the device is rated for the second most hazardous areas. “G” designates
atmosphere, in this case gas, vapors and mist.
EEx Explosion protection based on European Ex-regulations.
ia The type of protection from explosion, in this case the energy in a device or
connector has been reduced to a safe value.

You need to meet
tough maintenance
and calibration tasks
in potentially explo-
sive and hazardous
areas. That means

accurate and intrinsi-
cally safe tools.
The complete line of
Fluke tools includes
the NEW 87V Ex
True-RMS Multimeter
and the NEW
Fluke 68IS Infrared

more about why
intrinsic safety is
important, how Fluke
Intrinsically Safe tools
can be used in your
work and whether
you need intrinsically
safe tools in your job.

Making sense of the
product rating systems
Each approved intrinsically safe device is rated to ATEX
and either NEC or Factory Mutual (FM) Standards. The
corresponding rating system allows you to understand
which zones, type of protection, gas groups and tem-
perature classes the instrument is approved for.
