The following applies when the product bears the Ex Marking.
This equipment is intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres as defined by European Union Directive 94/9/EC and
has been found to comply with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements relating to the design and construction of
Category 3 equipment intended for use in Zone 2 potentially explosive atmospheres, given in Annex II to this Directive.
Compliance with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements has been assured by compliance with EN 60079-15 and EN
60079-0.
ATEX/IECEx Certification:
Certificate number: DEMKO 11 ATEX 7928686X
II 3G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc
Certificate number: IECEx UL 15.0032X
Ex nA IIC T4 Gc
The ambient temperature range is -25…+60 °C (-13…+140 °F) for all models.
Essential Health and Safety Requirements:
Met by compliance with the standards EN 60079-0: 2012 + A11:2013, EN 60079-15: 2010 and IEC 60079-0: Edition 6, IEC 60079-15:
Edition 4.
Special Conditions for Safe Use:
• All models: the ambient temperature range is -25 …+60 °C (-13…+140 °F)
• Subject devices are to be installed in an ATEX/IECEx Certified, IP54, tool accessible enclosure that has been evaluated to the
requirements of
EN 60079-0: 2012 + A11:2013, EN 60079-15: 2010 and IEC 60079-0: Edition 6, IEC 60079-15: Edition 4. Enclosure is to be marked
with the following: "Warning - Do not open when energized". After installation of subject devices into the enclosure, access to
termination compartments shall be dimensioned so that conductors can be readily connected. Grounding conductor should
have a minimum cross sectional area of 3.31 mm² (12 AWG).
• Subject devices are for use in an area of not more than pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC 60664-1.
• Subject devices are to use conductors with a minimum conductor temperature rating of 85 °C (185 °F).
• Subject devices are to be installed in the vertical orientation only.
WARNING:
• This equipment shall be mounted in an ATEX-certified enclosure with a minimum ingress protection rating of at least
IP54
(as defined in IEC60529) and used in an environment of not more than Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 60664-1)
when applied in Zone 2 environments. The enclosure must have a tool-removable cover or door.
• This equipment shall be used within its specified ratings defined by Rockwell Automation.
• Provision shall be made to prevent the rated voltage from being exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 140%
of the rated voltage when applied in Zone 2 environments.
• This equipment must be used only with ATEX certified Rockwell Automation Termination Assemblies.
• Secure any external connections that mate to this equipment by using screws, sliding latches, threaded connectors, or
other means provided with this product.
• Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
• Enclosure must be marked with the following: ‘Warning - Do not open when energized.’ After installation of equipment
into the enclosure, access to termination compartments shall be dimensioned so that conductors can be readily
connected.
