They are designed and manufactured to protect against other hazards as de ned in
paragraph 1.2.7 of Annex II of the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
They are intended for indoor use within Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) Systems utilising suitable Safety
Barriers.
Special conditions for safe use (denoted by X after the certi cate number)
The enclosure is non-conducting and may generate an ignition-capable level of
electrostatic charges under certain extreme conditions. The user should ensure that the
equipment is not installed in a location where it may be subjected to external conditions
(such as high-pressure steam) which might cause a build-up of electrostatic charges on
non-conducting surfaces. Additionally, cleaning of the equipment should be done only
with a damp cloth.
The equipment may be used in an ambient temperature range of -10°C to +55°C.
These call points must not be modi ed in any way as doing so may invalidate the
Certi cation and may compromise the safety of the product.
