LED torch PX3
ATEX torches
In potentially explosive areas appropriately protected lamps must be used in order not to trigger an explosion, for example, from the spark when turning on the lamp.
Therefore the ATEX directives define the following zones:
Zone 2: areas where there is rarely and briefly
a risk of explosion.
Zone 1: areas, in which there is occasionally a risk of
explosion.
Zone 0: areas, in which there is a constant or frequent risk
of explosion over a longer period.
On each torch there should be a code, which provides information about the application area:
II Devices in group II may not be used in mining.
1,2,3 Specifies the category, this corresponds to the zone +1.
G,D Suitable for gases/vapours (G) or dust (D).
Ex For use in potentially explosive areas.
ia,ib Protection class intrinsic safety.
IIx Gas group (IIA = propane, IIB = ethylene, IIC = acetylene/hydrogen).
IIIx Dust group (IIIA = combustible suspended matter, IIIB = no conductive dust, IIIA = conductive dust).
Tx Temperature class, specifies the maximum allowable surface temperature. (T6 = 85 °C, T5 = 100 °C, T4 = 135 °C, T3 = 200 °C, T2 = 300 °C, T1 = 450 °C)
