5.1.2 Explosion protection marking
The user/machine end-user has to classify potentially explosive atmospheres
accordingto EUDirective1999/92/EC into zones. In the following table,
thecorresponding zones for device groups and categories are shown.
The valve may only be used in the areas and zones which correspond to the device
group and category. During use, also observe the additional information on explosion
protection in "Datasheet29583-XH".

Area of application, properties (excerpt from the directives) Usable in zone
accordingto
1999/92/EC
I M1 Firedamp areas (=device groupI), i.e. underground parts of mines and their
overground systems. In case of an explosive atmosphere, further operation is
possible.
Very high safety level.

I M2 Firedamp areas (=device groupI), i.e. underground parts of mines and their
overground systems. In case of an explosive atmosphere, it must be possible to
deactivate the device.
High safety level.
-
II 1G Potentially explosive atmospheres in which explosive gases, mists or vapors
(=device groupII) occur permanently or for a long time or frequently.
Corresponds to zone 0 accordingto Directive1999/92/EC.
Very high safety level.
0, 1, 2
II 2G Potentially explosive atmospheres where explosive gases, mists or vapors
(=devicegroupII) are occasionally present.
Corresponds to zone 1 accordingto Directive1999/92/EC.
High safety level.
1, 2
II 3G Potentially explosive atmospheres in which explosive gases, mists or vapors
(=device groupII) do not normally occur or only rarely or for a short time.
Corresponds to zone 2 accordingto Directive1999/92/EC.
Normal safety level.
2
II 1D Potentially explosive atmospheres where explosive dust/air mixtures
(=devicegroupII) are continually, long-term or often present.
Corresponds to zone 20 accordingto Directive1999/92/EC.
Very high safety level.
20, 21, 22
II 2D Potentially explosive atmospheres where explosive dust/air mixtures
(=devicegroupII) are occasionally present.
Corresponds to zone 21 accordingto Directive1999/92/EC.
High safety level.
21, 22
II 3D Potentially explosive atmospheres where an explosive atmosphere due to stirred
dust (=device groupII) is normally not present or occurs only rarely or short-time.
Corresponds to zone 22 accordingto Directive1999/92/EC.
Normal safety level.
