Important information: Equipment marking (ATEX)

Only valid for products with ATEX marking. If the ATEX marking is
shown on the rating plate of the respective product, VACUUBRAND
GMBH + CO KG assures, that the device complies with the provi-
sions of the directive 2014/34/EU. The applied harmonized stand-

VACUUBRAND equipment bearing the ATEX mark
(see rating plate)
The classification according to ATEX is only valid for the inner part (wet-
ted part, pumped gas or vapor) of the equipment. The equipment is not
suitable for use in external, potentially explosive atmospheres (environ-
ment).
The overall category of the equipment depends on the connected com-
ponents. If the connected components do not comply with the classifi-
cation of the VACUUBRAND equipment, the specified category of the
VACUUBRAND equipment is no longer valid.
Vacuum pumps and vacuum gauges in category 3 are intended for con-
nection to equipment in which during normal operation explosive atmo-
spheres caused by gases, vapors or mists normally don't occur; or, if they
do occur, are likely to do so only infrequently and for a short period only.
Equipment in this category ensures the requisite level of protection dur-
ing normal operation.
The use of gas ballast or the operation of venting valves is only permit-
ted if thereby explosive atmospheres normally don't occur in the interior
of the equipment or, if they do occur, are likely to do so only infrequently
and for a short period.
The pumps are marked with "X" (according to DIN EN ISO 80079-36:2016),
