Terminals take graphics to hazardous zones
The BAT 300 and BAT 800 are the latest additions to Bartec's highly successful BAT VGA pro range of Ex terminals.
Remote station is at home in hazardous areas
Designed and certified to conform to PTB 00 ATEX 1003, the Remote Station 18.1in enables the user to use any process control system within Ex areas.
Highly sensitive and effective up to a range of 100m, the receiver and amplifier form a compact integrated unit, with the receiver amplifier being sensitive to the light emitted from its own transmitter.
Owing to the use of high intensity, pulsating light renders the device immune to interference from other light sources that sometimes occur in connection lines from separately mounted amplifiers.
Explosion protected to EEx d 11C T6, the Bartec 200m device is ideal in environments containing dust, steam or coloured mist and can also be operated in areas of "dead air".
Equipped with an operating status LED, the unit's high quality electronic components are housed in equally sized rugged nickel-plated brass enclosures with epoxy resin encapsulated cable tails, giving the product sturdy protection against wear, physical shock and polarity reversal and guaranteeing the device remains fully operational, even under the most extreme conditions.
The maintenance output of Bartec's high performance photoelectric barriers, have been set to a 70% power drop value.
The remaining 30% margin permits essential cleaning to be scheduled when necessary.
To fully complement the devices, Bartec has also developed a special range of particularly minute EEx terminal boxes in polyester or aluminium for the proper connection of the factory-encapsulated cable ends.
