Applications

The MPC_M is used to provide very high quality compressed air.

There are many applications where compressed air of a particularly

high quality is required. Typical examples include air bearings on

machine tools, air gauging equipment, instrument air supplies, fluidic

systems, breathing air, pneumatic positioners, etc.

Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX95) Declaration

The MPC1M is intended for use in potentially explosive

environments as defined by Equipment Group II Category 2.

• We have determined the MPC1M is a 'simple' mechanical

product. It is therefore not covered by the scope of the

ATEX directive and consequently does not need to carry

any marking.

As part of our conformity assesment, an ignition hazard analysis

to EN 13463-1 was conducted with the following outcome:

• We have determined the MPC1M does not have its own

effective sources of ignition - even in the event of rare

failures.

Note: As defined by the European ATEX Standing

Committee..."Electrostatic charges caused by the flow-

through of a medium are not considered as "own" ignition

source in the sense of Directive 94/9/EC."

The MPC1M may be used in a potentially explosive

environment, as defined by Equipment Group II

Category 2, when used in accordance with its

Installation and Maintenance Instructions (IM-P504-08).
