FAQs:

Can I charge this tablet inside a Zone 1 hazardous area?
No. Charging must strictly be carried out in a designated non-hazardous (safe) area using the certified charging kit via the sealed USB-C interface.

Does this unit support cellular 5G networks in the field?
Yes, the tablet is equipped with integrated Sub-6 GHz 5G cellular capability configured via eSIM alongside Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax).

What makes this Apple iPad safe for Zone 1 and Zone 21 use?
The OEM tablet is integrated into an industrial flameproof enclosure (Ex db) that prevents any internal spark or explosion from igniting surrounding gases (Group IIC, T6), with complete dust ignition protection (Ex tc IIIC T85°C).

Can biometric security be used when wearing PPE?
The top power button integrates Apple's Touch ID biometric fingerprint sensor for quick login; PIN and passcode authentication are also available when heavy protective gloves prevent fingerprint reading.
