• Ex Classification
• ATEX Code Definition
• Explosion Prevention Guidelines
  • Cleanliness
  • Usage

Temperatures

• The maximum surrounding temperature for which the certification is valid is 40°C.

• 40°C is also the maximum allowed temperature of the compressed air when it enters the product.

• If the product is installed in an equipment, the entire equipment has to correspond to the guidelines 2014/34/EU.

• Make sure that the compressed air fulfil our quality demands (quality classes 2.4.3. and 3.4.4 respectively 3.5.4 acc. to ISO/DIS 8573-1:2010).

• Do not exceed maximum pressure of 6.3 bar, or as stated on the product nameplate. Exceeding the operating pressure can increase the surface temperature due to higher rotating speed and the product can become an ignition source.

Ex Classification

If the product is part of an assembly where the components have different Ex classification, the component with the lowest level of safety defines the Ex classification of the complete assembly.

ATEX Code Definition

The ATEX code is:
	Ex II 2 G Ex h IIC T4 Gb Ex II 2 D Ex h IIIC T110°C Db   °C ≤ Ta ≤ 40 °C

Explosion Prevention Guidelines

• Cleanliness
• Usage

Cleanliness

• Make sure the product is kept clean from dust and dirt to prevent increased bearing and surface temperature.

• If using a silencer: Make sure a silencer with a filtering effect at the air outlet is installed to prevent any friction-heated particles entering into the surrounding atmosphere.

Usage

• Make sure the product is earthed to the equipotential bonding system of the workshop, for example through accessories such as hoses and air-pressure connections.

• It is the responsibility of the user to make sure that the product and all possible accessories, such as wrenches and air connections, conform to the national safety regulations for equipment used in potentially explosive areas.

Air Quality

• For optimum performance and maximum product life we recommend the use of compressed air with a maximum dew point of +10°C (50°F). We also recommend to install an Atlas Copco refrigeration type air dryer.

• Use a separate air filter which removes solid particles larger than 30 microns and more than 90% of liquid water. Install the filter as close as possible to the product and prior to any other air preparation units to avoid pressure drop.

For impulse/impact tools make sure to use lubricators adjusted for these tools. Regular lubricators will add too much oil and therefore decrease the tool performance due to too much oil in the motor.

Make sure that the hose and couplings are clean and free from dust before connecting to the tool.

Both lubricated and lubrication free products will benefit from a small quantity of oil supplied from a lubricator.

Air Lubrication Guide

Recommended air lubricators:

• Atlas Copco Optimizer (1 liter) 9090 0000 04

• Q8 Chopin 46

• Q8 Chopin 32

• Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A 320

• Mobil SHC Cibus 32

Compressed Air Connection

WARNING

Risk of severe injury

Air under pressure can cause injury.

• Always shut off the air supply when not in use or before any adjustments.

• Drain the hose of air pressure and disconnect the tool from air supply when not in use or before any adjustments.

• Always use the correct hose size and air pressure for the tool.

WARNING

Compressed Air

High air pressure can cause severe damage and bodily injury.

• Do not exceed maximum air pressure.

• Make sure that there are no damaged or loose hoses or fittings.

For correct air pressure and hose size, see the Technical Product Data on - https://servaid.atlascopco.com or www.atlascopco.com.

Make sure that the hose and couplings are clean and free from dust before connecting to the tool.

IP Rating

The IP Rating of the air motors is set under pressurized condition and excludes the outlet or attached silencer. If the motor will operate submerged or in heavy water jets, it's recommended to lead the outlet away from water with a hose. When submerged, always keep the motor pressurized with a higher pressure than the corresponding depth.

Ergonomic Guidelines

Consider your workstation as you read through this list of general ergonomic guidelines and see if you can identify areas for improvement in posture, component placement, or work environment.

• Take frequent breaks and change work positions frequently.

• Adapt the work area to your needs and the work task.

  • Adjust for convenient reach range by determining where parts or tools should be located to avoid static load.

  • Use workstation equipment such as tables and chairs appropriate for the work task.

• Avoid work positions above shoulder level or with static holding during assembly operations.

  • When working above shoulder level, reduce the load on the static muscles by reducing the weight of the load. You can also reduce the load on the static muscles by holding the load close to the body.

  • Make sure to take frequent breaks.

  • Avoid extreme arm or wrist postures, particularly for operations requiring a degree of force.

• Adjust for convenient field of vision by minimizing movement of the eyes and head during the work task.

• Use the appropriate lighting for the work task.

• Use ear protection equipment in noisy environments.

• Use dust extraction system or mouth protection mask in dusty environments.

Operating Instructions

• Hot Spots

Hot Spots

The following hot spots on the motor can reach high temperatures during operation. The image shows hot spots for specific models:

• Seal ring at the output shaft (A, B, C)

• Joint between front part and gear ring (A, B)

• Key grip (A, B)

The highest temperatures occur when the motor is running at full pressure without load. With increasing torque, the air motor reduces the rotational speed and the temperature.

Service Recommendations

Preventive maintenance is recommended at regular intervals. See the detailed information on preventive maintenance. If the product is not working properly, take it out of service and inspect it.

If no detailed information about preventive maintenance is included, follow these general guidelines:

• Clean appropriate parts accurately

• Replace any defective or worn parts

Overhaul

To achieve the best engine service life under normal operating conditions, regular overhaul and cleaning should be carried out every 12 months or after every 1000 hours (without lubricated air) or 2000 hours (with lubricated air) of operation, whichever is the sooner. Overhaul should be carried out more frequently under more rigorous operating conditions.

Clean the engine thoroughly.
Fit the engine and check that it rotates freely. Pour two drops of oil into the air intake and idle the engine for 5–10 seconds.

If the compressed air is very dry, the idle speed for lubricant-free engines may decrease slightly after fairly long periods of operation. This decrease may amount to 10–15%.

Maintenance

• Maintenance and repairs of this ATEX product must be carried out exclusively by authorised personnel, after which a no-load test and temperature measurements of hotspots (as seen in the figure) must be carried out and recorded in a report.

  After a 5 min no-load test the surface temperature must not exceed the sum of 70°C + surrounding temperature, where the surrounding temperature can vary between 0 – 40°C.

Lubrication Instructions

• Rust Protection and Cleaning
• Grease Guide
• Lubrication

Rust Protection and Cleaning

Water in the compressed air can cause rust. To prevent rust we strongly recommend to install an air dryer.

Water and particles can cause sticking of vanes and valves. This can be prevented by installing an air filter close to the product to avoid pressure drop.

Before longer stand stills always protect your tool by adding a few drops of air motor oil into the air inlet. Run the tool for 5–10 seconds and absorb any excess oil at the air outlet in a cloth.

Grease Guide

Lubrication

Planetary gears, ball- and needle bearings and seal ring should be lubricated with grease in conjunction with the regular overhaul of the motor.

Always use lubricants of good quality. The oils and greases mentioned in the chart are examples of lubricants which are recommended.
