The MX15 detection central unit, designed for measurement of explosive gas, is compliant 

with the requirements of the ATEX 94/9/CE European Directive regarding explosive atmospheres. 
 

Thanks  to  its  metrological  performance,  the  MX15  central  unit  associated  with  the 

INDUSTRIAL  SCIENTIFIC  CEX300  and  OLC  10  detectors  is  a  safety  device  for  ATEX  Zone  2 
classified areas.  The central unit can also reduce the risk of explosion through information provided 
to external units. 
 

The  site  manager  where  the  equipment  is  installed  should  take  into  consideration  and 

comply  with  the  information  in  the  following  paragraphs.    Refer  to  the  provisions  of  the  ATEX 
1999/92/CE  European  Directive  regarding  the  enhancement  of  safety  and  health  of  the  workers 
exposed to risks of explosive atmospheres.

Installation  will  be  performed  in  accordance  with  existing  standards,  in  particular,  EN 

60079-14, EN 60079-17 standards. 

 
The  MX15  central  unit  should  not  be  exposed  to  mechanical  vibrations  and  should  be 

installed in a safe area, away from explosive atmospheres. 

 

It  is  essential  to  refer  to  the  operating  and  start-up  instructions  of  the  above-mentioned  gas 

detectors in paragraph ‘Detail specifications for use in explosive atmospheres in accordance with the 
ATEX 94/9/CE European Directive.’

The  central  unit  complies  with  the  metrological  European  standards  EN61779  and 

EN61779-4  for  methane  (calibration  gas),  butane,  propane  and  hydrogen  (gas  as  per  response 
curves), when the central unit is used with CEX300 and OLC 10 gas detectors.
