ATEX RFID Scanners

An ATEX barcode scanner can be used in environments where a potentially explosive atmosphere can occur. Our ATEX barcode scanners and ATEX RFID scanners are available in different price ranges, but more important than the price is functionality and features of such robust barcode scanners. In order to know which model of robust barcode scanner you need during your work in an ATEX zone, it is very important to know in which ATEX zone the work and explosion hazard falls.

Which ATEX zone?

The first distinction you need to make is between a gas or dust environment. For gas environments you need an ATEX barcode scanner for zone 0, 1 or 2. For dust areas these are zones 20, 21 or 22.

When does which zone apply?  If a potentially explosive atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods of time (more than 10% of the operating or activity duration), this concerns zone 0 or 20. If the probability of a potentially explosive atmosphere being present in normal operation is high (between 0.1 and 10% of the operating or activity duration), this concerns zone 1 or 21. If the probability of a potentially explosive atmosphere being present is low and only for a short period of time (less than 0.1% of the operating or activity duration), this concerns zone 2 or 22.

Before placing an order, check carefully for which zone the barcode scanner should be suitable.
