3.1 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:
• The user is not permitted to open the housing.
• Unlike the standard Transponder, only SimonsVoss Technologies AG is
permitted to change the battery.
• Normally, you must comply with the general operating instructions of the 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
• Temperature class: T3
• Device group: II2 G
This applies to areas in which a potentially explosive atmosphere can arise due to gases,
vapors or mists. The information quoted relates to an ambient temperature of from -4°F to
+104°F (-20°C to +40°C) where the transponder is used.
