Certifications for use in hazardous
environments:
| By
Division: Class I, Div 2, Groups A, B, C, and D |
 |
Class I: Hazardous locations
with presence of flammable gases or vapors. |
|
Division 2: Hazardous
atmospheres only present under fault conditions and only for very short periods of time. |
|
Group A, B, C and D: Groups of
explosive gases (Acetylene, Hydrogen, Ethylene and Propane). |
|
| By Zone: |
|
Class I: Hazardous locations
with presence of flammable gases or vapors. |
|
Zone 1: Hazardous atmospheres
may be present under normal operation, but only for short periods of time
(intermittently). |
|
AEx d/Ex d: Flameproof devices
(AEx d for USA, Ex d for Canada). |
|
IIB+H2: Group of explosive
gases (Hydrogen, Ethylene, valid also for group IIA – Propane) |
These sensors feature the
same advanced microprocessor design and innovative AirCoreTM sensing coil,
along with a robust potting process that allows users to install the sensor in heavy duty
applications. There are no new part numbers involved, as the Class I, Div 2 Rating is an
enhancement to the existing ICB Series.
The sensors are available from Carlo
Gavazzi’s North American network of sales offices and distributors, or at www.GavazziOnline.com.
