ATEX Hazardous Area Control Stations Zone 2 – Technor

Product Overview

Combustible and potentially explosive atmospheres include gases, mists, vapours and dusts – an explosive atmosphere can be created by the presence of flammable substances mixed with air, this is designated as a Zone 2 hazardous area.

Zone 2 Control Stations

Technor hazardous area control stations are ATEX certified (Group II) for safe use in Zone 2 potentially explosive atmospheres. Control stations can incorporate single or double push buttons, emergency push button and emergency stop start options – hazardous area “stop starts” are manufactured from GRP, Copper free aluminium or Stainless Steel and are designed to offer a flexible, light weight and cost effective solution tailor made upon customer request.

Zone 2 Hazardous area

Explosive gas atmosphere not likely to occur in normal operation but may be present for short periods

ATEX hazardous area zones for Gas

Potentially explosive gas atmospheres are categorised into 3 hazardous area zones, based upon the grade of explosion risk according to EN60079-10-2:2009.

Zone 0 Hazardous Area

A place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is present continuously or for long periods of time.

Zone 1 Hazardous Area

A place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is likely to occur in normal operation occasionally.

Zone 2 Hazardous Area

A place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur, persists for a short period only.
