4.1 Safety regulations for Atex version
TBMex mixers are designed for places in which it is possible to have specific potential explosive
athmosphere: Cri-Man assumes no liability for installations or repairs performed by nonqualified personnel and without respecting standards regarding potentially explosive

potential explosive atmosphere.
− The classification of potentially explosive atmosphere zone gives the indication of characteristic
the equipment has to respect: verify, referring to the marking on mixer plate, directive and
harmonized standards, that the characteristics of explosion-proof mixer meet the requirement of
the classification. If not, do not install the machine.
− Install accessories in accordance with applicable standards (EN 60079-14).
− During installation and maintenance, check that the power supply is turned off and that it is not
