Important Information 2.5 Electromagnetic Compatibility The Type 8852A… AE System meets the EMC regulations: EN 61326-1:2013. Connections in explosive environments and differences in ground potential when connecting the cable can produce sparking. With normal coaxial connections, as used with most piezoelectric sensors, the shield utilizes a signal return lead with connections over long distances.

ATEX/CSA Hazardous Area System 4.4 Wiring Details Fig. 6: Layout of terminals on PCB Assembly 4.5 Special Conditions for Safe Use The apparatus enclosure may contain light metals. The appa- ratus must be installed in such a manner as to minimize the risk of impact or friction with other metal surfaces.
Mounting, Installation & Operation Installation in NEC-or CSA- defined Class 1, Zone 2 areas must be done using cabling recognized as NEC type PLTC, or CEC Type TC, within cable trays as defined in NEC Article 725 or CEC Appendix B, Paragraph 18-152, respectively. NEC Type ITC may also be used, when housed in a cable tray.
ATEX/CSA Hazardous Area System Pin-outs of the 2-pole terminal ST2: Designation Description White lead AE signal (input) J4-1 Inner screen (parallel Signal ground J4-2 lead) 5.2.1 Operation The Type 5125C… coupler is to be wired according to accep- table practices for Intrinsically Safe instruments, as defined in Section 4 of this document, which cites applicable parts of DIN EN 60079-14, IEC EN 60079-14, NEC Article 725 or CEC Appendix B, Paragraph 18-152.
Mounting, Installation & Operation Choke (4 places) Fig. 7: Type 5125C0XXX with cover removed 5.2.2 Filters Type 5125C… has two series-connected, second-order filters (40 dB/decade). For the Type 5125C... coupler, the high-pass filter is 50 kHz and the low-pass filter is 1,000 kHz. A band- pass filter is produced by the series connection of a high and low-pass filter.
ATEX/CSA Hazardous Area System 5.2.3 RMS (Root Mean Square) Converter The time constant τ for the RMS converter can also be varied by selection of the RMS module, which includes a first order low-pass filter. The integration time constant τ determines the time over which the root mean square value is created.

ATEX/CSA Hazardous Area System 6. Application Example The AE sensor is particularly suitable for measuring acoustic emissions above 50 kHz in the surface of machine struc- tures. These sound emissions (AE) occur, for example, during plastic deformation of materials, crack formation and propagation, fracture or friction.
Calibration & Maintenance 7. Calibration & Maintenance 7.1 General The AE system cannot be repaired in the field. The sensor and the coupler must be returned to the factory for service or re-calibration. 7.2 Care & Cleaning In general, dust or foreign material should be cleaned from the enclosure using a soft brush or a clean, dry dust cloth.
ATEX/CSA Hazardous Area System 8. Storage & Transit Considerations If the instrument is to be stored or transported for an extended period of time, please follow these safety precautions: The temperature should be maintained between –20 °C and 60 °C [–4 °F and 140 °F]. ...
