2.4. EPV-7500 Vents EPV-7500 vents work with the 7500 control unit and manifold to provide a functional, certifiable purge and pressurization system for enclosures. As required by all pressurized enclosure systems, the EPV-7500 vent functions as a pressure relief device and allows the purge gas to exit the enclosure, while still providing a seal when the enclosure is pressurized and operating.

2.5. 7500-Man-MV-01 Manual Manifold The 7500-MAN-MV-01 combines in one device a ball valve for purging and a needle valve for pressurizing an enclosure. The ball valve has a handle for easy actuation. To provide security and prevent tampering, the needle valve requires a slot-head screwdriver to set the enclosure pressure.
The 7500- MAN* carries ATEX/IECEx and CCC certifications. The 5500 or 7500 manifolds can be used with either the 5500 or the 7500 control unit. If the user implements a 5500-MAN with the 7500 control unit, they must pay special attention to the fuse size requirements of that solenoid and include an in-line fuse appropriately rated for the hazardous area.
Mounting hardware: screws, nuts, and sealing washers Note When ordering, note the supply voltage of the 7500 control unit. Order the manifold valves accordingly. Voltages are 24 V DC, 120 V AC, and 220 V AC. 5500 MAN-CDUL manifold valves are only available with 60 Hz operation.

The 7500 system is designed to allow the enclosure to be located in Zone 2 or 22, Class I or II, Division 2 hazardous locations to operate safely by first making them safe internally.
Refer to this manual and standards for explanation of requirements. Apply power to the 7500 series system. Program the 7500 system using the user-interface display on the front of the 7500 control unit. See Chapter 4 for instructions. Note This step is for initial setup of the 7500 system.
