SERIOUS, EVEN FATAL, DAMAGE OR INJURY MAY BE CAUSED BY THE 
HOT MOVING PARTS OF THE P1V-S MOTORS IN THE PRESENCE OF 
EXPLOSIVE GAS MIXTURES AND CONCENTRATIONS OF DUST.
All installation, connection, commissioning, servicing and 
repair work on P1V-S motors must be carried out by qualified 
personnel taking account of the following
•  These instructions
•  Notices on the motor
•  All other planning documents, commissioning instructions and 
connection diagrams associated with the application.
•  Provisions and requirements specific to the application
•  Applicable national/international regulations (explosion protection, 
safety and accident prevention)
Real Life Applications
P1V-S motors are designed to provide rotary movement in 
industrial applications, and should only be used in accordance 
with the instructions in the technical specifications in the 
catalog, and within the operating range indicated on the motor 
housing. The motors meet the applicable standards and 
requirements of the Machinery Directive 
94/9/EC (ATEX)
The Motors Must Not Be Used As Brakes In  
Explosive Atmospheres. 
Braking involves driving the motor against the direction of 
rotation for which the motor is supplied with compressed air. 
The motor is then operating as a compressor, and there is a 
corresponding increase in temperature. 
The motors must not be used underground in mines 
susceptible to firedamp and/or combustible dust. The motors 
are intended for use in areas in which explosive atmospheres 
caused by gases, vapors or mists of combustible liquids, or 
air/dust mixtures may be expected to occur during normal use 
(infrequently)  
Checklist 
Before using the motors in a potentially explosive atmosphere, 
you should check the following:
Do the motor specifications match the classification of the area 
of use in accordance with Directive 94/9/EG  
(previously ATEX 100a)
•  Equipment group
•  Equipment category
•  Zone
•  Temperature class
•  Max. surface temperature
1.  When installing the motor, is it certain that there is no potentially 
explosive atmosphere, oil, acids, gases, vapors or radiation?
2.  Is the ambient temperature as specified in the technical data in 
the catalog at all times?
3.  Is it certain that the P1V-S motor is adequately ventilated and that 
no additional heat is added (for example in the shaft connection)?
4.  Are all the driven mechanical components ATEX certified?
Additional Safety Instructions For Installation In Explosive Atmospheres
Installation Requirements In Potentially Explosive 
Atmospheres
•  The temperature of the supply air must not exceed the ambient 
temperature.
•  The P1V-S may be installed in any position.
•  An air treatment unit must be attached to the inlet of the P1V-S air 
motor.
•  In a potentially explosive atmosphere, none of the motor 
ports may be blocked because this may cause an increase in 
temperature. The air from the port must be taken to the silencer 
or, preferably, outside the potentially explosive area.
•  The P1V-S motor must be connected to ground at all times, 
through its support, a metallic tube or separate conductor.
•  The outlet of the P1V-S motor must not open within a potentially 
explosive area, but must be passed to the silencer or, preferably, 
removed and released outside the potentially explosive area.
•  The P1V-S motor may only drive units that are ATEX certified.
•  Ensure that the motor is not exposed to forces greater than those 
permitted in accordance with the catalog.
Measuring The Temperature On The Outside Of 
The P1V-S Motor (Only When Used In Potentially 
Explosive Areas)
During the commissioning process, it is essential to measure 
temperature increases at the indicated positions on the 
outside of the P1V-S motor.
These measurements can be taken using standard 
thermometers. 
Checking The Motor During Operation
The motor must be kept clean on the outside, and a layer of 
dirt thicker than 5 mm must never be allowed to form.
Strong solvents should not be used for cleaning, because they 
can cause the seal (material NBR/FPM) around the drive shaft 
to swell, potentially increasing the temperature.
