Function

The EPV-6000 vent exhausts excess pressure from the enclosure and measures flow and pressure during operation. The 6000 series vent has a pressure transducer and thermal flow sensor that is connected to the 6000 EPCU. It is intrinsically safe through the galvanic isolation barrier within the 6000 EPCU.

Because measurement of the flow is always at the exhaust of the pressurized enclosure, the vent is located on the enclosure(s) such that it is venting to the atmosphere.The EPV-6000 vent can be mounted vertically or horizontally and is not gravity dependent.

The EPV-6000 vent can be mounted externall or internally to the enclosure. When mounting internally, only the vent cap is exposed to the outside atmosphere.
