Model 9016 X-Purge Operator Interface
4.2 Purge Air Line Connection Instructions
4.2.1 For Division 1 X-Purge Systems Model 9016
After the unit has been mounted in its final location in the hazardous area, it
must be permanently connected to a purge air or inert gas line and checked for
leaks and proper operation of the purge/pressurization system. Only when its
pressure integrity has been established should electrical signals and power be
brought "live" to the unit.
ALWAYS follow all NEC, NFPA, and local codes when installing purge systems
in hazardous areas!
familiar with national and local codes, supervise hazardous area equipment
installations.
Equipment Required
• Clean, dry purge air or inert gas supply equipped with local water/oil separator or
filter capable of supplying 40 to 300 SCFH at 30 to 60 PSI.
• Fittings and tubing for purge air or inert gas supply (0.25" NPT Male to connect to
the inlet of the purge system).
• Local air pressure shutoff valve.
Procedure
1. Mount the enclosure in the location in which it will be installed near the source of air or
inert gas to be used for the purge system.
2. Install the pressure regulator, water/oil separator or filter, shutoff valve, pressure relief
valve, and pressure gauge in the purge air or inert gas line (see drawing P011).
Bleed the purge air or inert gas line to ensure that dirt, moisture, and other contaminants

are cleared from the line prior to connecting the line to the unit!
4. Connect the purge gas line to the inlet of the regulator on the Purge Unit.
5. The PAC-Seals bringing the power and signals to the explosion-proof I/O casting should
already be installed. Connect the signal lines to the interlock system (see drawings E018,
E019, E022, and E025).
