A thin-client terminal (1,1′) according to the invention serves for use in a potentially explosive area (ExB) and has at least the following components: an EDP device (11,11′), which can be programmed using software, has graphics capabilities, has its own storage and computation capacity, is connected, via at least one data transmission channel (K), to a computer (C)—which is not arranged in the potentially explosive area (ExB) and acts as a server—and is capable of communicating with the latter as a thin client in accordance with the client/server principle, and a display (12) which is connected to the EDP device (11, 11′) and is intended to display data. The thin-client terminal (1,1′) according to the invention is explosion-proof or is intrinsically safe and can thus be used in the potentially explosive area (ExB). The thin-client terminal (1,1′) also preferably has an explosion-proof or intrinsically safe keyboard (13) which is connected to the EDP device (11,11′) and is intended for inputting data.
