Wolverine 200-Series Gets Class 1, Division 2 Approval


Three models in the popular Wolverine Ethernet Extender series from Westermo have been enhanced with the Class 1, Division 2 approval. This allows the Wolverine series to be installed in hazardous or potentially explosive environments containing volatile, flammable vapours and gases.

Class 1 Division 2 is a location in which volatile flammable liquids and gases are handled but where they are confined, so that ignitable concentrations of these substances are not likely to exist under normal operating conditions. It is difficult to obtain Class 1, Division 2 status, and the units has gone through extensive testing
by a third party test house where the Wolverine series was found to meet the US hazardous area classification requirements.

The approval enables the units to be deployed in a wider range of applications and environments found in such industries as oil and gas, petrochemical, processing, metalworking and various other industries that operate in harsh environments.

The Wolverine have also been ATEX approved according to II 3G EEx nA IIT5 which is the european equivalent to Class 1, Div 2. This means that the DDW's are approved for applications in explosive environments in practically the whole world.
