3. Application Suitability
MiniPurge Systems are certified for use in Hazardous Areas, where the Hazardous Area is nonmining (i.e. above ground) and the hazard is caused by flammable gasses, vapors or dust.
Depending on the model, the systems may be used in IECEx and ATEX Zone 1(21) and Zone
2(22) - Categories 2 and 3 respectively.
MiniPurge systems may be used for hazards of any gas group. However, apparatus associated
with the MiniPurge system, such as intrinsically safe signaling circuits and flameproof enclosures
containing switching devices may be limited in their gas group. The certification documentation
supplied with any such devices must be checked to ensure their suitability.
This system is designed for use primarily with compressed air. Where other inert compressed
gasses are used (Nitrogen, for example) the user must take suitable precautions so that the build
up of the inert gas does not present a hazard to health. Consult the Control of Substances
Hazardous to Health (COSHH) data sheet for the gas used. Where a risk of asphyxiation exists, a
warning label must be fitted to the Pressurized Enclosure (PE).
The following materials are used in the construction of MiniPurge systems. If substances that will
adversely affect any of these materials are present in the surrounding environment, please consult
Expo for further guidance.

4. Description and Principle of Operation
The MiniPurge system is pneumatic in operation, with electric interfaces.

Pressurization is a method of protection used in Zone 1 and Zone 2 Hazardous Locations to
ensure that the interior of an electrical enclosure, for example the motor housing, is free of
flammable gas. With the utilization of the Expo MiniPurge system, the motor may be used safely
in a hazardous environment.
Pressurization is simple. Clean uncontaminated compressed air, or an inert gas, from a nonhazardous area is admitted to the motor enclosure to keep the internal pressure at least 0.5 mbar
above the pressure outside. External flammable gas cannot enter the enclosure while it is
pressurized.
Before power can be switched on, the enclosure must be purged to remove any flammable gas
that might have entered the enclosure before it was pressurized. Purging is the action of
replacing the air inside an enclosure with air known to be free of flammable gas. The duration of
the purging time is normally ascertained on an electrical motor by performing a Purge Test.
At the end of the Purging cycle the system automatically switches to Leakage Compensation
mode. The Purge Outlet Valve is closed and the flow of purging air is reduced to a level where
there is enough flow of air to compensate merely for the leakage of air from the enclosure whilst
maintaining the minimum over-pressure state. Interface contacts are provided within the system to
provide an interlock to the motor control gear.
In the event of pressure failure within the motor housing the system will raise an alarm in the form
of visual indicators and a volt free contact depending on the specification of the system. The
default action on loss of pressurization by the MiniPurge is Alarm and Automatic Disconnect of

Power (A&T Alarm and Trip). This can be changed by the customer to Alarm Only (AO),
please refer to Section titled Main Components - Alarm Only circuit.
The Motor MiniPurge system incorporates a "Closed Loop Automatic Pressurization System"
(CLAPS) whereby the system will detect a fall or rise in the motor internal pressure &
automatically compensate by increasing or decreasing the leakage compensation flow rate into
the motor. This system has been specifically designed to maintain a stable internal motor
pressure during motor start-up when pressure peaks or drops are particularly prevalent or when
changes in pressure are caused by running temperature variations.
5. Main Components
Air Supply Filter/Regulator:
The unit is provided with a 50-micron liquid / dust filter element as a precaution. The user of the
MiniPurge system must ensure that air supply is to the quality stated in Air Supply Quality'
paragraph found in the Installation section. The regulator is factory set to 5 barg (75 psig) and will
regulate the pressure of an air supply between 5-16 barg (75-240 psig). A pressure gauge is fitted
down stream of the filter. This should indicate no less than 5 barg (75 psig). During purge you
may notice the pressure drop down to 2.5 barg (36 psig).
Logic Air Supply Regulator:
This device provides the system with a stable logic pressure supply for consistent operation. The
pressure level is factory set to 2.1 barg (31 psig) and can be verified by means of the integral
pressure gauge. It should only be adjusted if the gauge indicates that the regulated pressure is
incorrect.
