About Explosion Proof
What is explosion-proof equipment?
a system for testing compliance with explosion-proof equipment standards, in 1996. In hazardous locations, explosion-proof equipment that complies with the standard must be used.
In atmospheres where flammable or pyrophoric gases may be present, explosion-proof equipment should be used.
*1 International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the organization for the preparation
and publication of international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies.
There are 89 member countries worldwide (as of October 2020).

What are hazardous areas?
Hazardous areas are classified into 3 zones based on the explosion risk by IEC60079.
| Zone0: | An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods. (Above the liquid level of combustible gas, etc.) |
| Zone1: | An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur occasionally in normal operation. (Gas and steam discharge areas and near injection openings) |
| Zone2: | An area which becomes hazardous in case of an accident or some unusual operating condition and is close to Zone1. |
MONITOUCH V9 Series: Non-incendive (Type n) Model *2
Line-up
MONITOUCH V9 series (non-incendive model) is complied with the IECEx international standard, Taiwan TS Mark, and Korea KCs certification *3.
| *2 | Install in an explosion-proof certified enclosure with appropriate explosion-proof construction, such as Ex ec IIC Gc, Ex eb IIC Gc, and Ex nA IIC Gc. |
| *3 | Each country may have its own certification system (explosion-proof, EMC, etc.). Please check the certification system of each country before using the product. |
