1. Introduction

1.3 Instructions for use as part of

an ATEX approved system

Gasmaster is approved according to the 94/9/EC

ATEX Directive when used as part of a system with

intrinsically safe gas detectors and I.S. barriers.
Gasmaster has been certified according to

EN60079- 25:2010 Explosive atmospheres -

Intrinsically safe electrical systems. Certificate

reference: Baseefa05Y0090/1 Gasmaster must

be installed in the safe area only, but is certified

for connection to Intrinsically Safe gas detectors

installed in Zone 0, 1 or 2 hazardous areas when

connected by a safety barrier. Installation must be

in accordance with the instructions shown below.
