M101AD-EX Overview
Inspection and maintenance teams on sites with explosive atmospheres often have to leave ordinary tablets at the boundary, which means paper notes and double entry. The M101AD-EX is Winmate’s 10.1 inch ATEX Zone 2 rugged tablet, certified for ATEX and IECEx Zone 2 and Class I, Division 2, so the same device can be carried across zones. It is non-incendive Ex ic equipment, with an Intel Core i5-1235U and an IP65 enclosure.
The certification row lists IECEx Zone 2 Ex ic IIC T4 Gc, ATEX Zone 2 II 3G Ex ic IIC T4 Gc, Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 and KCs Ex ic IIC T4 Gc. The 12th Gen Core i5-1235U runs at up to 4.4 GHz with 8 GB memory as standard and 16 or 32 GB options, a 128 GB SSD with options up to 2 TB and a microSDXC slot. It runs Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC with TPM 2.0. The 10.1″ screen is 1920 x 1200 at 800 nits with optical bonding, anti-glare treatment and PCAP multi-touch.
Ports are a Gigabit LAN port, a USB 3.0 Type-A port and a USB 3.0 Type-C port with Power Delivery input and Alt Mode, plus a 19-pin docking connector. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS/GLONASS are standard, with optional 4G LTE or 5G, an optional 1D/2D barcode reader and optional HF RFID. A 2MP front and an 8MP autofocus rear camera are fitted. The M101AD is the 10.1 inch model for non-hazardous sites, and the M116AD has an 11.6 inch 850 nit screen.
The M101AD-EX is IP65 rated, fan cooled and operates from -10 °C to 50 °C, with drop tested from 4 ft and shock and vibration to MIL-STD-810H. Its hot-swappable battery is quoted at 8 hours, and an AC adapter, power cord and capacitive stylus are supplied, with desk and vehicle docks optional. We supply it configured, with the OS installed, and tested, and our team can check the zone markings against your site.
