FAQ

Common questions

Yes. The Aegex 10 IS is certified for Zone 1/21 with the marking Ex ib IIC T4 Gb. Equipment certified for Zone 1 can also be used in Zone 2.

Can the Aegex 10 IS be used in Zone 0?

No. It is not certified for Zone 0. Zone 0 needs equipment with protection level Ga, such as Ex ia intrinsic safety.

What type of explosion protection does the Aegex 10 IS use?

It is intrinsically safe: intrinsic safety (Ex ib). Intrinsic safety limits the electrical and thermal energy in the device below the level that could ignite the surrounding atmosphere.

What does T4 mean for the Aegex 10 IS?

Its surface stays below 135 °C, so it is suitable for gases that only ignite above that temperature. Check the ignition temperature of the substances on your site.

Can you charge the Aegex 10 IS in a hazardous area?

No. The certificate only allows charging outside the hazardous area.

What operating system does the Aegex 10 IS run?

Not published. Security updates ended in October 2025.

Is the Aegex 10 IS still available?

No. Discontinued by Aegex; its IECEx certificate has been cancelled.

How much does the Aegex 10 IS cost?

Prices for certified hazardous-area tablets depend on volume, configuration and region, so they are on request. Contact us for a price.