Logic Manifold:
This black block contains most of the logic components in the system and can be thought of as a
pneumatic printed circuit board. It has internal passageways that interconnect the components
with facilities for connections to the off-manifold items. It incorporates the following major items:
Minimum Pressure Sensor. The pressure inside the PE is monitored continuously by this device.
When the pressure is correct i.e. above the minimum pressure specified for safe operation, the
sensor provides a Pressurized output signal that can be seen by the operator, displayed on the
Red / Green visual indicator. The sensor is factory calibrated to operate on a falling pressure at
or above the minimum specified pressure.
Purge Flow Sensor. The purge flow through the Relief Valve (RLV) / Purge Outlet Valve is
monitored by this device. When the purge flow is correct i.e. above the minimum purge flow
specified for correct purging, the sensor provides a Purging output signal that can be seen by the
operator, displayed on the Black / "Yellow" visual indicator. The sensor is factory calibrated to
operate on a falling flow rate at or above the minimum specified purge flow rate.
Purge Timer. When the PE pressure is correct and the correct Purge Flow is taking place, a
signal is sent to the Purge Timer to start the timing period. The signal passes through a dedicated
in-line mini-filter to a ruby flow restrictor. The resulting bleed of air is collected by a calibrated
reservoir where the pressure gradually rises. Also connected to the reservoir is the pilot port of the
Timer Selector Valve. When the pre-set purge time has elapsed and the reservoir pressure
has risen to the timer valve operating pressure, the timer valve provides a signal to the Purge
Complete Valve.
Purge Complete Valve. This valve receives the signal from the purge timer when the purge
time has been completed and checks that Pressurized signal is also still present. If both
conditions are satisfied, a Purge Complete output signal is produced which is sent to perform the
following functions: turn on the electrical supply to the PE, turn off the high purge flow and start
ML434 v12
Issued 31/8/10
Page 7 of 17
the Leakage Compensation mode. It will also provide a hold-on signal to maintain the system in
Leakage Compensation mode with the power switch on even when the Purge Timer has reset
ready for the next purge cycle whenever it is required.
Or Gate. This device provides the Purge Complete Valve with its hold-on function referred to
above. When either the Timed Out signal or the Purge Complete signal is present it allows the
pilot signal to be applied to the Purge Complete Valve.
Alarm Only Circuit. The system normally will cut off the electrical power to the PE if the
enclosure pressure is too low. In certain circumstances, where local codes of practice allow, the
system can be altered to provide a hold-on circuit that will maintain the electrical power supply to
the PE while also providing a Pressure Failure Alarm. The user must respond to the Alarm and
either restores the pressure to the PE or otherwise make the installation safe e.g. shut off the
electrical supply. The decision to use the Alarm Only facility, and the length of time during which
the enclosure is allowed to operate un-pressurized, is the responsibility of the user.
Warning:
It is potentially dangerous to energize the Pressurized Motor Enclosure in an unpressurized condition, when it is known there are potential explosive hazardous gases in
the area.
Motor Interlock Switch:
A Flameproof Ex d IIC Power Switch is located on the logic manifold which also contains the
pneumatic actuating piston. The cable from the switch is terminated in an Ex e II T100C (Tamb 200C to +550C) IP66 junction box.
Alarm/Pressurized Switch:
Like the Motor Interlock Switch this Ex d II device is operated by the Pressurized signal and
provides the facility for a remote electrical system status indicator to show Pressurized or
Pressure Failure Alarm. The cable from the switch is terminated in an Ex e II T100C (Tamb -200C
to +550C) IP66 junction box.
System Purging Switch:
This option is an Ex d II device operated by the Purge Flow signal and provides the facility for a
remote electrical system status indicator to show System Purging (sometimes called Purge in
Progress). The cable from the switch is terminated in an Ex e II T100C (Tamb -200C to +550C) IP66
junction box.
