX
The following notes, are an integration of normal notes of use and maintenance. These safety prescriptions are compulsory and always must be
completely respected, in case of violation of these prescriptions the producer declines every legal responsibility. In the case of ambiguity between
some points of the two handbooks (ATEX and User manual), the present document must have priority.
ATEX record mark
Before buying or operating with vacuum cleaner verify that technical data on the plate label of the appliance are correct for the classified zone in
which vacuum cleaner will operate..With the record mark - II 3D T135°C IP 65 – vacuum cleaner can be used in a classified zone 22. Every use of
the equipment in zones with classification different than the admitted one is forbidden; if this happens TMB srl declines every
responsibility. The equipment is planned to work in classified zone Atex 22, with the potentially explosive dust presence, but the appliance is not
classified for the inner parts of the appliance itself.
Electrical connection
Before operation check if the data on the plate (Voltage, Frequency) of the vac are compatible to those of the current network. Check if the sense
of rotation of the turbine is correct as written at pag. 14 of the user manual. Always check the sense of rotation in a not-classified zone, moreover
the machine should not have dust
Do not change the sense of rotation of turbine in a classified zone.
Before starting operation verify that the earth connection of the system is in compliance with the electrical norms, never start the vacuum cleaner
if unprovided of grounding; in case of violation of such prescriptions TMB srl declines legal responsibility.
Cleaning the filter
For filter cleaning operation, it's important to follow instructions as shown at pag.6 of user manual; this procedure must be done in a
safe and not-classified zone, with the appliance switched off and disconnected from the electrical network.
Emptying the tank
Tank must be emptied each time the cleaning operation is ended; always empty the tank in a safe and not-classified zone.
Changing the filter
The substitution of the filter must be carried only by personnel authorized by TMB srl. Each non authorized substitution and/or
maintenance of filtering system can compromise the safety of appliance, in this case the producer declines every responsibility.
Additional safety regulations
In order to assure and to preserve the safety of vacuum cleaner, it's compulsory to follow the below rules:
• Never open the appliance in a classified zone.
• It is not allowed to change or to substitute any primary or secondary component installed on the equipment, neither to change the
electrical connections.
• Verify periodically the filtering system, if filter seems to be demaged it's compulsory to stop operation and proceed with the
maintenance of the filter.
• All maintenace operations (filter cleaning or tank emptying) must be performed with the appliance switched off, disconnected from
the power network and in non-classified zone.
• If the phases of power network are inverted (vacuum cleaner blows instead of vacuuming) immediately stop the operation, switch off
the appliance and disconnect it from the power network, provide for phases inversion. Never invert the phases of the vacuum cleaner
in a classified zone.
• Do not remove the ground strip, verify periodically the wear and tear on the strip; if rubber strip does not touch earth stop
immediately the use and ask for correct spare and authorization to change it.
• Use only adapt accessories, supplied by the producer and suitable for ATEX applications zone 22; every use of non authorized
accessories will decay TMB srl responsibility.
• The simple dismantling of whichever electrical or mechanical component compromises the safety of the appliance; in case of
dismantling of whichever component the producer declines all responsibilities.
• Schedule maintenance every year by qualified and authorized by TMB srl personnel. Such a prescription is not compulsory, but
warmly suggested. In any case a review total of the equipment must be carried on every two years by a technician authorized by TMB
srl.
• If whichever problem occours, suspend the use of the appliance and ask for a complete technical check by authorized personnel.
