Ex / ATEX & IECEx
Working safely in a hazardous area demands more than selecting certified equipment off a catalogue. It requires a precise understanding of zone classification, gas groups, temperature classes, and the correct protection concept for every single application and getting it wrong is not simply a compliance failure. It is a life-safety risk.
ConnectSys Automation is a specialist ATEX and IECEx contractor based in Abu Dhabi, supplying and installing certified explosion-proof and intrinsically safe equipment for Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 classified environments across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the wider GCC. Our product range covers every recognised protection concept under IEC 60079 Ex d flameproof, Ex e increased safety, Ex i intrinsic safety, Ex p purge and pressurisation, and Ex n non-sparking.

Application & Solutions
Our explosion-proof products are deployed across some of the most demanding hazardous environments in the energy sector. On offshore oil and gas platforms and FPSO vessels, we supply and install Ex d flameproof motor control centres, local control stations, junction boxes, and LED lighting for pump rooms, wellhead decks, and process areas classified Zone 1. On onshore oil fields, refineries, and gas processing plants, our Ex e marshalling cabinets, Ex i instrument loops, and Ex p purged PLC panels form the electrical and instrumentation backbone of the facility. In petrochemical plants and chemical storage terminals, our Ex cable glands, barrier seals, and conduit systems ensure flame path integrity at every cable entry point.
For field personnel operating in Zone 0 and Zone 1 environments — on oil fields across Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE — we supply intrinsically safe mobile phones, smartphones, and handheld scanners that allow safe communication and data capture without hot work permits. For remote field installations requiring off-grid power, our ATEX-certified solar power systems provide continuous, maintenance-free instrument supply in classified locations where grid power is unavailable.
In tank farms and loading terminals, Ex lighting floodlights, Ex alarm and beacon systems, and explosion-proof CCTV cameras deliver the operational visibility and safety signalling required by HSE regulations without introducing ignition sources into the classified area.
What distinguishes ConnectSys is the engineering capability delivered alongside every product including hazardous area classification studies, Explosion Protection Documents (EPD), Descriptive System Documents (DSD), and CompEx-certified inspections — ensuring every installation is fully documented and audit-ready for ADNOC, DNV, and international regulatory requirements.