Intermediate Switch:
A Flameproof Ex d II Power Switch is located off the logic manifold. The cable from the switch is
terminated in an Ex e II T100C (Tamb -200C to +550C) IP66 junction box.
Purge Valve:
This valve controls the admission of purging air to the PE. It is sized to allow sufficient air into the
enclosure during purging based on the specified air supply pressure range, the minimum specified
purging outlet flow rate +10% and the expected leakage rate from the PE during purging. A Purge
Flow Restrictor, (a ball valve) valve is placed upstream of the Purge Valve to restrict the purge
flow to the minimum required. This Purge Flow Restrictor is factory set but can be re-adjusted
during commissioning if required. At the end of the purging cycle, the Purge Valve is closed by
the Purge Complete signal and then waits in the closed position until the next purging cycle is
needed. It has a control restrictor in its pilot signal line to slow down the speed at which it resets
when the next purge cycle is started.
CLAPS Sensor:
This sensor monitors the pressure within the motor and then sends a proportional control signal to
the CLAPS Leakage Compensation Valve to either increase or decrease the flow of air into the
ML434 v12
Issued 31/8/10
Page 8 of 17
motor enclosure to maintain a stable running pressure. The normal motor running pressure must
be determined prior to system start-up so that the CLAPS Sensor may be set to the desired level
to control the CLAPS Valve.
CLAPS Leakage Compensation Valve (CLAPS LCV):
This valve controls the airflow into the PE after the initial purging has been completed. It should be
adjusted initially to around 50% open. After purging has been completed the setting should be
adjusted so that the enclosure pressure is within the desired range and the Relief Valve (RLV) /
Purge Outlet Valve is closed.
Visual Indicators:
Visual indicators are fitted to provide local status information to the operator:
The Alarm/Pressurized indicator has two states:
Red
= Pressure Alarm i.e. Enclosure Pressure too low
Green*
= Pressurized
The Purging indicator has two states:
Black*
= Purge flow too low (or not in the purge mode)
Yellow
= Purge Flow above the minimum
* Green & Black combination is the indication during normal operation of the PE after the initial
purging process has been completed.
Relief Valve (RLV) / Purge Outlet Valve
The RLV unit allows the purge air to exhaust safely from the enclosure via an in-built Spark
Arrestor. The Spark Arrestor is designed to prevent the emission of arcs, sparks and
incandescent particles produced by normal operation or an electrical fault within the PE.
During purge cycle, a pneumatic cylinder operates a Purge Outlet Valve that lets the air in the
enclosure vent out through the RLV. When the system changes to leakage compensation
mode, the Purge Outlet Valve is closed and the enclosure sealed.
Purge air passes through the RLV and a correctly selected orifice plate will ensure that the
Purge Flow Sensor is activated once the selected purge flow has been attained. This is via a
preset pressure differential across an orifice.
The RLV unit has an in-built relief valve sized to ensure that, if the air supply pressure rises up
from the specified maximum, the internal enclosure pressure will not exceed the PE specified
maximum working pressure.
Terminal Box, Increased Safety Ex e II T1000C (Tamb -200C to +550C) IP66:
The Terminal Box is Increased Safety (Ex e) certified and incorporates the terminal connection
points for the alarm & interlock circuits. All contacts provided are Volt free (dry).
Cable entry methods (e.g. conduit or glands) shall conform to IEC / European or other relevant
local codes. The main requirement is that IP54 (or better) ingress protection must be provided by
the use of seals or washers. Cable glands must be Ex certified if they are non-metallic.
6. Installation of the System

This equipment is designed for use under normal industrial conditions of ambient temperature,
humidity and vibration. Please consult Expo before installing this equipment in conditions that
may cause stresses beyond normal industrial conditions.
The MiniPurge system shall be installed in accordance with relevant standards, such as IEC / EN
60079-14, and any local codes of practice that are in force.
