ANNEX to IECEx BAS 08.0124U Issue No. 1 Date: 2010/11/24

The ZEZE Range of mild steel or stainless steel fabricated sheet metal empty enclosures with hinged covers is essentially rectangular in
form and has minimum thickness of 1.6mm for the body and lid.

The enclosures have the following overall dimensions:-

Enclosure Length (mm) Width (mm) Depth (mm)
ZEZE 22 220 315.9 180
ZEZE 42 420 315.9 180
ZEZE 62 620 315.9 180

Alternative sizes are permitted providing they are interpolated from within the existing size range, and that lid and gland plate fixing
centres are equal to or less than those given in the range shown above as specified on the certification drawings listed below.

The enclosure comprises a body with a back, base and minimal side walls to aid access to the inside of the enclosure and an upwardly
hinged lid providing the top, front and most of the side walls of the enclosure. Up to two internal props are provided to hold the lid in the
open position when work is being carried out inside the enclosure.

Up to 3 flat gland plates of thickness 2.5mm up to 8mm or 3 dished gland plates of minimum thickness 1.6mm may be bolted to the base
of the enclosure. Optionally the dished versions may be secured by lugs and bolts. The gland plates are secured to the body by either
bolts into sealed threaded inserts or nuts onto captive studs.

Holes may be provided in the gland plates, lid and body for the fitting of suitably certified glands or stopping plugs as specified below.
Cable entry hole configurations are specified on the assembly instructions.

The gland plates and cover are sealed to the body by means of 6mm thick white silicone rubber sponge gaskets and gaps on the sides of
the lid are sealed with silicone sealant by Hawke International ensuring an ingress protection of at least IP66.

When required for EMC purposes the exposed surfaces of the gaskets may be covered with self adhesive fine wire/braid m eshing. With
this arrangement the IP rating of the enclosure is reduced to IP65.

The lid is secured at the opposite side to the hinge by bolts into blind tapped bushings that are riveted or clinched into the body flange.
An optional padlock facility integral with the lid and welded to the body is provided. There is a minimum of four mounting feet welded to
the body.

Earthing is provided by an M10 or M14 stainless steel internal/external earth stud assembly located on the body in a position to suit
customer requirements. The earth studs may be replaced by M10 or M14 x 25mm stainless steel hexagon head set screws securely
welded flat to the m ating face of the enclosure. The earthing studs are fitted with stainless steel nuts, spring washers and copper shell
washers. Optional internal earth studs may be welded to one or more gland plates and/or the lid to suit customer applications.

The enclosures may be fitted with the following certified stopping plugs and breather drain devices:

Schedule of Limitations
1. The enclosures shall not be exposed to temperatures outside the range of -40°C to +75°C.
2. Unused entry holes shall be fitted with stopping plugs as specified in the description above. The operating temperature range
of the enclosure is limited to that of the stopping plug fitted.
3. Only breather/drain devices as specified in the description above may be used with these enclosures. The breather/drain
devices must be installed in their correct orientation in either the bottom face or bottom face gland plate of the enclosure. The
operating temperature range of the enclosure is limited to that of the breather/drain device fitted.

4. Unused entries may be fitted with alternative stopping plugs and or breather drains to those listed in the schedule. The user is
responsible for ensuring that the protection concept, temperature class and relevant IP rating are maintained.
