  • Page 2: About This Manual

    INTRODUCTION The GLACIÄR X5 gas detector transmitter is a standalone detector approved for zone 1, 2, 21 or 22 ATEX environments. X5 is approved to both European, UK ATEX and international IECEx standards. The transmitter features a non-intrusive calibration, one or two independent detectors, 2 analogue outputs, relays and a wide range of sensor options.
  • Page 3 The relationship between the output signal and the gas concentration is linear, the control panel interprets the sig- nal and the gas level is displayed on the HMI display. SAMON holds evidence of this linear performance which is available upon request.

  • Page 6 CUSTOMER SEALING AND EARTHING REQUIREMENTS The JB3 is designed for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas and is ATEX & IECEx certified. To maintain compliance it is imperative the installer of the equipment observes the following installation guidelines. Failure to do so could compromise the protection concept of the equipment.
  • Page 7 CONSIDERATIONS FOR ATEX INSTALLATIONS The following notes on equipment selection and installation are taken from applicable standards. They are not intended to replace adequate knowledge and skill on the part of those using them. Also any and all applicable local regulations should be considered when deciding on installation methods and materials.

  • Page 8: Maintenance

    CONSIDERATIONS FOR ATEX INSTALLATIONS Un-used cores of a multi-core cable Any un-used cores in a multi-core cable must be either terminated to earth, or effectively isolated from other cores and terminations. We recommend terminating to the internal earth stud. Maintenance Whilst the maintenance of installations is the responsibility of the site operator, EN 60079-17 gives guidance on what should be checked and when.

    OVERVIEW X5 has 5 20mm x 1.5 threaded entries. Two of these can be used to mount 102 series gas detectors. Which port is used for each detector has an impact on how it Buttons that can be accessed using the is displayed on screen (sensor A or B).
  • Page 12 BASE PCB CONNECTIONS On first delivery it will be necessary to connect a sensor or sensors to the X5 and check the X5 correctly registers and installs them. a) Unscrew the X5 cover noting that it may be necessary to loosen the locking screw. b) With the lid unscrewed, unscrew the PCB retention screw using the Allen key provided.

  • Page 16 RELAYS X5 has 3 relays on-board. Fault Relay: This is normally energised in operation providing a closed connection that opens (de-energises) if a fault condition is detected. AL1 & AL2 Relays: By default these are normally de-energised and energise on breaching an alarm level. Note that alarm levels are automatically set based on the range and gas type of the detector(s) fitted.
