The supply module Ex i enables a scanner to be operated directly in the Ex-area and the data to be transferred to another Ex i PC/Host System in the Ex area.

The supply module Ex i has a connection compartment on the output side for mains connection in Ex e and data cable in Ex i version.


Important is:

  • For the mains connection an Ex e compliant cable installation and its connection.
  • For the data line in Ex i version, the Ex i values of both systems must be compatible to each other. The cable routing and connection must conform to the applicable installation guidelines for Ex i.
  • The Ex-relevant values of the supply module Ex i are listed in the certificate and in the BARTEC user manual chapter 4.4.2: Ex-relevant values.


Please read the BARTEC user manual for more information.
