General Information
3) Non ATEX / IECEx Certified Variants of the AirChek 3000 Pump
The AirChek 3000 pump is also produced as a variant model which is certified for intrinsic safety for use in North

Europe where ATEX certification is mandatory.
Pump components vary between the North American / Canadian and ATEX / IECEx certified variants, therefore components
must not be interchanged between these pumps. If in any doubt please contact SKC Ltd customer services for advice.
