Schedule
 
EQUIPMENT:
Equipment and systems covered by this certificate are as follows:
 
A Type FP Solenoid Operator is rated at up to 240V a.c. or d.c., has a maximum power dissipation of 14W and comprises a stainless steel cylindrical enclosure with a spigot cover fitted with a silicone rubber seal.  The base of the enclosure is fitted with an adaptor bush which incorporates venting holes to allow the unit to be fitted onto a valve assembly rated up to a maximum pneumatic pressure of 10 bar.  For hydraulic valves and valves with pneumatic pressures greater than 10 bar the top of the valve is provided width additional venting holes.  Internally the unit is fitted with a coil holder, coil, and armature onto which is mounted an adjusting rod which forms a cylindrical joint with the adaptor bush and operates the valve when the solenoid is activated.

The cover may be fitted with a pushbutton or a rotary operator whish can be used to operate the valve manually either momentarily or permanently.

The cover is secured using four stainless steel socket head cap screws grade of grade A4-70.

The equipment is marked:

Ex d IIC T6 (Tamb - 60°C to +40°C)
Ex tD A21 IP66 IP67 T85°C (Tamb - 60°C to +40°C), or
Ex d IIC T5 (Tamb - 60°C to +55°C)
Ex tD A21 IP66 IP67 T100°C (Tamb - 60°C to +55°C), or
Ex d IIC T4 (Tamb - 60°C to +90°C)
Ex tD A21 IP66 IP67 T135°C (Tamb - 60°C to +90°C)

An M20 or ½” NPT cable entry hole is provided as specified on the certified drawings for the accommodation of suitable IECEx Equipment (not a Component) certified cable entry device, with or without the interposition of a suitable IECEx Equipment certified (not a Component) flameproof thread adapter.

An M20 cable entry is provided unless the marking ‘K85’ appears in the Model No. marked on the label, in which case a ½” NPT cable entry hole is provided.
