The VCPI complies with Directive 2014/34/EU as a device of group II, category 2G and as device of group II, category 2D;
consequently, it is suited for installation in zones 1, 21, 2 and 22 as classified in Annex I of Directive 99/92/EC. The solenoid

and size of the hazardous zones, please refer to standard IEC EN 60079-10-1.
If installed and subject to maintenance in full compliance with all conditions and technical instructions provided in this manual, the
device does not pose a source of specific hazards: in particular, under conditions of normal operation, it is not expected for the
solenoid valve to emit a flammable substance into the atmosphere with methods such as to originate an explosive atmosphere.
During installation and maintenance, it is imperative to comply with the Ex standards. These operations must be carried out by
authorised personnel in accordance with relative national regulations.
Do not install the appliance in explosive atmospheres except for the specified gas and dust groups and areas (see the solenoid
