SAFETY APPROVALS FOR TP7-D AND TP9-A:
AEx ia IIB T4 Ga
Applicable Standards are:
IEC 60079-0:Ed 6, IEC 60079-11:Ed 6
EN 60079-0:2012 + A11 3013, EN60079-11:2012
INTRINSIC SAFETY
Intrinsically safe equipment is defined as "equipment and wiring which is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical
or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture
in its most easily ignited concentration." (ISA-RP12.6) This is achieved by limiting the amount of power available to
the electrical equipment in the hazardous area to a level below that which will ignite the gases.
In order to have a fire or explosion, fuel, oxygen and a source of ignition must be present. An intrinsically safe system
assumes the fuel and oxygen is present in the atmosphere, but the system is designed so the electrical energy or
thermal energy of a particular instrument loop can never be great enough to cause ignition.
BATTERIES
WARNING:

Batteries must be changed in Non-hazardous area.

Batteries must be of correct approved type.
