Temperature Controls/Extech is a supplier of the Beka range of instruments. Beka Associates has extended the ATEX Intrinsic safety certification for its field mounting instruments to include Group 11, Category 1D dust approval.
The range includes loop powered 4 to 20 mA digital indicators, rate totalisers, counters, timers, tachometers, clocks, batch controllers, serial text displays and fieldbus displays. All of these instruments have a robust IP66 GRP enclosure with a separate terminal compartment and include accessories such as backlights and alarm outputs.
This extended ATEX approval allows the instruments to be used in both explosive gas atmospheres and in the presence of combustible dust in zones 20, 21 and 22. The instruments have a certified maximum temperature of +80°C and ambient temperatures between -20 and +60°C allowing them to be used with almost any industrial dust.
The BEKA BA304D and BA324D field mounting loop-powered 4 to 20 mA indicators and the BA484DF fieldbus display also have international IECEx gas and dust certification, plus FM intrinsic safety and non-incendive approvals allowing these instruments to be installed in almost any area where flammable gases or combustible dusts may be present.
