4.1.4  Mounting the F30 in Zone 2 
(EC Directive 94/9/EC, ATEX) 
The controller is suitable for mounting in zone 2.  Refer to the corresponding declaration of 
conformity available on the HIMA website. 
When mounting the device, observe the special conditions specified in the following section. 
Specific Conditions X 
1.  Mount the HIMatrix F30 controller in an enclosure that meets the EN 60079-15 requirements 
and achieves a type of protection of at least IP54, in accordance with EN 60529. Provide the 
enclosure with the following label: 
 
Work is only permitted in the de-energized state 
 
Exception: 
If a potentially explosive atmosphere has been precluded, work can also performed when the 
controller is under voltage. 
2.  The enclosure in use must be able to safely dissipate the generated heat. Depending on the 
output load and supply voltage, the HIMatrix F30 has a power dissipation ranging between 
12 W and 33 W. 
3.  Protect the HIMatrix F30 with a 10 A time-lag fuse. 
The 24 VDC power must come from a power supply unit with safe isolation. Use power 
supply units of type PELV or SELV only.
