Information and standards
Type of protection EEx e and EEx d:
The overload protection and thermistor motor protection of the
SIMOCODE pro system meets the requirements for overload protection of
explosion proof motors for the following types of protection:
• EExd "explosion proof enclosure", e.g. according to DIN EN 50018 or
DIN EN 60079
• EExe "increased safety", e.g. according to DIN EN 50019 or
DIN EN 60079-7.
Increased danger in hazardous areas means it is necessary to carefully
observe the following notes and standards:
• IEC 60079-14/EN 60079-14/DIN VDE 0165 - 1 Electrical apparatus for
explosive gas atmospheres - Electrical installations in hazardous areas (other

presence of combustible dust - Inspection and maintenance of electrical
installations in hazardous areas (other than mines)
• VDE 0118 Erection of electrical installations in mines
• Betriebssicherheitsverordnung - BetrSichV (Ordinance on Industrial
Safety and Health).
All 3UF7 devices are approved under Device Group I, Category "M2" (mining)
