Metal flange for
metal cable glands
6.3 Cable entries (KLE);
blanking plugs
Generally, only certified cable entries and
blanking plugs are permitted for use.
Flexible cables shall be used with trumpet-
shaped cable glands or other suitable
entries with additional pull-relief.
When using cable entries with a lower
IP protection than that which applies to the
device (see page 6, technical data), the
IP protection of the whole device will be
reduced.
The mounting directives applicable to the
cable entries used shall be observed.
Unused holes shall be closed with a certified
blanking plug in order to establish the
minimum protection category.
In case of sealing inserts that are cut out, it
shall be ensured that the insert is properly
adapted to the cable diameter.
Care has to be taken that when fitting the
cable entries, sealing inserts appropriate to
the cable diameter are used.
In order to ensure the required minimum
protection category, the cable glands are to be
tightened down.
Overtightening might impair the protection.
All vacant metric CEAG cable entries shall be
closed with the certified CEAG blanking plug
for metric cable entries.

Flange and metal plates *

If flange plates have to be removed in case of
installation switches (e.g. for drilling entry holes),

Cooper Crouse-Hinds GmbH
Explosions protected installation switches,
type GHG 273
attention shall be paid to the proper fit of the
flange plate when mounting them in order to
maintain the minimum protection category
(see fig. 3).
Flange plates shall be fitted so that the IP
PE - connection
protection in maintained. Pay attention to the
proper seat of the sealing.
Attention: Metal flanges, metal plates and
metal cable glands shall be included in the
equipotential earth connection.
Attention: When tightening the cap nut of
the metal cable entry (e.g.type E1WF/e ),
the screwing is to be protected against
twisting by means of a suitable tool.
PE conductors fed from outside are to be
connected to the PE terminal provided on the
flange. The maximum cross-section is 6 mm²

Closing the device/

cover closure
The enclosure cover shall be fitted so that the
protective collar is on the upper part.
Any foreign matter shall be removed from
the apparatus.
In order to ensure the required minimum
protection category, the cover screws are to
be tightened down.
Overtightening might impair the protection
category.
6.6

Taking into operation

Prior to taking the apparatus into operation,
the tests specified in the relevant national
regulations will have to be carried out. Apart
from that, the correct functioning and
installation of the apparatus in accordance
with these operating instructions and other
applicable regulations will have to be
checked.
Incorrect installation and use of the
installation switches can invalidate the
guarantee.
7

Maintenance/Servicing

The relevant national regulations which
apply to the maintenance/servicing of
electrical apparatus in explosive
atmospheres, shall be observed
(e. g. IEC 60079-17).
Before opening the enclosure make sure
that the apparatus is disconnected from
the voltage, or take the appropriate
protective measures.
The required maintenance intervals depend on
the respective application and will therefore
have to be determined by the user dependent
on the conditions of use.
When servicing the apparatus, particularly
those parts that are decisive for the type of
protection against explosion, will have to be
checked (e. g. intactness of flameproof
enclosed components, enclosure, cable
glands, efficacy of the cover gaskets).
If during servicing repairs prove to be
necessary, section 8 of these operating
instructions will have to be observed.
8 Repairs / Overhaul /
Modification
Repairs may only be carried out with genuine
CEAG spare parts.
In case of a damaged flameproof enclosure,
only its replacement is permitted. In case of
doubt, the respective apparatus will have to
be returned for repair to CEAG.
Repairs that affect the explosion
protection, may only be carried out by
CEAG or a qualified electrician in
compliance with the applicable national
rules.
Modifications to the apparatus or changes
of its design are not permitted.
Except for the mounting of additional cable
entries in accordance with the approval of the
apparatus.
9 Disposal / Recycling
When the apparatus is disposed of, the
respective national regulations on waste
disposal will have to be observed.
In order to facilitate the recycling of individual
components, plastic parts have been provided
with the identification mark of the plastic
material used.
Subject to modifications or supplement of the
product range.
