1: Introduction
Ventev’s Class 1 Div. II Enclosure has been designed to enable the deployment of
popular wireless access points, radio, and communications equipment, or Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT)/ Industry 4.0 devices in Zone 2 / Division 2 hazardous areas
(gas or dust).
The RF outputs of the enclosure are galvanically isolated to make them intrinsically
safe, allowing users to choose non-certified antennas for use with their wireless
hardware.
A range of wireless devices from multiple manufacturers, including Cisco, Meraki,
and Aruba, have been assessed by our engineers, following the guidelines of our
Notified Body, as suitable for use in the Ventev Class 1 Div. II Enclosure System and
complying with all regulations.
With IP66 / Type 4 (NEMA standards) ingress protection and a Marine grade copper-
free aluminium alloy, e-coat with epoxy powder coated enclosure, the Ventev Class
1 Div. II Enclosure System is suitable for a wide variety of industrial and off-shore
locations including chemical and pharmaceutical plants, oil refineries, FPSOs, and
oil and gas platforms.

Warning!
Maintenance and inspection of the Ventev Class 1 Div. II Enclosure System must be
performed in accordance with IEC 60079-17.
Although antennas connected to the Intrinsically Safe RF outputs of the Ventev Class
1 Div. II Enclosure System may be installed in a hazardous area requiring Category 1
equipment, the Ventev Class 1 Div. II Enclosure System enclosure must NOT be installed
in these environments.
Important!
There should be no need to enter the unit and change the fuse as it is resettable.
The Ventev Class 1 Div. II Enclosure System may be powered from several different
power sources, depending on its configuration. Refer to the rating plate of the unit
supplied for details.
Before setting the units to work, read the technical documentation carefully.
The latest version of the technical documentation or the corresponding technical
supplements is valid in each case.
Do not exceed the power supply parameters specified on the Ventev Class 1 Div. II
Enclosure System external rating plate.
Ensure that only the correct fiber transceiver format/power is connected to the Ventev
Class 1 Div. II Enclosure System. Damage to the Ventev Class 1 Div. II Enclosure System
fiber interface or customer equipment may occur if the wrong format/excessive optical
power is used.
Ensure that NO TOOLS come in contact with the gasket of the enclosure, as this may
cause irreparable damage and render the unit unsafe.

OpeningandClosingthe Enclosure
Opening the front cover plate
The front cover plate is shown in Figure 2.
• Remove all bolts using a metric hex key. Store the bolts carefully to avoid damage or loss.
•
Ensure care is taken when removing the cover. Do not use a screwdriver or any other sharp implement to prise
the cover apart as it may damage the sealing gasket.
Closing the Enclosure
• Inspect the gasket to ensure its sealing integrity. If the front cover gasket is damaged, it must be replaced.
• Check all bolts are the correct type and free from damage.
• Re-insert the bolts and hand-tighten them only.
•
Using a torque wrench fitted with a 3mm hex head, tighten the bolts in opposite corners of the enclosure, then
work clockwise around the front cover. Tighten to a torque of 3.5Nm.

External OvercurrentProtection
The Enclosure should be installed on a circuit with a double-pole circuit breaker of a maximum rating of 25A. This
is the maximum current rating of the smallest internal chassis earth bond in accordance with EN60950-1 2.6.3.3.
Data Connections
Copper Ethernet
If Copper Ethernet is specified, this will be terminated in a standard CAT5E RJ45 Socket on the front plate of the
Enclosure, Position D in Figure 6. Typically, the interface will be an IEEE 10/100/1000BaseT format, but this is dependent
on the access point installed.
Terminate the RJ45 plug as shown in Figure 7 (EIA 568B standard).
Figure 7: RJ45 CAT5E EIA 568B Plug Wiring
Power-Over-Ethernet (POE)
If POE is used, the format will depend on the access point installed in the Enclosure. Ensure that
the correct Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is used. Connect the RJ45 cable per Section 3.10.1.
Optical Fiber
The Enclosure optical fiber format may be any shown in Table 4, refer to product option code #5
for details. Other optical formats are available on request.
Important!
Check that the line speed of the switch port to which the Enclosure is connected matches
the Enclosure port configuration, otherwise communication may not be established.

IntrinsicallySafeRFOutputs
Refer to Figure 8 for the location of Intrinsically Safe RF outputs.
Example of RF threshold power calculation
The following example shows how the RF threshold power may be calculated:
Maximum transmitter output power (from transmitter datasheet) = 20dBm (100mW)
Coaxial cable loss = 2dB Antenna gain = 5dBi
Threshold power = 20dBm – 2dB + 5dBi
Threshold power = 23dBm (200mW)
