ATEX directive 2014/34/EU – specific regulations for safe
operation
The following applies to RSPM devices if you operate them in areas with
explosive gases according to ATEX directive 2014/34/EU:
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 characteristic
value CC.
Make sure that the device has the following label:
II 3G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc DEKRA 15ATEX0016X
for RSPM types
Environmental class and temperature code for RSPM types:
T4: 0 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +60 °C for “S“ types or
T4: −40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +70 °C for “T“ or “E“ types
Ambient rating and temperature code for RSPM 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 IEC 60079-15 providing a degree of protection of at least IP54
according to IEC 60529, taking into account the environmental
conditions under which the equipment will be used.
When the temperature under rated conditions exceeds 158 °F (70 °C)
at the cable or conduit entry point, or 176 °F (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 must not be connected.
