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.

Ex d Flameproof Enclosures (EJB Series)

Zone 1/2, IIB+H2, IP66.
Available in aluminium and stainless.

Ex p Purge & Pressurisation Units

Allows standard equipment inside Zone 1 cabinets via continuous N₂ purge. Essential for VFD and PLC panels in hazardous areas.

Ex LED Lighting Fixtures

Zone 1/2 certified LED luminaires for process areas, pump rooms and offshore platforms.

Ex Solar Panels & Off-Grid Power Systems

ATEX-certified off-grid solar systems for remote RTUs and field instruments in Zone 1/2. Widely used in Iraq, Saudi, UAE, Nigeria’s desert fields.

Ex Alarms, Horns & Warning Beacons

ATEX certified audible alarms, visual beacons and combination signal towers for Zone 1/2 process and emergency alarms.

Ex e Increased Safety Junction Boxes

Terminal boxes and marshalling cabinets for Zone 1/2. Lighter and lower cost than Ex d

Ex Local Control Stations (LCS)

Flameproof pushbutton stations for motor start/stop, E-stop and selector functions. Standard requirement on every O&G project.

Ex Smartphones & Mobile Computers

Intrinsically safe Zone 0/1 smartphones (SP9EX1, Pixavi) and rugged mobile computers.

Ex Cable Glands & Accessories

ATEX/IECEx certified glands for armoured and unarmoured cables in Ex d and Ex e entries all sizes and MOC.

Ex Isolator Switches

Heavy-duty flameproof isolators up to 630A for Zone 1 motor feeders, pump skids, and compressor packages.

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.
