II 2 D Ex tb IIIC T85°C Db -40°C ≤ Tamb ≤ +60°C
II 2 G Ex db op pr IIB T5 Gb -40°C ≤ Tamb ≤ +75°C
II 2 D Ex tb IIIC T100°C Db -40°C ≤ Tamb ≤ +75°C
This product is designed for use with flammable gases and vapours covered by apparatus groups IIA, IIB and IIC with
temperature classes T1 to T6 (environmental temperature up to 60°C), with flammable gases and vapours covered by
apparatus groups IIA and IIB with temperature classes T1 to T5 (environmental temperature up to 75°C) and with
flammable dust covered by apparatus groups IIIA, IIIB and IIIC with temperature T=85°C. The surface temperature class of
the device was determined only with ambient air temperature, without taking into consideration direct sunlight. The IP
rating of the unit is IP66/IP67.
This product must only be installed by suitably trained personnel in accordance with the relevant code of practice (e.g.

Fasteners used for the assembly shall be M5-08x12 grade A4-70.
WARNING: Hazardous moving parts: the device is remotely controlled and may change position at any time.
When installing, choose a place where moving parts could not hit anyone or any object, creating hazardous situations.
h
All the electrical connections should be realized in a non-explosive atmosphere.
Earth ground attachment point is a stud M4-0.7 x16 A4-70 ISO 4762 with dual nut and dual serrated washer. During installation it
is important to connect it to an appropriate grounding location using a (minimum) 10 AWG copper stranded wire.
Before performing any operation, turn off the power. The installation of the unit can be performed only by qualified personnel in
accordance with the relevant code of practice (e.g. EN60079-14) and with all the relevant local and national standards including
but not limited to the use of special pipes, tapes, sealants, cables and glands.
Video and data cables should not share the same conduit with supply voltage cables. Whenever EMC is an issue, adequately
shielded cables must be used.
When leaving the unit unused for long periods, disconnect supply cables.
For security reasons, do not install the unit in the proximity of water containers and never push objects or pour liquids into the
unit. The unit can be safely used in damp environments or outdoors, as long as the connectors are properly sealed.
The internal transformer of the unit should never be used to power external devices.
b
No ventilation is needed for the unit, as it is completely sealed.
When a fibre optical cable is used on the equipment it shall be suitably protected against mechanical damage external to the
equipment (wire armoured cable, fitted in conduit, within a cable tray etc.).
The camera must be installed so that the risk of impact with the glass window is low.
