explosive atmospheres (check if the "Ex" symbol is present on the device marking). Failure to comply
with the prescribed regulations can lead to serious risks to personal health and damage to property
near the equipment described in this manual.
The RN, RN T1, RN FR and RN FR T2 self-contained breathing apparatuses with the additional
available in the ATEX version for use in potentially explosive environments and are certified according to the
2014/34/EU Directive. They are non-electric devices that can be use in several types of explosive atmosphere as
specified in the applied marking:
II 1G Ex h IIC T6 Ga → non-electrical devices for use in the surface industry, where there is the possibility that
explosive atmospheres due to the presence of gas occur - Zone 0
II 1D Ex h IIIC T85°C Da → non-electrical devices for use in the surface industry, where there is the possibility that
explosive atmospheres due to the presence of dust occur - Zone 20
The ATEX self-contained breathing apparatuses have a label on the backplate (see example B - Atex label) containing
all the markings required by the 2014/34/EU Directive and technical standards of reference (EN ISO 60079-36, EN ISO
60079-37).

"X" This non-electric device is subject to special conditions for use: the effectiveness and reliability
of the device is guaranteed by following the instructions in the user manual.
WARNING
POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARDS –
All device components shall be cleaned only with wet cloths and antistatic products to not charge the
exposed surfaces. See par. 4.1 "Cleaning and disinfection").
Operators who use Atex SCBA are advised, at any stage of use, to wear antistatic clothing and use non-
sparking tools.
Atex breathing apparatus must be worn and removed in the absence of an explosive atmosphere.
