13 DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT 

The XL/FXL/AL/SL/RX Ranges of Terminal Boxes and Control Boxes use an enclosure that is 

certified as an increased safety component under Certificate Number Sira 00ATEX3027U. These 

enclosures can be manufactured from either stainless steel, mild steel or aluminium sheet (the RX 

Terminal Boxes are only manufactured from stainless steel). Sealing between the lid/body and 

glandplate/body interfaces is achieved with a 5 mm one piece closed cell Neoprene or Silicone gasket. 

The enclosures may be used in an ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C when fitted with a 

Neoprene gasket or –50°C to +120°C when fitted with a Silicone gasket, however, there is the option 

to replace the main enclosure earth connection; this arrangement is limited to an ambient temperature 

range of -40°C to 120°C. 

The XL range of enclosures are provided with a hinged cover and are either designated XLM when 

manufactured from mild steel or XLS when manufactured from stainless steel. The larger sizes can be 

provided with gland plates. The use of a gasket on the lid and gland plates provides the size XL*1 to 

XL*10D enclosures with ingress protection ratings of IP66, IP67 and IP68. The XL*11 enclosures have 

an ingress protection rating of IP54 and are not be used for Terminal Boxes and Control Boxes 

intended for dust applications. The FXL enclosures are similar to the XL enclosures having a different 

sealing arrangement of the cover and the RX enclosures are also similar to the XL enclosures, although 

are only provided in stainless steel. 

The SL range of enclosures are provided with a bolt on cover and are designated either SLM when 

manufactured from mild steel or SLS when manufactured from stainless steel or AL when 

manufactured from aluminium. There is no provision for gland plates and the walls are provided with 

plain holes for cable entries. 

A variety of electrical devices are then fitted in these enclosures to form the XL/FXL/ SL/AL Ranges of 

Terminal Boxes and Control Boxes, these include: 

• Increased safety terminals selected in accordance with condition of certification clause 17.3 (the 

RX range of terminal boxes only uses increased safety terminals and is not fitted with any of the 

following items). 

• The ‘MFT’ type terminals manufactured by Pepperl+Fuchs and certified under PTB 07ATEX1004U. 

• Busbar certified to DEMKO 03 ATEX 136028 U. 

• Ammeter certified to Sira 02ATEX3380U. 

• Indicator Lamp certified to Sira 04ATEX5056U. 

• Contact Block certified to Sira 03ATEX1269U. 

• Control Components certified to PTB 97ATEX1068U. 

• Control Components certified to PTB 98ATEX1010U. 

• Temperature Transmitters certified to Baseefa08ATEX0030X. 

• Plugs/Sockets certified to LCIE 99 ATEX 6027 X. 



The dissipated power in Watts for the enclosure is to be calculated in accordance with 

EN 60079-7:2007, Annex E, the table below contains the maximum dissipated power ratings for each 

Terminal Box:

17 CONDITIONS OF CERTIFICATION 

17.1 The use of this certificate is subject to the Regulations Applicable to Holders of Sira Certificates. 

17.2 Holders of EC type-examination certificates are required to comply with the production control 

requirements defined in Article 8 of directive 94/9/EC. 

17.3 This certificate does not cover terminals that may be fitted to the enclosure. Any terminals that are 

fitted shall be suitably certified by a notified body and installed in accordance with their certification 

requirements. 

17.4 The products covered by this certificate incorporate previously certified devices, it is therefore the 

responsibility of the manufacturer to continually monitor the status of the certification associated with 

these devices, and the manufacturer shall inform Sira of any modifications of the devices that may 

impinge upon the explosion safety design of their products. In addition, when a previously certified 

device is fitted in a Junction Box/Control Box, the marking of the final product shall be determined 

taking into account the marking and any limiting special conditions for safe use associated with the 

previously certified device. The manufacturer shall also provide the user/installer with a copy of the 

EC-Type Examination Certificate that is associated with these products and the instructions supplied 

with the Junction Box/Control Box shall make reference to the special conditions for safe use and the 

electrical parameters that are defined in these certificates. 

17.5 When the Junction Box/Control Box is prewired, it shall be subjected to a routine electric strength test 

carried out as follows, no breakdown shall occur: 

An electrical strength test of 2U + 1000 V (where U is the supply voltage) with a minimum of 

1500 V ac, shall be applied between each terminal way and earth, and between adjacent terminal ways 

for at least 60 seconds and no more than 63 seconds as required by clause 7.1 (a) of EN 60079-7: 

2007. 

Alternatively, an electrical strength test of 1.2 x the above test voltage shall be applied as above, for at 

least 3 seconds and no more than 5 seconds as required by clause 7.1(b) of EN 60079-7: 2007. 

17.6 When a junction box is manufactured to an intermediate size that is not recognised as a standard size 

in the tables associated with this certification, then any given dimension shall not be larger than the 

respective dimension of the largest enclosure or smaller than the respective dimension of the smallest 

enclosure. The power rating applied to a junction box of intermediate size shall be that of the next 

smallest enclosure. 

17.7 Terminals for T5 temperature classifications shall be suitable for 120°C, terminals for T4 temperature 

classifications shall be suitable for 145°C, terminals for T3 temperature classifications shall be suitable 

for 180°C. 

17.8 When the optional main earth connection is used as per drawing number XL/NB/503, the first nut on 

the opposite side of the enclosure to the seal shall be tightened onto a clean dry surface to provide a 

good enclosure earth contact and an IP66/67 seal. 

17.9 The type XL*11, FXL*11, XL*11, FXL*11D, XL*11 and FXL*11S enclosures have been afforded an 

ingress protection level IP54 and therefore they shall not bear any dust markings, in addition, they 

shall not display a rating other than IP54.
