ATEX and Environmental Ratings

Standard marking: II 2 G D Ex db IIB T6 Gb / Ex tb IIIC T80°C Db for gas zones 1/2 and dust zones 21/22, LCIE 06 ATEX 6006 X. Battery backup versions: temperature range -10 to +40 °C. Standard multivoltage: -20 to +70 °C. 400 V version: T5 marking, max +54 °C.

Construction and Feedback

Aluminum enclosure, ingress protection IP68 5 m / 72 h. Features: manual override, visual position indicator, anti-condensation heater, mechanical end stops, software torque limiter (except 400 V), fault relay, RS485 (except 400 V).

Options

Available: BBPR (battery return), POSI (analog control), 3 positions, POSI-BBPR, Modbus-RTU, potentiometer feedback, and transmitter 0–20 mA / 4–20 mA / 0–10 V.

Applications

Used in chemical plants, petrochemicals, storage tanks, fuel gases, industrial gases, and auxiliary networks requiring Ex protection. Media compatibility is determined by the valve; actuator selection is based on torque, ATEX zone, voltage, 90° time, duty cycle, and required feedback.

FAQ

When to select VRX over VR?
When installation requires ATEX / IECEx protection.

What is checked during maintenance?
Ex cable glands, grounding, IP68 sealing, limit switches, end stops, fault relay, manual override, and correct torque matching to the valve.
