7500 Series Manual EPV-7500 Vents EPV-7500 vents work with the 7500 control unit and manifold to provide a functional, certifiable purge and pressurization system for enclosures. As required by all pressurized enclosure systems, the EPV-7500 vent functions as a pressure relief device and allows the purge gas to exit the enclosure, yet provides a seal when the enclosure is pressurized and operating.

The ball valve has a handle for easy actuation. To provide security and prevent tampering, the needle valve requires a slot-head screwdriver to set the enclosure pressure. Note! The 7500-MAN-MV-01 manifold can be used with 7500 series or 5500 series purge and pressurization systems. Note 4.3.1...
7500 Series Manual Automatic Manifolds Pepperl+Fuchs 5500 series automatic manifolds can be used with the 7500 system because the area classification is the same for both systems. The 7500 system is certified with the control unit and the EPV- 7500 vents and does not include the manifolds. The 5500 manifolds have their own certification from the manufacturers.

7500 Series Manual Installation and Operation The 7500 series control unit, vent, and manifold can be universally mounted to the customer enclosure. The 7500-01-AA-STD-UNV-PNO is panel-mounted to the enclosure. An included bracket provides a Type 4X / IPX6 mounting. The7500-MTD-PM... includes the 7500-01... control unit and 7500-MAN-MV-01 mounted onto a flat panel that is then panel-mounted to the enclosure with the included bracket and gasket for a Type 4X / IPX6 mounting.
1. Ensure that the system meets all electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic connections before operation. Refer to this manual and standards for explanation of requirements. 2. Apply power to the 7500 series system. 3. Program the 7500 system using the user-interface display on the front of the 7500 control unit. See chapter 6 for instructions.

7500 Series Manual Purge Programming Settings There are 5 program selections for system operation. Programs 1 through 4 are for hazardous gas environments and require purging. The fifth program is for hazardous dust environments that require cleaning the enclosure, then pressurizing.
7500 Series Manual Warning! If K1 is used to energize power to the enclosure, K1 will remain energized if pressure is below P1 during system operation. An alarm is required and must be located such that an operator will be notified of the alarm.
7500 Series Manual 6.5.3 Program 3 Program 3 is used in hazardous gas atmospheres. Pre-Purge The purge valve (SV) is energized when enclosure pressure is greater than P1. If enclosure pressure goes above P4 during purging, the SV will shut off but will energize when below P4.
7500 Series Manual Operation Mode After the purge timer counts down, SV shuts off and K1 is energized. If enclosure pressure drops below P3, the SV is energized and will stay energized for the value of HYST (%, leakage compensation). If HYST is set to 0, leakage compensation is turned off. However, Program 4 is usually used when a continuous purging through the enclosure is required during operation mode.
7500 Series Manual 6.5.6 Sequence of Events for All Programs Program Purging P<P1 P1<P<P2 P2<P<P3 P3<P<P4 P>P4 Clean activates above P1 After purging P<P1 P1<P<P2 P2<P<P3 P3<P<P4 P<P4 Note! Shutdown timer and bypass affect the status of K1 and SV. See the explanation for each to determine effects on K1 and SV.
7500 Series Manual Minimum Enclosure Pressure “P1” In accordance with the applicable standards and tolerances on the 7500 pressure sensor, the minimum operating pressures are as follows: Gas environments: 0.25 in wc (0.63 mbar) Dust environments: 0.65 in wc (1.63 mbar) When enclosure pressure drops below P1 during operation mode, the power has to be interrupted.
Page 44
7500 Series Manual Leakage Compensation Hysteresis “HYST” In operation mode, there may be excess leakage of pressure from the enclosure because a seal or gasket has caused a drop in regulated line pressure (protective gas source). The leakage compensation option allows the SV to turn on to compensate for these unintentional leakages.
7500 Series Manual 6.11 Programming K2 The K2 contact output can be programmed for various settings that are chosen by the user. For Type Z and Ex pz systems, power to the pressurized enclosure can remain on if pressure goes below the minimum allowed pressure, but an audible and/or visual alarm must be generated to notify the operator of a problem.
7500 Series Manual 6.12 Shutdown Timer for K1 The shutdown timer is used in the operation mode and allows K1 to remain on for the duration of this setting when enclosure pressure drops below the minimum setting of P1. If the pressure goes above P1 during the countdown, the timer is reset.
7500 Series Manual 6.13 Bypass The Bypass mode allows power to the enclosure to be energized when the enclosure pressure is below the minimum pressure P1. This can be useful in commissioning the enclosure or working on the enclosure when it is open.
7500 Series Manual 6.15 Change Password To change the existing password, use the UP and DOWN buttons for each digit. Enter 4 digits. To cancel without saving a new password, press RESET. The existing password will still be valid. Note! There is no confirmation of key strokes when changing the password.
7500 Series Manual Determining Purging Time To make sure the enclosure is safe from the hazardous atmosphere, the inside of the enclosure has to be free of the hazardous atmosphere and pressurized before the equipment inside can be powered. The first step in this process is to get rid of the hazardous atmosphere within the enclosure.
