EM6 is mounted on bulk petroleum vehicles or gantries and is designed to electronically measure and control all loading/offloading processes. The EM6 is housed in a combined Exd and Intrinsic safe enclosure, which has approximate dimensions of 347mm x 226mm x 91mm. Four M10 bolts secures the EM6 onto the vehicle or gantry installation.
The equipment is only certified for use in ambient temperatures in the range -20°C to +60°C and should not be used outside this range. d) If welding is to be done on a vehicle or structure after the EM6 has been installed, then all connections to the EM6 must be isolated.
12.9 SHCH (socket head cap screws). Washers are fitted to the fasteners up to a maximum of 3.1mm thick h) The EM6 System is group IIA equipment and may connect to group IIA equipment. It may be used with flammable gases and vapors with apparatus group IIA and with the temperature classes T1, T2, T3 and T4.
