FAQ
Common questions
Is the Getac ZX10-EX G2 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 Getac ZX10-EX G2 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 Getac ZX10-EX G2 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 Getac ZX10-EX G2?
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 Getac ZX10-EX G2 in a hazardous area?
No. The certificate only allows charging outside the hazardous area.
Which ports and accessories can be used with the Getac ZX10-EX G2 in the hazardous area?
All connection interfaces (USB, Thunderbolt, DC-in, docking connector, LAN, serial) must never be used in hazardous areas (certificate condition). Optional internal modules named in the certificate are covered as part of the certified tablet. USB-C, USB 2.0 host, microSD and SIM slot are barred from hazardous areas.
What operating system does the Getac ZX10-EX G2 run?
Android 15. Security updates are expected until at least December 2029.
How much does the Getac ZX10-EX G2 cost?
Prices for certified hazardous-area tablets depend on volume, configuration and region, so they are on request. Contact us for a price.
