CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT
This pump can be operated in potentially explosive atmospheres
(ATEX). Directive 2014/34/EU of the European parliament establishes
essential health and safety requirements for the use of devices and
protective systems in these atmospheres and allows the technical
expression of the requirements contained therein to fall within the
harmonized European norms. Samoa Industrial S.A has followed a
procedure whereby it demonstrates the conformity of the product
that accompanies this manual with these requirements. This process
has consisted of the preparation and subsequent deposit of the
required technical documentation in the notified body mentioned in
ATEX MARKING
In the pump that accompanies this manual you should locate a label
with the following information included (do not use it in ATEX if you
do not incorporate it):
Directive part
2014/34/EU
Ex: indicates that it is possible to use this pump in a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
h: indicates that it refers to the standard 80079-36.
IIB: indicates the group of the equipment, in this case destined to
be used in explosive atmospheres of gas, except mines or when the
typical gas is hydrogen (in the directive, cat. 2G zone 1).
T4: indicates the temperature class for group II. In this case, the
class is T4 (<= 135ºC), which takes into account the maximun
temperature that pump´s surface could reach when oil's one is 70ºC
(maximum allowable value stated by this manual) and several hours
of dry running overheating occurs.
Gb: indicates the EPL of the pump.
ZONES OF USE OF ATEX PUMPS
Zones defined by group II (gas): suitable for zone 1.
•
Zone 1: areas in which explosive atmospheres caused by
mixtures of air and gases, vapours or mists are likely to occur in
normal operation.

Standard part
UNE-EN ISO 80079-36:2017
the declaration of conformity together with an internal control of
the production.
The devices intended for use in this type of atmosphere must have
a specific marking that is an essential tool for the end user for the
correct location and use of the pump. Next, the content of the
marking incorporated by these pumps suitable for ATEX will be
explained. Remember that you should never use a pump that is not
marked with this label in potentially explosive atmospheres.
In addition, the marking includes the reference number of the
technical documentation that has been deposited with the notified
body (see declaration of conformity), followed by the letter "X".
X: indicates that there are special conditions of safe use that are
transmitted through this instruction manual to the end user, which
in this case are:
•
Ambient temperature for which the pump is intended:
-20ºC≤Tamb≤50ºC
•
Maximum surface temperature of the pump is dependent on
the temperature of the oil to be pumped, which should never
exceed 70ºC, or the ambient one (whichever is greater).
•
A grounding cable with a clamp is included, which must be
placed firmly and stably and protected on a conductive
element of the installation, foreign to the pump and connected
to the ground.
