General Description
ATEX / IECEx Power Extension Cables, models ECX-110 & ECX-240, are designed to temporarily extend
the reach between an AC power source and an electrical device, such as portable fans, area lighting, etc.,
for use in hazardous locations.
The power cables are built with three critical parts; Cable, Plug, and Couplers. Cables were selected
based on the need for extra heavy-duty applications. Plugs and couplers were selected based on the
most used European connectors for hazardous locations.
The ATEX/IECEx ECX-110 & ECX-240 power extension cables are sold to our distributors & end users as
fully assembled, compliant power extension cables. No post assembly is required.
The drawing below depicts the ATEX / IECEx Power cable application, used to extend the reach of a
portable ATEX fan with H07RN-F cable and with three of the most popular brands of A.T.X, CEAG, and
R.Stahl, connectors.
The ATEX/IECEx Power Extension Cables are available for 110VAC Model ECX-110 or 240VAC Model ECX-
240 power requirements.

Special Conditions for Safe Use
The letter “X” at the end of the ATEX & IECEx certificate numbers indicates a special
condition for safe use, this special condition of safe use for the ATEX/IECEx power
extension cables states that the coupling socket devices must not be used in dust areas
where highly charged generating processes, machine friction and separation processes,
electron spraying (e.g. around electrostatic coating systems) and pneumatically conveyed
dust occurs. The flameproof joints are not intended to be repaired.

Installation Instruction and Care
The ECX-110 & ECX-240 power extension cables are fully assembled and ready for use upon receipt. No post assembly
required.
1. Completely uncoil power extension cable as to be used between AC power source and electrical device.
2. Inspect cable and connectors for damage or wear that could render the cable unsafe for hazardous locations.
3. Route cable to avoid contact with heavy machinery that could possibly damage cable or possible be a trip hazard
for workers. Cables must be integrated into a system in a way to support accessibility for regular maintenance.
4. Connect plug end of the power extension cable to the AC power source.
5. Verify AC power source is providing an electrical ground connection.
6. Verify electrical device is turned OFF before attaching power extension cable.
7. Connect coupler end of cable to the electrical device.
The power extensions shall be installed, so far as is practicable, in positions that will prevent them being exposed to
mechanical damage, to corrosion or chemical influences (for example solvents), to the effects of heat and to the effects
of UV radiation.
These are the minimum allowed bend radii for the cables. 1.5mm²: ≥4in, 2.5mm² ≥5.5in, 4.0mm² ≥6.2in.
The bend radius of the cable should start at least 25mm from the end of the cable.
Note: For ATX connectors lift dust covers and insert plug into coupler until coupler dust cap latches snaps into position
on plug. To break connection between coupler and plug lift dust cap to pull connectors apart.
Note: For CEAG connectors lift dust cover, insert plug into coupler, and rotate clockwise, to lock plug into coupler and
to close power switch within the coupler. To break connection between coupler and plug lift dust cap and rotate plug
counterclockwise to pull connectors apart.
Note: For R. STAHL connectors insert plug into coupler and rotate outer ring clockwise to secure plug to coupler.