Air Supply Quality
The MiniPurge system should be connected to a protective gas supply, which is suitable for
purging and pressurization. The supply pipe connection to the MiniPurge is 1 NPT(F) but the
supply pipe shall be sized for the maximum input purge flow rate for the application and regulated
ML434 v12

to 6 barg. The air supply to the filtration system must be clean, non-flammable, from a nonhazardous area and free from water and oil to BS ISO 8573-1: 2001 Class 2.2.1 or relevant local
standards. This is typically referred to as Instrument Air Quality. Although equipment will
operate with lower air quality, the operational life of the system will be adversely affected. The
equipment that is being protected may also suffer from poor air quality.

The air supply must be regulated to a pressure less than the maximum stated inlet pressure.
When an inert gas is used to supply the purge system, refer to the earlier warnings regarding the
safety of the gas used. Where risk of asphyxiation exists refer to Application Suitability section.
Prior to connecting the air supply to the purge system, flush the supply pipe work with air to
remove any debris that may have been introduced into the pipe work during installation. At least
10 seconds for every meter length of supply pipe.
Unless a supply shut-off valve has been specially fitted to the MiniPurge system, an external
shut-off valve with the same, or larger, thread size as the CU inlet fitting should be fitted by the
installer to prevent any restriction of purge flow.
The purge air from the MiniPurge CU should be piped within the PE to ensure purging of
potential dead air spots.
Warning: The correct logic supply pressure is vital to the reliability and calibration of the
system, therefore it should not be adjusted.
Location
The MiniPurge Control Unit (CU) should be installed either directly on or close to the Motor PE.
If not installed on the PE it should be as close as possible. It should be installed so that the
system indicators and certification labels may be readily observed.
Relief Valve: To achieve efficient purging, the points where air enters and exits the PE should
normally be at opposite ends of the enclosure. The RLV must be mounted vertically and there
should be a minimum clearance of 300mm (12) around the Spark Arrestor (purge outlet).
It is important that the interior and exterior of the Spark Arrestor is kept clean and debris is not
allowed to accumulate which might affect the calibration of the device. In particular the exterior of
the Spark Arrestor should not be painted or blocked off in any way.
Serial Numbers All parts of any system carry a common serial number. If installing more than
one system, ensure that this commonality is maintained on each installation.
Piping Unless the MiniPurge is directly connected to the PE, any piping, conduit and fittings
used to connect the CU to the PE should be metallic or appropriate to the environment into which
the system is installed. No valve may be fitted in any tube connecting the CU to the PE. Additional
consideration should always be given to local codes of practice.
Multiple Enclosures This purge system is not suitable for multiple enclosures.
ML434 v12
Issued 31/8/10
Page 10 of 17
Provision and Installation of Alarm Devices The system has a Minimum Pressure Sensor set to
a pressure of least 0.5 mbar. When the PE pressure is above this set point the sensor produces a
positive Pressurized signal. The relevant indicator on the CU will change from Red to Green
When the enclosure pressure falls below the set point of the sensor the Pressurized signal is
removed, i.e. absence of the signal indicates a Low Pressure Alarm condition. The indicator on
the CU will change from Green to Red. There are volt free (dry) contacts available within the
Terminal Box for remote usage. The user must make use of this alarm facility in accordance with
the local Code of Practice for Action on Pressure or Flow Failure. Most Codes include the
following recommendations:
ATEX Category 2 (Zone 1) Installations: Alarm and Automatic Trip of Power.
ATEX Category 3 (Zone 2) Installations Alarm Only on pressure or flow failure with power
being removed manually.
Power Supplies and their Isolation All power entering the PE shall be provided with a means of
isolation. This requirement also applies to any external power sources that are connected to
equipment such as volt-free (dry) contacts within the PE. For motor applications it is normally
via the Motor Interlock Switch.
Exception: Power to other apparatus that is already suitable for the hazardous area need not to
be isolated by the MiniPurge system.
In all cases the application and the isolation of the power must be controlled by the MiniPurge
system using the Motor Interlock signal.
