FAQ

Common questions

Is the BARTEC ET60/65EX2 Windows certified for Zone 1?

No. It is certified for Zone 2/22 only, so it can be used in Zone 2 but not in Zone 1.

Can the BARTEC ET60/65EX2 Windows 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 BARTEC ET60/65EX2 Windows use?

It is intrinsically safe: intrinsic safety (Ex ic) with inherently safe optical radiation (op is). 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 BARTEC ET60/65EX2 Windows?

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 BARTEC ET60/65EX2 Windows in a hazardous area?

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

Which ports and accessories can be used with the BARTEC ET60/65EX2 Windows in the hazardous area?

Ports (USB-A, Thunderbolt/USB-C, dock, keyboard connector) only if the atmosphere is shown to be absent; the supplied screws locking the I/O ports and the battery must be tightened when used in hazardous areas; charging accessories are required but not included.

What operating system does the BARTEC ET60/65EX2 Windows run?

Windows 11 Professional. Windows 11 has no fixed end date: Microsoft supports each version for about two years, so it keeps getting security updates while it's kept on a current version.

How much does the BARTEC ET60/65EX2 Windows cost?

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

Notes on unconfirmed values

  1. Approximate: the maker doesn't publish a launch date. Based on the certificate date or the maker's announcement.
