System is all-in-one-solution for Div 2/Zone 2 applications

“The 5500 series is comprised of three components, which include a control unit, an EPV vent, and a pneumatic solenoid or manual valve. The compact (5X5X4) control unit can be internally or externally mounted and provides an easy-to-use interface, enabling users to select from a list of custom programs that fits the exact needs of their particular applications,” says Kristen Barbour, Product Marketing Manager. “Users can also define temperature ranges to control and alarm critical temperatures within the purge enclosure. When a critical temperature is reached, a solenoid displaces air or initiates heating or cooling functions within the enclosure to keep equipment operating safely and productively.”

Additionally, when the control unit detects a drop in pressure, it automatically compensates to ensure that pressure within the enclosure does not fall below the minimum value. This leakage compensation helps prevent alarm shutdown and keeps processes up and running, saving valuable time and money.

Universal Vent Design
The EPV-5500 vent works with the 5500 control unit and valve to provide a functional, certified purge and pressurized system for enclosures. The EPV-5500 vent functions as a pressure relief device, enabling the purge gas to exit the enclosure while providing a seal when the enclosure is pressurised and operating. The vents mechanical construction supports universal mounting in to easily fit in cabinet or machine housing designs.

This 5500 series has third-party worldwide approvals for in NEC, CEC, IEC Standards and CE Directives for Class I,II,III/ Division 2 and Zone 2/22 environments.
