ARMADEX Ex UniCase ATEX / IECEx Universal Tablet Enclosure

Able Instruments are the Official UK and Ireland Distributor for the Ex UniCase universal ATEX / IECEx tablet enclosure platform. The Armadex Ex UniCase is a certified tablet enclosure designed for use in hazardous areas classified as ATEX Zone 2 (gas) and Zone 22 (dust). It provides a safe and compliant way to deploy modern consumer tablets in explosive environments, without the limitations of traditional device-specific explosion proof housings.

Conventional ATEX tablets and iPad cases are typically built around a single hardware model. When that model is discontinued or replaced, the entire certified unit must be scrapped and repurchased, resulting in unnecessary cost, downtime, and repeated certification cycles. The UniCase addresses this problem by separating the certified enclosure from the tablet itself.

Universal ATEX tablet enclosures: a more sustainable approach to Zone 2/22 deployments?

At the core of the system is a universal, impact-resistant enclosure combined with a modular, device-specific inlay. This allows organisations to upgrade or replace their tablet hardware without changing the certified housing. Only the internal inlay is exchanged, meaning new tablet generations can be deployed without waiting for recertification.
