Safety Regulations

WARNING! 

CORRECT USE

• Do NOT install or operate the device until you read and understand the instructions, warnings and cautions in this manual.
• Repair or alteration of the device beyond the procedures described in the user guide or by anyone other than a person authorized by MSA, could cause the unit to fail to perform properly. Use only genuine MSA replacement parts when performing any maintenance procedures described in the user guide. Substitution of components can seriously impair performance of the unit, alter intrinsic safety characteristics or void agency approvals.
• Repair or alteration of the device beyond the scope of the maintenance instructions in this manual or by anyone other than MSA or MSA-approved service personnel can cause incorrect operation of the device and put persons who use this device for their safety at risk of serious injury or death.

HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT

General

• The FL5000 is rated Explosion Proof (XP) for use in hazardous locations.
• Do NOT remove the cover from the device when the device is in operation or in an explosive atmosphere.
• Conduit seals or suitably approved Ex d glands must be used to preserve the explosion proof safety of the FL5000 and help prevent ingress of water or gas from the conduit systems. When Ex d cable glands are utilized, shielded cable must also be used. For Class I, Division I locations, a conduit seal must be installed within 18 inches of the enclosure per NEC regulations.
• For Class I, Division I locations, install a conduit seal within 18 in. (46 cm) of the device enclosure.
• Must be used with the blanking plug supplied with the detector which is suitably certified.
• Use ONLY a damp cloth to clean the device. Otherwise, electrical shock or ignition from ESD can occur.
• Toxic, combustible, and flammable gases and vapors are dangerous. Extreme caution should be used when these hazards are present.
• For dimensional information about flameproof joints, contact MSA.

Specific Conditions of Use (X) / Schedule of Limitations

• The flamepaths of the equipment are not intended to be repaired. Consult the manufacturer if repair of the flamepath joints is necessary.
• The surface of the FL5000 Flame Detector may store electrostatic charge and become a source of ignition in applications with a low relative humidity <~30% relative humidity where the painted surface is relatively free of surface contamination such as dirt, dust, or oil. Cleaning of the painted surface should only be done with a damp cloth.
• Consult the manufacturer for genuine replacement housing to base fasteners. M6x1x25mm Hexagonal Socket head fasteners with a minimum of ISO 4762 Grade A4 Class 70 are acceptable alternatives.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• An approved electrician must do electrical wiring.
• All wiring must satisfy the requirements of the applicable National Electrical Code (NEC), Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), and local electrical safety codes.
• Make sure that field connections to the FL5000 are applicable for the location and obey the wiring requirements of the NEC, CEC, and local electrical safety codes.
• The End User shall use supply connection wiring which must be rated 5°C above the maximum service temperature.
• The external earthing connection consists of cable lug with 928-333 stainless steel screw, the terminals are suitable for connection of a wire of at least 4 mm2.
• The internal terminals are suitable for connection of a wire equal to or greater than the power input wiring and at a minimum of 1 mm2 conductor.
• An End-Of-Line (EOL) resistor with a maximum power dissipation of up to 0.6 W may be fitted in the circuit inside the enclosure.
• The device may only be powered by a power supply unit with a limited energy electric output in accordance with CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1-12 / UL Std. No. 61010-1 (3rd Edition) chapter 6.3.1/6.3.2 and 9.4 or class 2 according to CSA 223/UL 1310.
• The FL5000 contains components that can be damaged by static electricity. In order to avoid static electricity, special care must be taken when wiring the system to ensure that only the connection points are touched.

OPERATION

• Do not install or operate a device that is damaged.
• Install the device in a location away from conditions (such as high-pressure steam) where electrostatic charge can collect on nonconducting surfaces. This equipment uses an external nonmetallic coating. If extreme levels of electrostatic charge collect, ignition can occur.
• Make sure that there is no physical blockage from permanent objects such as structures and equipment or temporary objects such as personnel and vehicles in the sensor's field of view. If there is physical blockage in the sensor's field of view, the device cannot accurately monitor the area for flame.
• Make sure that there is no ice, dirt, or debris on the optical window. Blockage of the optical window can result in a Fault condition.
• Keep the device safe from vibration and mechanical shock, which can cause damage.
• Do NOT connect or disconnect equipment when power is supplied to the device. Doing so can result in serious damage to the equipment. The warranty does not apply to equipment that is damaged in this way.
• The device has components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). When you do work with the device wiring, be careful to touch only the connection points. The warranty does not supply coverage for components that are damaged by ESD.
• The CSA Mark applies to process control functions only.
• Through engineering design, testing, manufacturing techniques, and rigid quality control, MSA supplies the finest flame detection systems available. The user must recognize his responsibility for maintaining the flame detection system in operational condition.
• Silicone Room Temperature Vulcanization (RTV) is not an approved moisture barrier. If used, damage to internal components will arise.
• Damage to the FL5000 housing where any internal components or protective seals are broken, compromises the safety and usability of the device. An FL5000 with a damaged or open housing should not be used in a hazardous environment. Such damage includes fractures in the housing, cracks in any internal components, or cracks in the protective seals.
