Pneumatic Requirements - Pepperl+Fuchs 6000 SERIES Installation And Operation Manual

6000 Series Purge/Pressurization System

Pneumatic requirements

Protective gas supply
The protective gas supply to the enclosure system must
be a clean, instrument quality compressed air or inert
gas filtered to a minimum of 40 microns. It must contain
no more than trace amounts of flammable gas, vapor, or
dust.
The protective gas supply compressor intake must
originate in a nonhazardous location. The suction
duct passing through a hazardous location and the
protective tubing and piping must be fabricated from
noncombustible materials suitable for the prevailing
hazardous and environmental conditions.
The protective gas supply provided must be able to
handle the flow and pressure requirements for purging
and pressurization (see page 66, Establishing connection
sizes, lengths & bends).

Pressurization adjustment
To adjust, use a flat head screw driver inserted into the
needle valve of the manifold as shown. Turn clockwise to
decrease the flow, counter-clockwise to increase the flow.
The maximum number of complete rotations allowed is
five (5).

Note
When delivered, the system is in its default mode
(fully automatic [FA]). It may be easier to adjust
Note
safe pressure in standard (STD) or
semiautomatic (SA) mode so that the system
does not automatically begin purging when
energized.

Pneumatic connections
The 6000 series system requires only two pneumatic
connections to the protective enclosure, one for the
exhaust for the vent mounting and the other for the
protective gas supply for purging and pressurization.
The vent requires a single 1 1/2" conduit knockout (
50.8 mm]) hole in the enclosure. A lock ring with gasket
[
for sealing are provided. The control unit for the 6000
series provides a compression fitting with a lock ring and
washer connected to a 3/8" tube. All tubing and fittings
are 316L (UNS S31603) stainless steel. A single hole
into the enclosure as noted on the mounting template will
provide the installation for this fitting.
For replacement of this tubing use only 3/8" tubing with
wall thickness of 0.035" (0.9 mm).
The 6000 series control unit with the manifold can be
top, bottom, right, or left-hand mounted on the enclosure.
However, the manifold connections may have to be
reversed as shown below.
