Ecom devices listed here
The Smart-Ex 03 is a 5G smartphone and the Tab-Ex 03 is a tablet. The letters DZ1 in both names mark the version certified for Zone 1/21 areas. The manufacturer’s current tablet listing features the Tab-Ex 05, so we confirm which tablet generation can be ordered.
Where Ecom mobile devices are used
Refineries, gas plants, chemical sites, tank farms and offshore platforms issue these devices to operators and maintenance crews. The deciding factor is always the area classification. A device must carry a certificate that covers the zone, gas or dust group and temperature class of the place where it will be used.
Ecom Instruments products we list
Ordering Ecom devices: what we need
State the exact model and version (for example Smart-Ex 03 DZ1), the hazardous area classification, the certification scheme your site accepts, the regional network variant, and accessories such as chargers and spare batteries. Accessories for Ex devices are certified items too, so list them by part number where you can.

FAQ
Questions about Ecom Instruments
Common questions about Ecom Instruments equipment, part numbers and supply to Oman and the GCC.
01What does DZ1 mean in an Ecom model name?
It identifies the version of the device for Zone 1/21 hazardous areas, as shown in the titles of the Smart-Ex 03 DZ1 and Tab-Ex 03 DZ1. The Smart-Ex 03 is also offered as DZ2, the version for Zone 2/22. Always quote the full name including these letters, because versions that look the same are certified differently.
02How do I check that an Ecom device suits my hazardous area?
Compare the Ex marking on the device certificate with your area classification: zone, gas or dust group, and temperature class. Also check that the certification scheme, such as ATEX or IECEx, is the one your site accepts. On request we obtain the manufacturer's certificate for the exact model so your safety department can review it before purchase.
03Can I use ordinary chargers, cases or batteries with an Ecom Ex device?
Use only accessories the manufacturer lists for that model. With intrinsically safe devices the battery, case and anything connected to the device are part of the certified system, and charging is normally done outside the hazardous area. Send the device model and we will request the matching accessory part numbers.
04Does the Smart-Ex 03 work on mobile networks in the Gulf?
The Smart-Ex 03 is a 5G smartphone, and phones of this kind are produced in regional variants with different band support. Tell us the country and the operator you use. We ask for the variant intended for that region and send the manufacturer's band list for you to confirm with your operator.
05Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of Ecom Instruments?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier and is not a distributor or agent of Ecom Instruments. We source Ecom intrinsically safe mobile devices through commercial channels, check the model or order code against the manufacturer's documentation before ordering, and provide the manufacturer's datasheet and the certificates the manufacturer issues with the order on request.
