  • Page 7: Section 2: Atex Instructions For Use In (Potential) Explosive Areas

    (Potential) Explosive Areas Intended Use The Hytork XL series pneumatic actuators are a Group II category 2 equipment and intended for use in areas in which explosive atmospheres caused by mixtures of air and gases, vapours, mists or by air/dusts are likely to occur. Therefore, it may be used in (ATEX) classified Zones 1, 2 (Gases) and/or 21, 22 (Dust).
  • Page 8: Temperature Range For (Potential) Explosive Areas

    Section 2: ATEX Instructions in Explosive Areas Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual November 2022 MAC050515 EN Rev. 0 WARNING The actuator’s surface temperature is dependent upon process operating conditions. If the actuator's surface temperature exceeds the acceptable temperature for the hazardous area classification, it can catch fire or in worst case can explode causing personal injury and property damage.
