2.7 General Information 
This special product is a transponder that is permitted to be carried into and used in 
areas subject to explosion hazards, called Zone 1. An area is denoted as Zone 
1 when atmospheres capable of exploding occur occasionally. It is crucial that you 
keep in mind the following issues: 
•  You are not permitted to open the housing. 
•  Unlike with the Transponder 3064, only SimonsVoss Technologies AG is 
permitted to change the battery.

BGR132 (German rules for occupational safety and health) when using the 
device in Zone 1. 
3.2 Standards 
The transponder has been tested according to the applicable explosion protection 
standards. Refer to: 
• Directive 94/9/EC 
•  DIN EN 50014 (Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmospheres) 
•  DIN EN 50020 (Intrinsic safety "i") 
3.3 Grouping 
The transponder is grouped in the following way: 
•  Explosion protection: zone 1 
• Intrinsic safety: ib 
•  Explosion group: IIC
