•
The valve island must be used with plugs and cables, which have a conformity evaluation
according to Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX 95) Annex VIII as well as protection class IP65.
1. Recommendation: Use plugs or cables from Norgren, which are certified according to
Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX 95) Annex VIII.
Attention: D-Sub cable for Multipole valve islands, which conforms to all conditions of

Valve islands with Multipole and Fieldbus D-Sub connector:
The valve island must be used in a switch cabinet or protective box, which conforms at least
to the protection class IP54. (Attention: Profibus DP with D-Sub connector is not permissible