The electrical installation must conform to the local codes of practice.
No switches are permitted between the Power Switch and the MiniPurge system other than an
authorized Manual Override circuit.
7. Commissioning
Initial Commissioning.
The CLAPS Leakage Compensation Valve can be set finally only when the enclosure has
been installed in its permanent operating location.
Check that the system has been installed in accordance with Expo Instructions.
Disconnect the supply pipe from the inlet to the MiniPurge system and blow clean air through
it for at least 10 seconds per meter of length to remove any debris, oil and condensation.
Commissioning.
Proceed as follows:
Check all connections and RLV is fitted correctly with no obstructions to the purge exhaust.
Close the Purge Flow Restrictor valve.
Open external supply shutoff valve fully, where fitted.
Check that the internal logic pressure gauge reads 2.1 barg / 31 psig / 210 kPag.
Check that the pressure gauge on main air supply reads 5 barg / 75 psig / 500 kPa. Purging
flow will start.
Check the Pressure Relief Valve is correctly set by disconnection the Minimum Pressure
sensing Green pipe at the bulkhead fitting on the input to the MiniPurge, this will disable all
of the pressure sensors.
Connect a manometer to the bulkhead fitting, with a 4mm nylon tube, from where the Minimum
Pressure sensing Green pipe was removed.
Close the Purge Flow Restrictor valve and turn on the compressed air to the MiniPurge.
Then, very slowly, open the Purge Flow restrictor until the pressure Relief Valve opens and
check the opening pressure is within calibration. This test can be completed several times to
ML434 v12
Issued 31/8/10
Page 11 of 17
ensure compliance and repeatability. Go to Maintenance of the System if the Relief Valve
needs to be recalibrated.
Close the Purge Flow Restrictor and shut-off the external compressed air supply. Remove the
manometer and replace the Minimum Pressure sensing pipe in the bulkhead fitting.
The setting of the Purge Flow Rate. Turning on the compressed air to the MiniPurge and
gradually open the Purge Flow Restrictor valve until the Black / Yellow indicator changes to
Black / Yellow, typically motor internal pressure should be approximately 13 16 mbarg. The
Yellow indication confirms correct Purge Flow Rate.
At this time the "Pressurized" indicator should be Green and the "Purging" indicator should
be Yellow.
WARNING: When opening the Purge Flow Restrictor valve ensure the overpressure within the
motor does not exceed the pressure Relief Valve setting.
The purge timer will start as soon as the "Purging" indicator turns Yellow. Check that the time
delay between the indicator turning Yellow (Purging) and returning to Black is not less than
the minimum time required to purge the PE. Times in excess of the minimum are permitted
and a tolerance of +25% is normally acceptable. The purge time can only be extended,
beyond the standard 45 minutes, by adding an extra reservoir. See option list of extended
times available.
After the purge time has been completed, the Purging Valve will close and the air flow into the
enclosure will be controlled by the CLAPS LCV. The initial setting of 50% open may be too
high or too low. If the setting is too high this will be demonstrated by continual rising & falling of
the motor enclosure pressure, as the CLAPS LCV automatically shuts off and then reinstates
the flow. The CLAPS LCV should be adjusted to reduce the flow into the motor enclosure by
turning the adjuster screw anti-clockwise.
If the initial setting is too low the CLAPS LCV & CLAPS Sensor will already be working to
provide excessive flow into the motor thus leaving no scope for additional compensation during
normal motor running. To increase the flow into the motor enclosure, adjust the CLAPS LCV,
by turning the adjuster screw clockwise.
The setting of the CLAPS Sensor is factory calibrated to the normal working pressure
expected in the motor, typically 10 mbarg. The pressure in the Motor should be stabilized as
close as possible to this figure.
Additional Checks
After proving the system is working correctly it may be a requirement to check the calibration of
the Pressure Sensors within the MiniPurge Control Unit. To complete these tests use a
manometer and connect to the MiniPurge Control Unit Test Point (on the top of minimum
pressure sensor - remove the red plug and use 4mm OD nylon tube) during commissioning.
