Modern wireless communication systems are becoming increasingly important in the process industries, enabling numerous applications that significantly enhance efficiency, transparency, and operational safety.

Thanks to the restricted breathing "nR" type of protection, devices without explosion protection (e.g. WLAN Access Points) can be made suitable for use in hazardous areas Zone 2.

Simple handling in operation, a high level of protection and flexibility are just some of the benefits of intrinsic safety. By following a few basic rules, you can make getting started with this degree of protection even easier.

Greater need for documentation, smaller workforce: Digital tools can help to meet these, but only with the right overall concept.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about the ignition protection type intrinsic safety.

Avoid the most typical mistakes when proving intrinsic safety.

Proving intrinsic safety is not an easy task. We've listed five helpful tips that will give you an overview of the work involved. 

The build-up of electrostatic effects in hazardous areas can become a major hazard, even when only low amounts of energy are involved. For this reason, electrostatic discharge is a potential source of ignition and must be considered and assessed.
