Product Overview
The World's Most Compact ATEX Zone 2/22 Certified Rugged Tablet
The Durabook R8-EX is the ATEX-certified variant of the R8 — an 8-inch, 0.88 kg fully rugged tablet approved for deployment in Zone 2 and Zone 22 hazardous locations. Built on the same Intel® Core™ i5-1230U / Pentium® Gold 8500 platform with Coolfinity™ fanless design, MIL-STD-810H, and IP66 certifications, the R8-EX is the most compact ATEX-certified rugged tablet available anywhere. It delivers the complete data collection and enterprise computing capabilities of the R8 — including optional barcode reader, smart card, RFID/NFC, and RS-232 — in a form factor small enough to be carried throughout every working hour in oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining hazardous zones.
A+ Product Content
ATEX Zone 2/22 in the World's Most Compact Rugged Form
The R8-EX carries ATEX Zone 2/22 certification in an 8-inch, 0.88 kg body — making it the most compact ATEX-certified computing platform available. Zone 2 covers flammable gas and vapour environments; Zone 22 covers combustible dust zones. The R8-EX can be deployed continuously in oil refineries, LNG terminals, chemical plants, and mining operations where larger ATEX devices would be impractical for continuous carry.
Despite its compact form, the R8-EX retains full MIL-STD-810H certification, IP66 ingress protection, and 6-foot drop resistance — ensuring it performs equally well outside classified zones as within them.
Fanless Design is a Safety Requirement, Not a Feature
In Zone 2 and Zone 22 environments, fan motors are potential ignition sources. The R8-EX's Coolfinity™ fanless architecture eliminates all rotating components, removing any fan-related spark or ignition risk. Intel® Core™ i5-1230U performance is delivered entirely through passive thermal management with no compromises for the hazardous environment constraint.
The completely sealed chassis also prevents explosive dust ingress in Zone 22 environments — a critical safety requirement that cannot be satisfied by devices with fan intake vents.
Complete Data Collection Capabilities in Zone 2 Locations
The R8-EX retains the R8's full modular I/O expansion options: optional 1D/2D barcode reader, magnetic stripe reader, smart card/CAC reader with LF/HF-RFID (NFC) or UHF-RFID, and RS-232/RJ45/USB 3.2 Gen1 expansion. These options enable ATEX-zone workers to perform inspection scanning, asset tracking, access control, and equipment monitoring without leaving the classified area.
An optional 8.0 MP rear camera with flash provides visual documentation of equipment conditions, inspection findings, and maintenance records directly at the hazardous location — eliminating the need to carry a separate camera into Zone 2 areas.
Purpose-Built for Oil & Gas, Chemical & Mining Operations
The R8-EX is deployed by maintenance technicians, inspection engineers, and process operators in oil and gas upstream and midstream operations, chemical and petrochemical processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities under explosive classification, and underground and surface mining operations.
Intel® vPro™, TPM 2.0, stealth mode, night vision mode, and optional smart card/RFID security ensure classified data and network access remain protected, while the compact 8-inch form allows the R8-EX to be worn in a belt holster or vest pocket for hands-free mobility throughout a full ATEX-zone shift.