The calibration of the Pressure Sensors is set on a falling pressure.
Close the Purge Flow Restrictor valve and then gradually slowly open until above the minimum
Pressure Sensor setting, Alarm indicator turns from Red to Green. Gradually close the Purge
Flow Restrictor valve until the indicator turns back to Red and take a note of the reading.
Check this reading against the Test, Inspection and Setting Sheet. It should always be at or
above this setting.
The same tests can be preformed for the all the other Pressure Sensor incorporated within the
MiniPurge Control Unit.
Once all tests are completed reset the Purge Flow Restrictor valve and retest the MiniPurge
System.
Go to Maintenance of the System if the Pressure Sensor needs to be recalibrated.
Normal Operation
Turn the air supply valve On or Off to start or stop the system. After this, the Pressurizing and
Purging sequence is entirely automatic.

8. Maintenance of the System

The maintenance recommended for the system consists of the following, supplemented by any
additional requirements imposed by the local Code of Practice.
Expo recommends that the commissioning tests be repeated at every six to 24 months,
dependent on the environment. In addition the following checks are also recommended at that
time:
Check the RLV and any other Spark Arrestors. Remove any debris or corrosion, or replace
with a spare.
Check the condition of the air supply filter element. Clean or replace it as necessary.
At least every two years, the following additional checks are recommended:
Apparatus is suitable for the Hazardous Location
There are no unauthorized modifications
The source of air is uncontaminated
The interlocks and alarms function correctly
Approval labels are legible and undamaged
Adequate spares are carried
The action on pressure failure is correct
Recalibration of the Pressure Relief Valve (when necessary)
Before making any adjustment, make sure the pressure Relief Valve seat is free of contamination,
particles. To adjust the lift off pressure of the overpressure Relief Valve you will require an 8mm
spanner and a 2.5mm Allen Key. While holding the central Allen Screw in position loosen the
retaining nut. Adjust the Allen key clockwise to increase the lift off pressure, adjust Anti-clockwise
to reduce the lift off pressure. "The adjustment is very sensitive and it is recommended that one
half turn between tests should be adequate until you are familiar with the device". Retighten the
locking nut while holding the adjustment screw in position before each test.
The RLV is supplied with selectable orifice plates to set the flow rate. The orifice plate is fitted in
its place using two small M3 screws. It can be easily changed by removing the large cover plate
which includes the outlet valve assembly and screws.

Recalibration of the Pressure Sensors (when necessary)

The brass nozzle is sealed into position using Loctite
thread sealant. This may require heating slightly to soften
prior to making any adjustment to avoid damaging the soft
brass nozzle. The adjustment is very sensitive so only turn
the nozzle 1 or 2 mm until you have an idea of cause and

affect when calibrating. Clockwise reduces the pressure setting.
9. Fault Finding
If the system does not behave in the manner described above there is a fault. Some of the more
likely faults are dealt with below. If a cure cannot be effected by following the procedure shown
below, please call Expo (24 hour answering) or your supplier for further assistance.
The system has been designed for ease of fault finding and many of the components fitted are
plug-in or chassis mounted. Check components by substitution only after establishing that such
action is necessary. If the system is less than 12 months old, parts under warranty should be
returned to Expo for investigation, with a full report of the fault and the system Serial Number.
As with any pneumatic system the greatest enemies are water, oil and dirt in the air supply. For
this reason the air system must always incorporate a dust and water filter to provide air to
instrument quality. This will protect not only the purge system but also the equipment being
purged. The filtration must be provided by others. However, dirt can enter from other sources and
it is vital therefore that the procedures described in the "Installation" section are carried out before
using the system for the first time, or following any disconnection of the pipe-work. Failure to
perform this work may cause damage that will not be covered under warranty.
