4 Safety
To maintain a high level of safety when using E-PAK 500 DX Hybrid, consider
the following:
• This unit is to be installed, used and maintained according to this
document in such a way that safety is maintained. This document
contains important warning directions which have to be observed. Any
functional faults, especially those affecting the safety of the machine, are
to be rectified immediately.
• We recommend that fire alarms and appropriate extinguishing systems
are to be installed at all locations where collected combustible dust is
stored.
• Standards relating to the connection and use of filters in hazardous
areas are to be taken into consideration, especially national standards

• This unit was specially designed to comply with official regulations
concerning the risk of explosion. If improperly used, incorrectly installed,
or altered, no matter to which extent, the safety and reliability could be
jeopardized.
• For E-PAK 500 DX Hybrid to function properly and fulfil the necessary
safety requirements as stated in the declaration of conformity, the
complete system is to be assessed with regards to applicable safety
standards and directives and comply with all requirements described in
this document.
• The designer of the system as a whole, has to guarantee the correct

4.1 Explosion protection
The CE and ATEX markings on this unit ensure both a high level of safety and
protection against ignition of the collected combustible dust. However, if an
explosion occurs due to misuse, insufficient maintenance or faulty installation,
this unit is equipped with additional protection methods to avoid dangerous
pressure build-up in the filter.
E-PAK 500 DX Hybrid is equipped with either an explosion relief panel, see
Section 4.1.1 Method 1: Explosion relief venting, or an explosion suppression
system, see Section 4.1.2 Method 2: Explosion suppression system.
The suppression system is normally only used if venting is impossible due to
the location of the filter, dangerous material properties or a resulting flame.
