  • Page 11 MAN0627_Issue 5_05/13 Zareba Sensepoint Technical Manual 2106M0525 Installation Cautions The detector’s enclosure is suitable for installation within an explosive atmosphere as described in EN60079-0. Installation must be in accordance with EN60079-29-2 and current wiring regulations of the country where the enclosure is installed. The marking on the detector cover label must match the ambient temperature where the enclosure is installed. The detector enclosure is manufactured from glass-filled polyester (GFP) and fitted with stainless steel cover fixing screws, neoprene (or silicone) ‘O’ ring, and brass earth screws. Contact with aggressive substances may affect the performance of these materials. The detector is intended for use under normal industrial conditions and must not be installed in an area where extreme vibration may occur. The enclosure has been tested to IP66 and with the cover fully tightened down and the use of suitable cable entry devices will maintain this protection under normal working conditions, however a minimum protection of IP64 must be achieved. This chapter provides the following information about installing Sensepoint: • Locating the detector, see page 11 •...

Cabling Cabling may be SWA cable or conduit run. Wire size 1.0 to 2.5 mm2 (17 to 14 AWG) max., with suitable M20 explosion-proof gland, or 1/2 in. NPT, or 3/4 in. NPT steel conduit. Use any of the 3 cable/conduit entries.

  • Page 16 MAN0627_Issue 5_05/13 Zareba Sensepoint Technical Manual 2106M0525 Installation Power The toxic detector requires a power supply of 16-30 Vdc (at up to 30 mA). Ensure that a minimum supply of 16 Vdc is measured at the detector, taking into account the voltage drop due to cable resistance. For example, the nominal DC supply at the control panel has a guaranteed minimum supply of 18 Vdc.

  • Page 26 MAN0627_Issue 5_05/13 Zareba Sensepoint Technical Manual 2106M0525 Maintenance 15 Reconnect the sensor wiring at the terminal block. Cautions All conductors must be fully tightened down within the terminals. Conductor tightening screws must be below the surface of the terminal and it is important that the correct sized screwdriver is used. An oversized screwdriver will break the insulation around the terminal. The enclosure is fitted with an earth continuity plate and internal and external earth studs. A suitable ring-type terminal lug must always be used to secure the earth conductor. Refer to your written record for the position of the wiring, or see page 17.
