6. Strip length of wires terminating into the screw
terminals on the pluggable terminal block to be

7.
Add extra wire length of 1.25" (31.75 mm) past
top of opening in explosion-proof/flameproof box
to pluggable terminal block. (Allows connector
to be moved out of the way when changing
electronics. Prevents repouring seals.)
8. Wires are to be neatly tucked back down past the
lid threads before lid is placed on unit. The wires

must not loop past the high point of the plastic
cover. The wire nut should be tucked in last (if
not, it may be difficult to access when changing
electronics).

on the 6000 control unit will need a cap for

12. When removing the pluggable terminal block, it
is recommended that the electronics module be
supported by pressing down on top of the EPCU
to counteract the lifting force required to remove
the connector.
13. Wire should be copper only, rated 90 °C
minimum.
Attention
14. The minimum wire strand in a stranded wire
should have a diameter of 0.1 mm or greater.

certified to be used on any other hazardous

pneumatic connections and requirements are
met to operate this system. Please refer to
this manual and applicable standards/codes,
including current editio9n of the EN/IEC 60079-

I.S. wiring notes
For wires going to the explosion-proof/flameproof
box on the I.S. side:
1.
The wire strip length is to be between 0.2" and
0.27" (5 mm and 7 mm).
2. The wire's gauge depends on the number of
connections. Fewer wires allow for heavier
gauge and will still meet the conduit seal fill
requirement. See the applicable standards for fill
requirement.
3. The terminal blocks are rated for a wire size of
16 AWG (1.31 mm
4. If multiple wires need to land to a single terminal
(e.g., the RS-485 bus) these wires must be
Warning
either crimped to a single pin or grouped in an
external junction box with one wire going in to
the terminal.
5. The wires must have a minimum insulation
