Is the ecom Tab-Ex 04 Pro DZ2 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 ecom Tab-Ex 04 Pro DZ2 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 ecom Tab-Ex 04 Pro DZ2 use?

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

What does T5 mean for the ecom Tab-Ex 04 Pro DZ2?

Its surface stays below 100 °C, so it is suitable for gases that only ignite above that temperature. Check the ignition temperature of the substances on your site.

What operating system does the ecom Tab-Ex 04 Pro DZ2 run?

Android 15. Security updates until Q3 2027.

Is the ecom Tab-Ex 04 Pro DZ2 still available?
