The highly sought-after iPad can now be harnessed to its maximum capabilities when encased in specialized protective covers, transforming it into a secure and certified tablet for safe use in Zone 1 and 2 environments. By encasing the iPad within these purpose-built covers, it becomes a suitable choice for deployment in Zone 1 or 2 hazardous locations.
iPad 5 mini cases design guarantees the safety of workers by effectively containing any potential electrical or thermal energy that could trigger a hazardous atmosphere’s ignition.
In this article, we will pay a close attention to the intrinsically safe iPad mini 5 cases. However we begin by exploring the different options you can choose from and later help you choose the best option.
Xciel iPad Mini 5 Case ATEX Zone 1
This case is one of the most popular cases for use in ATEX Zone 1 and rightly so. It’s design leaves less to be desired. Here are some of its outstanding features.
Non-Incendive and Intrinsically Safe
The case can withstand harsh conditions and prevent external factors from causing ignition. It provides a durable and rugged shield for the iPad Mini 5. This ensures that it can be safely used in potentially hazardous locations.
Rugged Core
Rated at IP54, the equipment is resilient to water splashes and foreign matter from any angle. While it isn’t entirely impervious to dust, the power plug boasts dust and waterproof capabilities.
Hazardous Specifications
Once an iPad mini has been fitted with this case, it will be compliant with the following hazard regulations:
- ATEX & IECEx Certified
- Group A B C D
- II2 G Ex db IIC T5 Gb
- Ta: -20 C to +45C
The above specifications indicate that a product or device has received certification from both ATEX and IECEx for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. It’s categorized for use in Group A, B, C, and D environments. It indicates its suitability for a wide range of hazardous substances and conditions.
The certification mark “II2 G Ex db IIC T5 Gb“ provides specific details:
II2 G: This designation implies that the device is designed for operation in Zone 2. In Zone 2 areas, the occurrence of an explosive atmosphere comprising hazardous substances uncommon during routine operations. However, if such an atmosphere does arise, it is expected to be of brief duration.
Ex db IIC: This signifies that the device is designed to prevent the ignition of explosive gases. “IIC” refers to the highest level of protection against gases, such as hydrogen or acetylene.
T5: The “T5” rating denotes the device’s maximum surface temperature. It indicates that it is safe for use in an environment where the temperature is controlled up to 45 degrees Celsius.
Gb: This designation means that the device is also suitable for use in Zone 2 locations. Zone 2 locations potentially explosive dust atmospheres might occur.
The temperature range specified as “Ta: -20°C to +45°C” indicates the operational temperature range of the device. The specification shows a minimum temperature of -20 degrees Celsius and a maximum temperature of +45 degrees Celsius. This range indicates the temperatures within which the device can safely operate in hazardous environments.
