Where a risk of asphyxiation exists, a warning label must be fitted to the pressurized enclosure. The following materials are used in the construction of SmartPurge systems. If substances that will adversely affect any of these materials are present in the surrounding environment, please consult Expo Technologies ltd for further guidance.
SP2-Fx Model This system is designed primarily for use when the purge gas is supplied by a fan (not supplied for Expo). Via a customised calibrated orifice plate, the SP2-Fx measures the differential pressure from the high and low pressure points across the orifice plate to detect the suitable purge flow of the enclosure.
4.4: Accessories Cable Gland Kit – SP2-GK An Expo recommended set of cable glands for field wiring. M16 Gland for cable of outer diameter 4 – 8.4 mm and M20 Gland for cable of outer diameter 7.2 – 11.7 mm Override Switch –...

Note: When turning ON, the system will first show the serial number. Check this corresponds with the system documentation and label. Contact Expo Technologies if there are any differences. 3. Slowly open the Air Supply Unit adjustment valve to allow the enclosure pressure to build up above the set minimum pressure, the display will change to Purge Flow Low.
Note: When turning ON, the system will first show the serial number. Check this corresponds with the system documentation and label. Contact Expo Technologies if there are any differences. 3. Once the enclosure has been pressurised and flow rate reached, the SmartPurge will enter purge mode.
