Description of Equipment or Protective System:
The P1 sample gas pumps carry gases from various processes to analyzers. The gas circuit typically has
additional analysis components such as sample gas probe, filter, flow meter, cooler, etc. The sample gas
pump P1 consists of the main components, the pump head and motor. An eccentric converts the rotation
of the motor into an up and down motion using a connecting rod, thus producing the pump mechanism.
Inside the so-called pump body, above the bellows, which facilitates the pump motion, are inlet and outlet
valves. The user connects the gas circuits to the sample gas pump through screw-in connections.
The P1 sample gas pumps are available as 12Vdc, 24Vdc, 115Vac, 60Hz or 230Vac, 50Hz. The 115Vac
and 230Vac sample gas pumps have internal self resetting thermal protection built into the motor.

Specific Conditions of Use:
1. The installer shall provide transient over-voltage protection of the supply connections at a voltage not to
exceed 140% of the voltage rating of the pump.
2. The apparatus shall be mounted in an enclosure providing a minimum degree of protection of IP54 in
accordance with EN 60079-15, and shall be installed within a tool-secured enclosure which meets the
requirements of EN 60079-0 and EN 60079-15.
3. To maintain a T4 to T3 temperature class care shall be taken to ensure the ambient temperature does
not exceed 50°C.
4. Temperature class are defined by the following table:
