4. Zone and Product Classification according to ATEX
This product does not have any ignition source and is therefore not subject to ATEX-Directive
2014/34/EU. Operation in an ex-zone (e.g. zone 1) is therefore possible.
In accordance with legal requirements, the ATEX zone definition around the product and creation of
an explosion protection document comes under the responsibility of the "responsible person of the
company" where the product is placed as this classification is subject to the cleaning fluid used and
various conditions such as ventilation.
However, at this point the operator should be supported with general advice to comply with this ob-
ligation. Helpful advice can also be found in EN 12921‐1 and ‐3 and EN 13463-1.
If using the product with flammable fluids, the following zone designation can be applied:
Zone 1
→
The mixing and working area
Zone 2
→
Surroundings within 1.0 m
Mark the different zones with appropriate warning and prohibition signs. Markings on the floor can be
helpful. In the area surrounding the product, open flames and other ignition sources (e.g. welding or
grinding equipment) are not allowed. In addition, smoking is prohibited. Temporary work causing igni-
tion sources must be approved in writing and appropriate additional safety measures must be applied
(e.g. remove all combustible materials; firefighting equipment must be on hand in the working area.)
5. Requirements for the Installation Site
•Horizontal industrial floor with electrical resistance of max. 108Ohm.
•Dry and protected from frost.
•Very good technical room ventilation with 5-7 air changes per hour (Depending on local regu-
lations).
•Do not install or operate the product within a radius of 1.5 m from heat sources.
•Ensure an ambient temperature of 5 °C –40 °C and do not expose the product to direct sun-
light, as this carries a risk of overheating.

6. Transport and Installation
The product is delivered packed. Unpack the product outside an explosive atmosphere and bring it to
the installation site. Install the product as described in the following sections.
6.1. Assembling Painty-02/-03

Mixing- and preparation table Painty Page 8
6.2. Exhaust Ducting Painty-02/04
The exhaust air hose must be integrated in the exhaust system at the installation site and must be
routed outdoors properly into the so-called "free air space". Place the exhaust air hose vertically, a
minimum of one metre for optimal function of the exhaust system and stretch the hose as far as pos-
sible in order to avoid a reduced cross-section. In this way optimal exhaust suction will be achieved.
Ensure that fumes are not directed into areas where people are likely to be. The exhaust air has to be
led away safely. That means according to ATEX and especially not into flues serving furnaces or fire-
places and not into the exhaust ducts of spraying and drying cabinets. In case the exhaust system con-
ditions at the installation site require a longer exhaust air hose or the instructions in how to route the
exhaust air system cannot be complied with, please contact an ATEX-ventilation system specialist to
ensure safe operation.
It’s recommended not to connect the product directly to a rigid pipe. Use at least 30-40 cm of the
flexible B-TEC exhaust hose to ensure that the product can be relocated or repaired conveniently if
necessary.
Diameter of exhaust hose: Ø125 mm
The exhaust air flow rate can be adjusted at the flow adjuster as needed depending on the length
of the duct.
Caution! Only use original B-TEC exhaust air
hoses! Risk of fire! Do not use plastic hoses!
