 ATEX directive 94/9/EG – specific regulations for safe
operation
Relevant for RSPE devices when operating in explosive gas atmospheres
according to ATEX Directive 94/9 EC, the following applies:
 List of standards:
EN 60079-0:2012, A11:2013
EN 60079-15:2010
Certificate No.: DEKRA 15ATEX0016X
 Use only device variants featuring supply voltage with the
characteristic value CC.
 Make sure that the device has the following label:
II 3G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc DEKRA 15ATEX0016X
for RSPE types
Ambient rating and temperature code for RSPE types:
T4: 0 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +60 °C for “S” types or
T4: −40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +70 °C for “T” or “E” types
 The modules shall be installed in a suitable enclosure in accordance
with EN 60079-15 providing a degree of protection of at least IP54
according to EN 60529, taking into account the environmental
conditions under which the equipment will be used.
 When the temperature under rated conditions exceeds 70 °C at the
cable or conduit entry point, or 80 °C at the branching point of the
conductors, the temperature specification of the selected cable and
cable entries shall be in compliance with the actual measured
temperature values.
 Provisions shall be made to prevent the rated voltage from being
exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 119 V.
 Connectors shall be connected or disconnected exclusively in dead-
voltage state.
The USB port shall remain disconnected.
