E2S BExS120E Manual De Instrucciones

1) Introduction
The BExS120E and BExS110E are second generation
flameproof / increased safety sounders which are certified to
the European Standards EN 50014: 1992, EN 50018: 1994
and EN50019: 1994 and meet the requirements of the ATEX
directive 94/9/EC. The sounders produce loud warning
signals and can be used in hazardous areas where
potentially flammable atmospheres may be present. Thirty-
two different first stage alarm sounds can be selected by
internal switches, and each one can be externally changed to
a second or third stage alarm sound (see tone table on Page
4). The BExS120E unit produces output levels in the
117dB(A) range and the BExS110E unit produces output
levels in the 110dB(A) range. Both sounders can be used in
Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas with gases in groups IIA, IIB and
IIC and temperature Classifications of T1, T2, T3 and T4.

Installation Requirements
The sounders must be installed in accordance with the latest
issues of the relevant parts of the BS EN 60079
specifications or the equivalent IEC specifications –
Selection,
apparatus for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (other
than mining applications or explosive processing and
manufacture):-
BS EN 60079-14 : 1997
BS EN 60079-10 : 1996
The installation of the units must also be in accordance with
any local codes that may apply and should only be carried
out by a competent electrical engineer who has the
necessary training.
5)
Zones, Gas Group, Category and Temperature
Classification
The BExS120E and BExS110E sounders have been certified
