Explosion protection
When using ADICOS detectors in potentially explosive atmospheres, follow the
specifications of the ATEX operating directive.
2.1 Intended Use
ADICOS AAB-X22/-X2 are junction boxes for the electrical connection of ADICOS detectors
with the fire alarm cable of ADICOS systems in potentially explosive areas of ATEX zone 22
and 2.
They additionally enable feeding-in an external voltage supply using the ADICOS power sup-
ply NT V40-A3. In this context, the operating parameters described in Chap. 11, »Technical
data« must be met. Any use deviating from this in potentially explosive atmospheres is not
permitted. Compliance with this manual as well as all applicable country-specific provisions
is also part of the intended use.
2.2
Standards and Regulations
The current safety and accident prevention regulations relevant to the specific application
must be complied with when installing, starting up, servicing and inspecting the detector.
The following standards and directives are of particular importance when handling fire alarm
systems in potentially explosive areas.
