operation
In Ex zone 2, only devices with a corresponding label may be operated.
When operating the BAT-F types with characteristic value G for
Approvals 1 (ATEX zone 2), the following applies:
Never use the supply voltage with characteristic value K (60 V DC ...
250 V DC / 110 V AC ... 230 V AC, 50 Hz ... 60 Hz) in Ex zone 2.

40 °F ... +158 °F (40 °C ... +70 °C) for temperature range
characteristic value T and E
+32 °F ... +140 °F (0 °C ... +60 °C) for temperature range
characteristic value S
DO NOT OPEN THE DEVICE WHEN IT IS ELECTRICALLY CHARGED.
THE USB CONNECTOR MUST NOT BE USED WHEN THE DEVICE IS
OPERATED IN EXPLOSIVE HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS.
Special conditions for safe use
For supply voltage with characteristic value C (24 V DC ... 48 V DC)
and W (24 V DC):
Provisions shall be made to prevent the rated voltage from being
exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 119 V.
When the temperature under rated conditions exceeds 158 °F (70 °C)
at the cable or conduit entry point, or 176 °F (80 °C) at the branching
point of the conductors, take care that the temperature specification of
the selected cable is in compliance with the actual measured
temperature values.
Install the modules in a suitable enclosure in accordance with
EN 60079-15 providing a degree of protection of at least IP54
according to EN 60529, taking into account the environmental
conditions under which the equipment will be used.
Relevant for use in explosion hazard areas (Hazardous
Locations, Class I, Division 2):
In Ex zone 2, only the devices with a corresponding label may be
operated in explosion hazard areas Class I, Division 2.
