Explosion protection as per ATEX 95
The water extraction units of the FluidAqua Mobile FAM-ATEX series satisfy
all the requirements of the new EU directive 94/9/EC, ATEX 95 applicable to
areas in which potentially explosive gas mixtures are likely to occur.
The designation of the explosion-proof ATEX-compliant unit is:
II 2G IIB3 T4 (+10°C<Ta<40°C)
This means that the FAM may be used only in accordance with:
