COMPLETE SOLUTIONS FOR APPLICATIONS IN EXPLOSION-HAZARDOUS AREAS

New from Comet:

The ZbC2+ Zener barrier is a certified explosion-proof interface (protection system) for explosion protection of electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres (Ex zones). It is used to connect a certified explosion-proof device (e.g. Ex transducer/transducer/sensor) located in potentially hazardous areas (Ex zones) to a non-certified device located in a safe area.

ATEX CERTIFIED BINUCLEAR EXPLOSION PROTECTION, ZbC2+ Zener barrier

The Zener barrier prevents the transfer of unacceptably high energy from the safe zone to the unsafe zone. The zener barrier must be installed outside the Ex zone. The output of the Zener barrier can be connected to measuring devices and controllers without ATEX certification.

The Zener barrier limits the amount of energy that can enter the blast zone to a low enough level that any spark does not have enough energy to ignite the explosive gas mixture. It contains two identical reversible diode interlocks in a common housing and is designed for DIN rail mounting in a safe area.

The certified explosion-proof device (also known as a hazardous area intrinsically safe device) and the Zener barrier in the hazardous area must be compliant. The intrinsic safety parameters Uo and Io of the Zener barrier must be lower than the Ui and Ii values of the device (Ui and Ii are the maximum voltage and current values that can be applied to the terminals of the device according to the certificate).

ATEX certified temperature and humidity transmitters for use in environments where explosive atmospheres are likely to occur

The transducers are designed to measure ambient temperature and relative humidity (in air free of toxic gases). They are explosion-proof (Ex) and suitable for potentially explosive environments in Zone II.

Benefits:

• 3 years warranty,
• Industrial design with IP 65 protection class,
• precise measurements of temperature, relative humidity and dew point,
• factory calibration certificate.

Meters that convert temperature and relative humidity values and are ATEX certified:

T3110Ex, wall-mount transducer

• temperature measuring range: -30 … +80 °C
• RV measurement range: 0 … 100 %
• Output: 4 … 20 mA

T3111Ex, measuring transducer with sensor on cable

• temperature measuring range: -30 … +105 °C
• RV measurement range: 0 … 100 %
• Output: 4 … 20 mA

T3113Ex, measuring transducer for duct mounting

• temperature measuring range: -30 … +125 °C
• RV measurement range: 0 … 100 %
• Output: 4 … 20 mA

The ELPRO Adhesive product range includes more than 300 explosion-proof products, the so-called Ex products. Related to these, our team includes two professionally trained and certified Ex experts (Explosion Protection Regulations and ATEX Directive) to advise on the selection, installation, use and maintenance of equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
