The pressure parameters to be observed are part of IEC / EN 60079-2.
Furthermore, the pressure parameters are application-dependent and
must be checked during the initial commissioning.
The following values can be used as basic settings:
po = 2.5 mbar (250 Pa)
p1 = 1.0 mbar (100 Pa)
p2 = 1.5 mbar (150 Pa)
p3 = automatic determination by Ex p control unit
p4/ P5 = Application-dependent, e.g. pressure-sensitive components?
Procedure
 Connect the PC with the Ex p control unit and activate the programming
switch
 Log into the WEB interface with the user level
 Call up the menu "Purging parameters / Pressure parameter"
 Enter the "po - operating overpressure" parameter and confirm
e.g. 250 Pa (2.5 mbar)
The value "po" is the internal operating overpressure of the pressurised
enclosure. This value is monitored by the Ex p control unit and
compensated, if necessary.

A pop-up window displaying the changed value opens;
 Confirm the pop-up window with the changed value
 Enter the pressure parameter "p1 - minimum pressure" and confirm
e.g. 100 Pa (1.0 mbar)

A pop-up window displaying the changed value opens;
 Confirm the pop-up window with the changed value
 Enter the pressure parameter "p2 – pre-alarm" and confirm
e.g. 150 Pa (1.5 mbar)
 Confirm the pop-up window with the changed value
... Follow the same procedure for the other pressure parameters
 Deactivate the programming switch
