Repairs And Modifications; Decommissioning And Recycling - S&P CE ATEX Mode D'emploi

• A visual inspection must be carried out to check for any damage, friction be-
tween moving and xed parts, cracks, break points, deformations, and so on.
• Pay special attention to the clearance between rotating and stationary parts.
The clearance must be at least 0.5% of the contact diameter (diameter of the
rotating part at the section where it may touch the stationary part) but must be
no less than 2 mm on the radial or axial planes, and need not be greater than
13 mm.
• Contact shaft seals are not subject to these precautions and must be manufac-
tured from suitable materials and designed with an assessment of the ignition
risk.
• Fans in the TD and TH ranges are only intended for clean environments where
the cleanliness of the inside of the fan and its ducts has to be monitored re-
gularly.

REPAIRS AND MODIFICATIONS

Repairs must be carried out in accordance with the criteria stipulated in EN
60079-19 guidelines.
For safety reasons, repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer. The
user may not carry out repairs, interventions or modi cations to the equipment
on his own unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer. Otherwise the ma-
nufacturer accepts no liability.
If the repairs are not carried out by the manufacturer, they must be carried out
in a workshop that has the necessary technological means and skills and that is
properly quali ed.
Only original spare parts should be used. The safety of the equipment is gua-
ranteed by its components, which have been speci cally designed to remove or
minimize causes of ignition in an explosive atmosphere.
The spare parts lists for standard (non-ATEX) equipment are not valid for ATEX
equipment and therefore cannot be used.
Any components not supplied by the manufacturer are not authorized to be used
in the equipment by the manufacturer.

DECOMMISSIONING AND RECYCLING

EEC regulations and the commitment we have with future generations compel us to
recycle materials; we ask you don't forget to dispose of all the remaining elements
of the packaging in the proper recycling containers. If your apparatus is also labelled
with this symbol, please do not forget to take the old apparatus to the nearest waste
disposal facility.
