2. Safety

EU (ATEX)

As aluminium is used at the accessible
surface of this equipment, in the event
of rare incidents, ignition sources due to
impact and friction sparks could occur.
This shall be considered when the Ex-
trima
Hydrogen Leak Detector is used in
locations that specifically require group
II, category 1G equipment, i.e. Zone 0 or
Division 1 applications.

Examples of materials quoted as possibly
able to create sparks on impact with alu-
minium are concrete and rust.

Proper care must be taken to avoid impact
with aluminium surface when working
in Zone 0 areas where impact with such
materials can occur. Protecting the instru-
ment with a leather or antistatic synthetic
protection case is recommended.
