5 Description
With a view to the selection of materials, the EX fans full the requirements of Standard DIN EN 14986 (Construction of
fans for use in explosion-capable areas) as a result of specic protective measures in the area of possible contact sur-
faces between rotating and stationary components (rotor/admission nozzle)

Device category/
classication
„2G“ 2 Category 2 / zone 1 / high safety Devices of this category are inten-
ded for use in areas in which it can be expected that an explosion-
capable atmosphere of gases, vapours, mists occasionally occurs.
„3G“ 3 Category 3 / zone 2 / normal safety / Devices of this category are
intended for use in areas in which it cannot be expected that an
explosion-capable atmosphere occurs as a result of gases, vapours,
mists, but if it does occur, then in all probability only rarely and for a
short period of time.
