ATEX basics

Zones and marking in plain English

For your procurement records: which zone applies where, and what every character of the ATEX marking means.

Schema: Behälter mit Zone 0 im Inneren, Zone 1 um die Öffnung und Zone 2 im weiteren Umfeld Zone 0 im Behälter Zone 1 Zone 2
Schematic. The operator defines the zones in the explosion protection document.
  • Zone 0
    Continuously explosive

    An explosive atmosphere is present constantly, for long periods or frequently, for example inside vessels and tanks.

  • Zone 1
    Occasionally explosive

    An explosive atmosphere occurs occasionally in normal operation, for example around filling and discharge openings.

  • Zone 2
    Rare and short-lived

    In normal operation an explosive atmosphere normally does not occur or occurs only briefly.

What the rating plate says

II Group 1G Category Ex ia Protection type IIC Gas group T4 Temperature Ga Protection level

IIEquipment group II
For potentially explosive areas outside mining, such as chemical plants, refineries, tank farms or biogas plants.
1GCategory 1, gas
Very high level of protection for gases, vapors and mists. Approved for Zone 0 and therefore also for Zones 1 and 2.
Ex iaIntrinsic safety, level ia
Energy and temperature inside the device are limited so that no ignition-capable spark occurs, even with two simultaneous faults.
IICExplosion group IIC
The most demanding gas group, for example hydrogen and acetylene. Equipment that meets IIC also covers IIA and IIB.
T4Temperature class T4
The surface stays below 135 °C. Suitable for gases and vapors with an ignition temperature above 135 °C.
GaEquipment protection level Ga
Very high level of protection to IEC 60079, the counterpart of Category 1G and Zone 0.

Also for mining: Six of the seven lamps additionally carry I M1 Ex ia I Ma, the approval for parts of mines susceptible to firedamp.

The X at the end of the certificate number refers to special conditions for safe use, set out in the operating instructions of the respective lamp, for example on changing the batteries.

FAQs

ATEX lamp questions

Short answers. If your question isn't covered, call or write to us.

+49 1522 8790057sales@rescuevation.com

Which ATEX lamp do I need for Zone 0?

For Zone 0, the lamp needs equipment category 1G, or equipment protection level Ga. All lamps in this collection are intrinsically safe to Ex ia and designed for gas group IIC and temperature class T4. The full marking, including the certificate number, is listed for each lamp.

Can I also use a Zone 0 lamp in Zone 1 and Zone 2?

Yes. A Category 1G lamp is approved for Zone 0 and also covers Zone 1 and Zone 2. So you don't need a second set of equipment for the less critical areas.

What does II 1G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga mean?

II is the equipment group outside mining, and 1G stands for Category 1 for gas. Ex ia means intrinsic safety with a margin for two simultaneous faults. IIC is the most demanding gas group, which includes hydrogen and acetylene, T4 limits the surface to 135 °C, and Ga is the very high protection level that matches Zone 0.

Rechargeable battery or AA batteries: which suits my fire department?

The GUARDIAN XR and XW charge their Li-ion battery in 4 hours and show the charge level. They come with an AC and car charger, or as the lamp alone, which charges via an existing station. The SL112 searchlight comes with its own charging station.

The AG Ex, 02 HL, 03 HL and FOCUS run on four AA batteries, which are included. The operating instructions state which battery types are approved in the Ex area.

Which lamp shines the farthest?

The M-FIRE SL112 Ex searchlight, at 432 m. Among the angle-head lamps, the AG Ex reaches the farthest at 288 m, while the GUARDIAN XR and XW reach 205 m. The flashlights range between 116 and 160 m.

What is the difference between the GUARDIAN XR and XW?

Both have the same 240 lm spot with 205 m beam range, IP67 and a rechargeable battery. The XR adds a red signal light at a 45° angle, up to 80 h in flashing mode. The XW adds a white flood beam of 25 lm for orientation in corridors and shafts, up to 50 h as steady light.

How long is the warranty?

All M-FIRE lamps in this collection come with a 5-year warranty.

Can my fire department order on account?

Yes. Fire departments, emergency services and authorities order from us on account, and we issue XRechnung invoices. For several vehicles or an entire fire station, you get a quote with line items and delivery time.

How long does delivery take?

Usually 5-10 working days.

All ATEX lamps in the collection

More on ATEX lamps for fire departments

In potentially explosive atmospheres, the approval decides: where gases, vapors, or dusts can ignite, only certified lighting may be used.

This collection brings together ATEX lamps for Zone 0 from the Mactronic M-FIRE series: flashlights with adjustable focus, angle-head lamps for jacket mounting with red or white light, and a searchlight with a long beam range. That equips plant fire departments, hazmat units, and industrial facilities for operations in Ex areas.

Questions about the right approval for your area of operations? Talk to us.

Ex flashlight, angle-head lamp or searchlight

An Ex flashlight sits in a helmet mount or in your hand, and runs on AA batteries independently of any charging point. The ATEX angle-head lamp sits on the turnout jacket and keeps both hands free. The searchlight puts light out to 432 m when you need to search large areas.

What to look for when buying

The marking is what counts. For Zone 0, the lamp needs Category 1G and equipment protection level Ga. Explosion group IIC also covers hydrogen and acetylene, and temperature class T4 limits the surface to 135 °C. After that, the deciding factors are type, beam range, ingress protection and power supply.
