Instructions specific to hazardous area installations
(Reference European ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, Annex II, 1.0.6)
The following instructions apply to equipment covered by certificate numbers Sira 
09ATEX9356X and Sira 09ATEX4357X:
1) For use and assembly and details of marking/coding, refer to the main instructions.
2) The equipment is certified for use as Category 1D, 1/2D and 2D equipment per 
certificate Sira 09ATEX9356X and may be used in hazardous zones 20, 21 and 22. The 
equipment is also certified for use as Category 3G equipment per certificate Sira 
09ATEX4357X and may be used in hazardous zone 2. 
3) This equipment has a maximum surface temperature of 139 °C (in an 80 °C ambient). 
Refer to the applicable code of practice for selection of this equipment with respect 
to specific dust ignition temperatures.
4) The equipment is certified for use in an ambient temperature range of –40 °C to 
80 °C.
5) The equipment has not been assessed as a safety related device (as referred to by 
Directive 94/9/EC Annex II, clause 1.5).
6) Installation and inspection of this equipment shall be carried out by suitably trained 
and authorized personnel in accordance with the applicable code of practice.
7) The equipment shall be installed such that the supply cable is protected from 
mechanical damage. The cable shall not be subjected to tension or torque. The 
equipment manufacturer is not responsible for providing the supply cable. 
8) Repair of this equipment shall be carried out by suitably trained and authorized 
personnel in accordance with the applicable code of practice.
Special Conditions for Safe Use 
The ‘X’ suffix to the certificate number relates to the following special condition(s) for 
safe use:
• Parts of the enclosure may be non-conducting and may generate an ignition-
capable level of electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions. The user 
should ensure that the equipment is not installed in a location where it may be 
subjected to external conditions (such as high-pressure steam), which might cause 
a build-up of electrostatic charge on non-conducting surfaces.
•  The end user must ensure that an ingress protection of at least IP65 is maintained 
at each entry to the enclosure by use of a blanking element or cable entry device 
that meets the requirements of the protection concepts type ‘n’ or increased safety 
‘e’ or flameproof ‘d’.
•  The supply to the equipment shall be rated for a prospective short-circuit current of 
not more than 10 kA and shall be protected by a suitably-rated fuse
Note: Installation shall be performed only by qualified personnel and in accordance 
with local governing regulations.
