NOTE: The Purge Dilution Calculator can only be used if you are using a Purge Solutions, Inc. Protective Gas Inlet Kit, as the Purge Cycle Time calculations are based on empirical test performed with Purge Solutions, Inc. Protective Gas Inlet Kits and proprietary purge system components.
Step 14: Connect power to the Purge Indicator; Green LED should illuminate. Step 15: With Green LED illuminated; start the manual Purge Cycle Time. Step 16: With Purge Indicator Green LED remaining steady state illuminated and Purge Cycle Time verified; power can be connected to electrical equipment within pressurized protected panel.
Continuous Dilution Combustible Dust Applications Should Perform the Initial Startup Steps as Follows: WARNING: Purging of equipment is not suitable for Class II, Division 2 and Group III, Zone 22 Combustible Dust Areas since purging is likely to cause a dust cloud from purge gas exiting exhaust vent. Step 1: Make sure that area surrounding panel to be pressurized is non-hazardous.
Step 11: With Purge Indicator Green LED remaining illuminated; power can be connected to electrical equipment within pressurized protected panel. Minimum overpressure settings should be recorded for use during any future maintenance or service of pressurized panel. NOTE: If Purge Indicator Green LED does not remain illuminated, check for the following possible problems.
