Intrinsically Safe (IS) Products
ATEX 94/9/EC
and IECEx
Installation Guide
General
All Apollo IS devices are intended for use in hazardous area systems complying with the
European ATEX directive 94/9/EC that deals with products used in hazardous areas. All such
systems must incorporate a certi
fi
ed safety barrier or interface to limit the voltage and power
to the circuit. Information on suitable barriers and interfaces can be obtained from Apollo.
These notes are intended to supplement the mandatory requirements of the ATEX directive or
other applicable regulations They should not be taken as full instructions for the design and
installation of intrinsically safe systems. These activities must be carried out only by quali
fi
ed
personnel.
Certifi cation
The XP95 IS range of detectors and manual call points (MCPs) and the Orbis IS range of
detectors are BASEEFA certi
fi
ed as components. Their component certi
fi
cation allows them to
be used in certi
fi
ed intrinsically safe systems.
Each product range is covered by a system certi
fi
cate issued by BASEEFA in Apollo’s name.
Systems installed according to Apollo system drawings will be covered by the system
certi
fi
cation. The use of barriers, interfaces, or other components not included in the system
drawing will invalidate the certi
fi
cation.
The system certi
fi
cate number must be marked on the installed system, preferably on the
barrier or interface housing. The system is certi
fi
ed to ATEX only.
