Certificate ATEX II 1G Ex ia IIC T6 and II 1D Ex iaD 20 T85°C
ZELM certificate number ZELM 06 ATEX 0302 X
The meaning of ATEX code is as follows:
II : Group for surface areas (not mines)
1 : Category
G : Gas (dangerous media)
D : Dust (dangerous media)
T85°C: Maximum surface temperature of the t ransmitter enclosure with Ta
(ambient temperature) +75°C for Dust (not Gas) with a dust la yer up to 5
mm. For application with dust la yer between 5 and 50 mm, ma ximum
surface temperature must be consider according to IEC 61241-14 chapter
6.3.3.3.
Note: the nu mber close to the C E marking of the transmitter safety label identifies
the Notified Body which has responsibility for the surveillance of the production
The other marking refers to the
standards:
Ex ia : Intrinsic safety, protection level "a"
Ex iaD 20 : Construction with inside intrinsic safety electronics suitable for Dust-
Zone20
IIC : Gas group
T6 : Temperature class of the transmitter ( which corresponds to 85 °C
max) with a Ta (ambient temperature) +40°C
About the applications, this transmitter can be used in "Zone 0" (Gas) and "Zone 20"
(Dust) classified areas (continuous hazard) as it is shown on the picture on the right.
Certificate ATEX II 1/2 G Ex ia IIC T6 and II 1/2D Ex iaD 21 T85°C
ZELM certificate number ZELM 06 ATEX 0302 X
Note: this ATEX Category depe nds on the application (see below ) and also on the
intrinsic safety level of the tran smitter supply ( associated apparatus) which ca n
sometimes suitably be [ib] instead of [ia]. As it is well known, the level of an intr insic
safety system is determined by the lowest leve l of the various apparatus used, i.e.,
in the case of [ib] supply, the system takes over this level of protection.
The meaning of ATEX code is as follows:
II : Group for surface areas (not mines)
1/2 : Category - It m eans that onl y a part of the tr ansmitter complies w ith
category 1 and a second part complies with category 2 (see picture on the
right)
G : Gas (dangerous media)
D : Dust (dangerous media)
T85°C: Maximum surface temperature of the transmitt er enclosure with Ta

mm. For application with dust la yer between 5 and 50 mm, ma ximum
surface temperature must be consider according to IEC 61241-14 chapter

Zone21
IIC : Gas group
T6 : Temperature class of the transmitter ( which corresponds to 85 °C
max) with a Ta (ambient temperature) +40°C
About the applications, this transmitter c an be used in Zone "0 " (Gas) classified
areas (continuous hazard) with its "process part" only, whereas the remaining part
of the transmitter, i.e. its enclosure, can be used in Zone 1 (Gas), only (see pictures
on the right). Reason of this is th e process part of the t ransmitter (normally called
primary transducer) that provides inside separation elements
electrical sensor from the
EN50284 and EN50018. About Dust application, the transmitter is suitable for "Zone
21" according to the EN 50281 as it is shown on the relevant part of the pictures on
the right.
