Class I, Division 2 Hazard zones


Non- Incendive, Class I, Division 2, Group A-D, T4 is The rating makes it an ideal solution in delivering safety, confidence and protection
a special certification that qualifies the Cat® S62 and to work crews for industries such as:
Cat® S22 Flip for use in hazardous work environments
• Petroleum refineries
where concentrations of flammable gasses or mists are
• Gasoline storage and dispensing areas
not normally present in an explosive concentration
• Dry cleaning plants where vapors from cleaning fluids can be present
(but may accidentally exist).
• Spray finishing areas
• Aircraft hangers
A Non-Incendive device reduces the chance of sparks
• Fuel servicing areas
in combustible environments. Certified to be used
• Utility gas plants and operations involving storage and handling of liquefied
in hazardous areas that are designated as Class I, Division 2.
petroleum gas or natural gas and pharmaceuticals

Built rugged
The Cat S62 and Cat S22 Flip are built with durability at their core, just like the Cat
equipment you see on construction sites, built to withstand drops, dust, vibrations and
even extreme temperatures. These phones won’t let you down.

Cat S62 CSA cert: 80085508 Cat S22 CSA cert: 80073028

If your employees or customers work around hazardous


materials, having the correct device is essential. Both the Cat
S62 and Cat S22 Flip are certified: Non-Incendive Class I Div2,
Group A-D, T4.
NON-INCENDIVE
NEC (National Electric Code) hazardous locations classes, divisions and groups

CLASS I LOCATION A Class I location is an area where there is danger of an explosion from flammable
gas, liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors. Examples of
Class I locations include petroleum refineries, gasoline storage and dispensing
areas, dry cleaning plants, spray finishing areas, aircraft fueling areas, utility gas
plants, natural gas operations, chemical processing plants.

DIVISION 1 Division 1 is a location where ignitable concentrations of hazards exist under normal
operating conditions. An example of a division 1 location is the fill opening for the
underground tanks at a gas station.

DIVISION 2 Division 2 is a location where ignitable concentrations of hazards exist under


abnormal operating conditions as the result of an unusual event or accident and
is not expected to occur frequently. The majority of hazard locations are classified
as Division 2. An example of a Division 2 location would be a storage room with
drums containing flammable liquids. The hazard would only exist if a drum were
to leak or rupture. Division 2 locations may also be adjacent to a Division 1 location.

CLASS I, DIVISION 2 LOCATION A Class I, Division 2 location is where the danger of fire or explosion from flammable
gases or vapors may exist accidentally (and infrequently) and is probably the most
common type of classified hazardous location. The Cat S62 and Cat S22 Flip can
be used in this type of classified hazardous location.

NON-INCENDIVE Non-Incendive, the hazardous locations protection type, means the device does not
produce arcs, sparks or get hot enough to ignite flammable gases or vapor. The Cat
S62 and Cat S22 Flip are approved for all gas groups defined for Class I:
- Group A: Acetylene
- Group B: Hydrogen, butadiene, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and acrolein
- Group C: Ethylene, cyclopropane and ethyl ether
- Group D: Propane, acetone, ammonia, benzene, butane, ethanol, gasoline, hexane,
methane, methanol, methane, naphtha, natural gas, and toluene

T4 T4 in the rating is the temperature class. T4 means that the hottest surface a gas
can contact is less than 275°F, as long as the phone is kept within operating range
of -13°F to 131°F.
FAQs
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Both Intrinsically Safe and Non-Incendive are a protection technique for safe
NON-INCENDIVE AND INTRINSICALLY SAFE? operation for electronic equipment in hazardous areas.

Intrinsically safe circuits and Non-Incendive circuits use the same basic
concept to minimize the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres. Both rely
on energy limitation with some important differences.

The main difference between the two is in which environment you can use
the equipment:

1. Intrinsically safe products of Division System are suitable for use in Class I,
Division 1 and Class I, Division 2 classified locations.

2. Non-Incendive products are suitable for use in Class I, Division 2 locations.


This equates to roughly 90% of hazardous environments in Division System
classified area.
