X111 Rugged Stand Alone Linear Position Sensor
Intrinsically Safe sensors for Hazardous GAS atmospheres

Available in any travel from 50mm to 600mm.

Specification

Intrinsic Safety

 

ATEX approval

The sensor is ATEX approved to II 1G EEx ia IIC T4 (Ta = -40°C to +80°C).  This designates the sensor as belonging to; Group II: suitable for all areas except mining, Category 1 G: can be used in areas with continuous, long or frequent periods of exposure to hazardous gas (Zone 0).  Protection class ia, denotes intrinsically safe for all zones.  Apparatus group IIC: suitable for IIA to IIC explosive gas.  Temperature class T4: maximum sensor surface temperature under fault conditions 135°C.  Ambient temperature range extended to -40°C to 80°C.

Galvanic Isolation Amplifier

Intrinsically safe sensors must be used with a galvanically isolated amplifier with safety parameters not exceeding:- Ui: 11.4V, Ii: 0.2A, Pi: 0.51W.  Sensor can be installed with a cable length up to 1000m maximum from the amplifier, capacitance and inductance can be up to:- Capacitance: 550 nF max, Inductance: 99 μH max.

Approved amplifiers are available from Positek; there is a

choice of 0.5-9.5V or 4-20mA transmission outputs.
