14、sh Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1to 14, an inside back cover and a back cover.

15、 This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated.

NOTEThe marking of BS 5972 on an a

22、rticle implies that one or more representative products have complied with all the type test requirements of the relevant section of this standard. It does not necessarily mean that every article so marked has been individually tested in accordance with every requirement of the standard (see clause

23、6). 4.2 Unless otherwise specified in this standard PECU and sockets shall be tested in an ambient temperature of 25 5 C and at the rated voltage. The PECU and sockets shall be tested “as delivered” and as installed in normal use. Unless otherwise specified in this standard the tests are made on a s

24、ingle sample which shall withstand all the relevant tests. 5 Classification 5.1 Classification according to type of protection against electrical shock 5.1.1 Class I PECU or socket. A PECU or socket having at least functional insulation throughout and provided with an earth lead, an earthing termina

25、l or earthing contact, and, for PECU or sockets designed for connection by means of a flexible cable or cord, provided with either an appliance inlet with earthing contact, or a non-detachable flexible cable or cord with earthing conductor and a plug with an earthing contact. 5.1.2 Class II PECU or

26、socket. A PECU or socket with double insulation and/or reinforced insulation throughout and without provision for earthing. 5.2 Classification according to degree of protection against ingress of dust and moisture. PECU and sockets may be classified in accordance with the “IP number” system of class

27、ification as specified in BS 5490.BS5972:1980 2 BSI 06-1999 6 Marking 6.1 General. The following information shall distinctly and durably be marked on the PECU and socket, as appropriate, in a position where it can be seen during maintenance. In the list below, B indicates both shall be marked and P

28、 that only PECU are so marked. a) Mark of origin. (This may take the form of a trade mark, manufacturers identification mark, or the name of the responsible vendor.) (B) b) Manufacturers model number or type reference. (B) c) Rated supply voltage (in V). (B) d) Switched voltage rating if different f

29、rom above.(P) e) Rated current, i.e. 10 A. (B) f) Switch-on level (in lux). (P) g) Calendar and/or space for user to mark the year and month of installation. (P) In addition PECU or sockets complying with this specification may, at the manufacturers discretion, be marked with the number of this stan

30、dard (i.e.BS5972). NOTEMarking BS 5972 on or in relation to a product is a claim by the manufacturer that the product has been manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of such a claim is therefore solely the manufacturers responsibility. Enquiries as to the avai

31、lability of third party certification to support such claims should be addressed to the Director, British Standards Institution, Maylands Avenue, Hemel Hempstead, Herts HP2 4SQ in the case of certification marks administered by BSI or to the appropriate authority for other certification marks. 6.2 T

32、erminals. The terminals of a PECU or socket shall be marked to give a clear indication as to how they should be connected to ensure safe, satisfactory operation. Where terminals are marked with abbreviations the following symbols shall be used: 6.3 Test switch. Any test switch shall be clearly marke

33、d to indicate the switch position for automatic operation and for circuit testing. The following symbols shall be used: 6.4 Orientation. If the detector has to be mounted with particular orientation it shall be clearly and suitably marked. All sockets shall be marked with a direction arrow as specif

34、ied in clause 12. 6.5 Test for marking. The durability of the marking shall be checked by inspection and by trying to remove the marking by rubbing lightly for15 s with a piece of cloth soaked with water and for a further 15 s with a piece of cloth soaked with petroleum spirit. The marking shall be

35、legible after test. 6.6 Manufacturers instructions. The manufacturer shall supply instructions which shall include: a) a wiring diagram; b) instructions regarding any limitations of use (e.g. temperature) which are not marked on the control; c) instructions on orientation of the photoelectric sensor

36、s (where applicable). NOTEThe direction arrow on sockets for one-part control units described in 12.1 is provided for sensors designed to operate at a particular orientation, e.g. an arrow pointing to north (seealsoC.5). Section 2. Photoelectric control units 7 Construction 7.1 Mechanical strength.

37、Photoelectric control units shall be of adequate mechanical strength and so constructed as to withstand such handling and vibration as may be expected in normal use. Compliance shall be checked by the impact test described in 4.13 of BS 4533-101:1981. The test shall be applied using an impact energy

38、 of 0.50 Nm, with a spring compression of 20 mm. 7.2 Terminations. Terminals and supply connections shall comply with the requirements of section 14 or 15 of BS 4533-101.

39、BS 4533-101:1981. Terminals for supply connection to a two-part control shall allow the connection of conductors having nominal cross-sectional areas of 1.0 mm 2to2.5 mm 2in accordance with 5.2 of BS 4533-101:1981. The detector of a two-part control unit shall be provided with a cable or cord not le

40、ss than 500 mm in length. The insulation shall be capable of continuous usage at a temperature of 120 C. 7.3 Test switches. Any test switch incorporated in parallel with the PECU contacts shall have a current rating of at least 10 A. Line connection: L Neutral connection: N Load connection: Lo Cell

41、connection: C1 and C2 Switch position for testing circuit: Test Switching position for normal operation: AutoBS5972:1980 BSI 06-1999 3 7.4 Electrical contacts. The effectiveness of contacts and test switches shall each be checked separately by the following test. A test current of 11 A is passed bet

42、ween the contacts L and Lo. After a period of 4 h the voltage drop between L and Lo is measured and shall not exceed100 mV. NOTERequirements for solid-state switches are under consideration. 7.5 Resistance to the ingress of moisture. The enclosure of one-part controls, unless designed to be mounted

43、internally, and the detector of two-part controls shall be designed to be rain-proof. The body of a detector of a two-part control unit shall be designed to provide a rain-proof seal when inserted into a hole of 14 mm nominal diameter in the canopy of a lantern or other equipment. Compliance shall b

44、e checked by satisfying the appropriate test specified in clause 8 of BS 5490:1977 for protection IPX3. For the purpose of this test the control unit and its socket, if applicable, shall be mounted in accordance with the manufacturers installation instructions. The switching part of two-part control

46、blade connections on three-blade one-part control units shall be as detailed in Figure 1. Compliance shall be checked by inspection. 8 Insulation resistance and electric strength 8.1 Humidity test. A one-part control, mounted in a socket, or a detector of a two-part control mounted in a hole on a me

47、tal plate to simulate the lantern canopy, shall be placed in a humidity cabinet containing air with the relative humidity maintained at between 91% and 95%. The temperature (t) of the air, at all places where the control can be located, shall be maintained within 1 C of any convenient value between

48、20 C and 30 C. Before being placed in the humidity cabinet the control unit shall be brought to a temperature between t and (t + 4) C. NOTEIn most cases, the control unit may be brought to the specified temperature between t and (t + 4) C by keeping it in a room at this temperature for at least 4 h

49、before the humidity treatment. The control unit shall be kept in the cabinet for 48h. After this treatment there shall be no visible damage and the marking shall still be legible. 8.2 Test sequence. The insulation resistance and the electric strength of photoelectric control units shall be checked by the insulation resistance test specified in 8.3 and the electric strength test specified in 8.4, these tests being made immediately after the treatment specified in 8.1 in the humidity cabinet or in the room in which the samples were brought to the pre
