INTRODUCTION

The DAT 420 gas detector is intended for monitoring industrial and commercial confined areas.
DAT 420 is suitable for use in hazardous areas of explosive atmospheres. It operates in associa-
tion with a compatible control unit or with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to provide early
warnings of gas hazard or oxygen deficiency. For further information about the detectable gases or
the list of compatible control units, please contact DALEMANS.

Certification

DALEMANS declares that the DAT 420 gas detector complies with the acceptable variations origi-
nating from the type that has received the EC-Type Examination Certificate number
FTZU 09 ATEX 0074. The measuring function, as defined under Annex II clause 1.5.5. of the
ATEX directive 2014/34/EU, is not matter of this certificate. The said equipment is suitable for use
in explosive atmospheres of hazardous areas, zone 1 and 2. Moreover, this equipment fulfils the
provisions of the following standards:
▪ EN 60079-0
▪ EN 60079-1
▪ EN 60079-31
The label below is affixed to the junction box of the detector. This marking applies to the detector
overall assembly. The marking label affixed to the sensing head applies only to the sensing head.
If missing, the detector is not certified for use in hazardous areas.