Before making the following checks verify that both the main air supply pressure to the MiniPurge
system & the regulated pressure to the logic are as specified on the system specification sheet.
Most reported faults are due to insufficient air supply being maintained throughout the duration of
a purge cycle.
System Purges Correctly but the Alarm Comes ON at the End of Purge Time and the
Purging Cycle is Repeated.
Cause 1:
The CLAPS Leakage Compensation Valve setting is too low and the PE is tripping out after
purging due to low pressure.
Try increasing the setting of the CLAPS Leakage Compensation Valve to raise the pressure in the
PE at the end of purging.
Cause 2: Enclosure fault?
Is the ACTUAL PE pressure below the setting of the Minimum Pressure Sensor? Check it with
a manometer.
Is there any debris on the face of the RLV disk, perhaps held there because of the magnet?
Has the PE door / covers been closed and all conduit / cable glands sealed?
Is the PE leaking too much?
Is the pressure sensing tube damaged and leaking?
Cause 3: System fault?
If checks above reveal that the PE is correct, the fault probably lies in the CU. The basic
operation of the Minimum Pressure Sensor can be checked by unscrewing the 60mm diameter
diaphragm housing and sealing the 12mm threaded hole in the top of the valve module. This can
be accomplished by using a rubber block or if necessary a clean finger. The valve should operate
and the indicator turns Green. If indicator turns Green it is likely that the pressure sensor
diaphragm needs re-calibrating or replacing.
Relief Valve Opens (Continuously or Intermittently)
ML434 v12
Issued 31/8/10
Page 14 of 17
Cause 1: The PE pressure is too high.

The CLAPS Leakage Compensation Valve is too far open. Adjust the CLAPS LCV.
Cause 2: Debris on the RLV disk allowing air to leak from the valve. Remove the RLV cover and
clean the valve disk.
"Purging" Indicator Will Not Turn Yellow During Purging
Cause 1: Insufficient Purging Flow due to inadequate air supply pressure. Check the air supply
pressure at the inlet to the CU when purging is taking place. Excessive pressure drop in the
supply pipe is a very common cause of this problem. The pipe bore must be at least the same
size of the CU inlet fitting.
Cause 2: Excessive PE leakage. Check around the PE when purging is taking place. Any
significant leakage must be cured. Has a Leakage Test been done? The total leakage at the
Purge Outlet Valve should not exceed 10% of the Purge Flow Sensor setting. Check for leakage
down the cables or conduit.
Cause 3: The tubing from the RLV Flow Sensing point to the Purge Flow Sensor is not air-tight
e.g. fitting nuts not tightened or tube damaged. Check and repair as necessary.
Cause 4: The Purge Flow Sensor is not operating correctly or out of calibration. The basic
operation of the Purge Flow Sensor can be checked by unscrewing the 60mm diameter
diaphragm housing and sealing the 12mm threaded hole in the top of the valve module. This can
be accomplished by using a rubber block or if necessary a clean finger. The valve should operate
and the indicator turns Yellow. If this is correct the sensor diaphragm needs re-calibrating or
replacing.
System Fails to Operate when the Motor Interlock Switch Closes after the Purge Time has
Elapsed?
Cause 1: Is power available? Is the power isolator closed? Are the fuses or circuit breaker OK?
Cause 2: System fault? Timer not timed out?
Has the "Purging" indicator been Yellow for the whole of the purge time?
Is the logic pressure gauge setting correct?
Check the small indicator (if fitted) on the timer valve. When the timer has timed out it should
return out when depressed.
The timer setting may be reduced for test purposes by pinching the pipe connected to the
reservoir. Use a small pipe clamp or smooth-jaw pliers. Do not puncture the pipe! The new
time will probably be less than 1 minute. Check the operation on the new purge time. If it works
OK. Remove the clamp and retest. If the system ceases to time out, there is an air leak in the
reservoir circuit. Use soapy water to detect the leak and then rectify it. (Call Expo Ltd. if in
doubt). Finally recheck the purge timer at its full setting.
