When using an inert gas like nitrogen, an asphyxiation hazard can exist. 2.2. 6100 System Overview The purpose of the Pepperl+Fuchs Bebco EPS 6100 series Ex pxb, Zone 1 motor purge and pressurization system is to allow general purpose or non-rated electrical equipment located in a general purpose enclosure to operate in Zone 1 locations.
Page 11
The auxiliary outputs can be configured to activate on input switch status, or any alarm states of pressure, flow, and temperature. The 6100 system uses many components of the Pepperl+Fuchs Bebco EPS 6000 series purge and pressurization system and can provide a complete system for purging and pressurizing motors for hazardous location operation.

6100 S i erieS anual nSTallaTion and PeraTion 3.3.3 6100 Series System Components The 6100 series consists of the 6100-MP-EX-XX-XXX control unit, which includes the pneumatic components for purging and pressurization and user interface, the EPV- 6100-MP-XXX-XXX enclosure vent, and the 6100-MP-LPP-01 pressure sensor. All three device are separate items.
6100 S i erieS anual nSTallaTion and PeraTion Note The flow rate through the system must be higher than the specified flow rate required for the purge because of leakage from the enclosure and safety tolerances due to temperature, barometric pressure, switch tolerances, and general tolerances of the system.
Page 36
6100 S i erieS anual nSTallaTion and PeraTion Purge Timing The enclosure purging time is based on the enclosure volume, the number of exchanges required, and the EPV-6100 vent being used. These parameters are entered by the user with the enclosure volume and number of exchanges provided by the user and the EPV-6100 vent flow rated listed on the data for the specific model.
Page 37
6100 S i erieS anual nSTallaTion and PeraTion The minimum purge time is two minutes. During the purging cycle, when the enclosure pressure reaches 0.62 mbar (0.25 in wc) or higher, there will be a 5 second delay before the rapid exchange solenoid valve is activated.
