VLXE .. A-Ex

Ex vacuum leak detector in a two-part version:

The leak detector VLXE .. A-Ex is weather- and explosion-proof and can be installed in Ex zone 1.

The associated weatherproof leak indicating unit LAE .. PM with integrated digital manometer and leak tightness detection function is installed outside an Ex area.

TYPES of leak detectors:

VLXE 34 A-Ex MV

VLXE 330 A-Ex MV

(other pressure settings are available)

TYPES of leak indicating units:

LAE 34 PM, LAE 330 PM

(other pressure settings are available)

PIPES:

Double-walled sufficiently pressure-resistant pipes and fittings made of metal or plastic in factory- or site-manufactured versions.

STORED PRODUCTS:

Water-polluting liquids. The (possible) explosive vapor-air mixtures (also those that can be formed through the stored/conveyed liquids in contact with air, humidity, condensation, or the materials used) must be classifiable into gas group II A to II B3 as well as in the temperature code T1 to T4. Example: petrol.

Special versions with detonation flame arresters type F 502 extend the range of application to explosion group IIB + H2.

INSTALLATION:

Leak detector (device category 2): zone 1, outdoors

Leak indicating unit: outside of Ex areas, inside a building or outdoors

HOUSING / IP RATE / TEMPERATURE RANGE:

VLXE .. A-Ex: stainless steel box / IP 66 / -40 °C .. +55 °C

LAE .. PM: stainless steel box / IP 66 / -40 °C .. +60 °C

PRESSURE RESISTANCE (maximum pressure in inner pipe):

VLX .. A-Ex: 5 bar

PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS:

QU8/6: Quick union ferrule for polyamide (PA) hose 8/6x1mm

CF8/6: Compression ferrule for copper (CU) pipe 8/6x1mm or polyamide (PA) hose 8/6x1mm

ss-CF8/6: Stainless steel compression ferrule for stainless steel (ss) pipe 8/6x1mm or polyamide (PA) hose 8/6x1mm

!With plastic pipes observe required pressure resistance!

The requirements of the respective documentation must be observed!
