“Pressurization” is a method of protection used in Zone 1 and Zone 2 Hazardous Locations to ensure that the interior of an electrical enclosure, for example the motor housing, is free of ® flammable gas. With the utilization of the Expo MiniPurge system, the motor may be used safely in a hazardous environment.
Power” (A&T – Alarm and Trip). This can be changed by the customer to “Alarm Only” (AO), please refer to Section titled ‘Main Components’ - “Alarm Only” circuit. ® The Motor MiniPurge system incorporates a "Closed Loop Automatic Pressurization System" (CLAPS) whereby the system will detect a fall or rise in the motor internal pressure &...

conditions are satisfied, a “Purge Complete” output signal is produced which is sent to perform the following functions: turn on the electrical supply to the PE, turn off the high purge flow and start the “Leakage Compensation” mode. It will also provide a hold-on signal to maintain the system in “Leakage Compensation”...
Cable glands must be “Ex” certified if they are non-metallic. 6. Installation of the System This equipment is designed for use under normal industrial conditions of ambient temperature, humidity and vibration. Please consult Expo before installing this equipment in conditions that may cause stresses beyond normal industrial conditions. ®...

® The MiniPurge system should be connected to a protective gas supply, which is suitable for ® purging and pressurization. The supply pipe connection to the MiniPurge is 1” NPT(F) but the supply pipe shall be sized for the maximum input purge flow rate for the application and regulated to 6 barg.
The “CLAPS Leakage Compensation Valve” can be set finally only when the enclosure has been installed in its permanent operating location. • Check that the system has been installed in accordance with Expo Instructions. ® • Disconnect the supply pipe from the inlet to the MiniPurge...

• Connect a manometer to the bulkhead fitting, with a 4mm nylon tube, from where the Minimum Pressure sensing “Green” pipe was removed. ® • Close the Purge Flow Restrictor valve and turn on the compressed air to the MiniPurge Then, very slowly, open the Purge Flow restrictor until the pressure Relief Valve opens and check the opening pressure is within calibration.
The maintenance recommended for the system consists of the following, supplemented by any additional requirements imposed by the local Code of Practice. Expo recommends that the commissioning tests be repeated at every six to 24 months, dependent on the environment. In addition the following checks are also recommended at that time: •...
If the system is less than 12 months old, parts under warranty should be returned to Expo for investigation, with a full report of the fault and the system Serial Number. As with any pneumatic system the greatest enemies are water, oil and dirt in the air supply. For this reason the air system must always incorporate a dust and water filter to provide air to instrument quality.

OK. Remove the clamp and retest. If the system ceases to time out, there is an air leak in the reservoir circuit. Use soapy water to detect the leak and then rectify it. (Call Expo Ltd. if in doubt). Finally recheck the purge timer at its full setting.
