Hazardous Area Protection Concepts

ATEX Category 1 Category 2 Category 3
NEC 500
CENLEC NEC 505
ATEX Directives
Mandatory in Europe, 1 July 03
• Combine the CE mark, CENELEC approvals, and ISO 9000
Example: CE 0539 II 2 G and/or D
Also required CENELEC code: EEx ia IIC T4
• Zone 0 = Category 1

• Explosion Proof (Class I, Div 1 & 2)
- Contains ignition inside enclosure and conduit system
- Cool vented gasses to prevent ignition outside containment
Quartz with Aluminum Cover is suitable for
Explosion Proof Applications
• Nonincendive Devices (Class I, Div 2)

- Used as part of an explosion proof system in division 2
- Enclosures must be NEMA 4 or 4X with electrical apparatus with no arcs or
sparks (solid state) or hermetically sealed arcing contacts
Hawkeye, Eclipse ECN, Onyx and Quartz are suitable for

Nonincendive Applications

• Seal Off Requirements
- Used to prevent propagation of ignited gases into and out of enclosure
- Not required with Nonincendive Devices
- May be required with Explosion Proof Devices in Division 1
All Nonincendive Platforms eliminate seal offs. Quartz QZP

series also eliminates seal offs in division 1 areas!

• Intrinsically Safe (IS) Circuits (Class I Divisions 1 and 2)
- Prevent Ignition of gases
- No ignition under normal and abnormal conditions
- Limited energy input and energy storage
I/O - Over voltage and short circuit protected
Hazardous Area
Power Barrier
Supply
IS suitability is sensor/switch dependent - - Any Legacy platform is

suitable for IS applications with appropriate sensors.
Protection Compliance
• Manufacturers May Use Ratings on Labels Even Though Non Third
Party Approved
• Third Party Approval Agencies; Equipment must be Tested by Third
Party to NEC Standard to have Logo on Label:
- FM (Factory Mutual, US Market)
- UL (Underwriters Labs, US Market)
- ULc (UL for Canada & US Markets)
- CSA (Canadian Standards Association)
EEC Directives and EN Standards
-CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization)
Most Stonel products have FM and CSA approvals. See

Question: Is a switch a load?

What about our Maxx Guard, SST, or Dual Module?
Resistance A switch or
sensor by
itself is not a
Voltage Supply Load!
Basic Electricity
Load-A component that provides significant
resistance or inductance in an electrical circuit.
Loads:
1. Solenoids
2. Lights
3. Relays Coils
4. Computer Inputs
Is an LED a Load?
An LED is a Light Emitting Diode, an
electronic component, diode, that has
insignificant resistance in a circuit.

Basic Electricity
Computer Input & Output Cards:

Most have a 2K
to 12K ohm
resistor that is in
