Introduction
The assembly described in this manual is an explosion-proof enclosure and intelligent speaker amplifier
designed to be installed in hazardous areas where combustible gases exist or may exist. The extra thick
cast aluminum enclosure, while not gas tight, is designed to withstand repeated internal explosions
without expelling gases hot enough to ignite the external atmosphere. This is accomplished through the
use of a precision-machined enclosure opening flame path that cools the exiting gases to a temperature
below the flash point of the external, explosive atmosphere.
How to Use the Assembly/Model
Application
The hazardous area SmartSeries amplifier is designed to provide clear communications even in high noise
areas where explosive atmospheres exist or may exist.
The Model 670-801-EX is BASEEFA approved to CENELEC Standards Ex dib for Zone 1, Group IIC
T5.
The Model 670-801-UL is approved by Underwriters Laboratories for:
Class 1, Div. 1, Groups C and D
Class II, Div. 1, Groups E, F, and G
Class III, Div. 1
The intelligent SmartSeries amplifier is designed for use on the GAI-Tronics single party or multi-party
system cable. It includes micro-controllers that are programmed to:
Receive and send data messages on the system cable
Measure ambient noise and adjust speaker level
Monitor and control optional external equipment

    Pub. 42004-615L2 Model 670-801-EX and 670-801-UL SmartSeries Amplifiers Page: 7 of 15 Installation Before installing SmartSeries equipment, design the system layout taking into consideration personnel safety, operational function and convenience, and power cable length. In general, for 115 V ac systems the total power cable length should not exceed 1 mile (1.6 km), but the length of cable between the stations is not a critical factor.

Adjustments CAUTION It is necessary to open the explosion-proof enclosure to make adjustments. Make adjustments only when the conditions at your facility are such that no explosive atmospheres can be present. This assembly includes one control that permits adjustments to be made while the assembly is mounted in its enclosure but with the bolted cover removed.
