Before beginning installation procedures, these

The pumps can be used in areas (zones) classified according to
the directive 1999/92/EC. In case of doubt, please consult the
above-mentioned directives or contact Grundfos.

NB, NBG, TP, TPD pumps
1) Important: The link between groups, categories and zones is
explained in 1999/92/EC. Please note that this is a minimum
directive. Some EU countries might therefore have stricter
local rules. The user or installer is always responsible for
checking that the group and category of the pump correspond
to the zone classification of the installation site.
2) Note: The risk assessment done by Grundfos on the NB,
NBG, TP, TPD pumps for category 3 G shows that the pump
can be upgraded to category 2 G by installing an ATEX-
approved dry-running protection.The dry-running protection
must stop the pump if the minimum flow rate cannot be main-
tained. Always check that the motor is marked for category 2
G. Make sure that the combination of "NB, NBG, TP, TPD" and
"dry-running protection" is described in the Explosion Protec-
tion Document according to the directive 1999/92/EC.
The responsibility rests with the installer/owner.
In case of doubt, please contact the local authorities.
