The world's most advanced alarm annunciator
RTK Engineering is launching what is claimed to be the world's most advanced integral logic alarm annunciator.
Light tower certificated for IS use too
New from RTK Linden is the LN870 Intrinsically Safe Light Tower, which will provide status indication in both safe and hazardous areas.
The unit is fully ATEX certified by Baseefa for use in Zones 0, 1 and 2 Ex II 1G, EEx ia IIC T4 standard.
The lightweight stainless steel construction gives a compact and simple to install modular unit.
This gives great benefits where space and payload are critical factors, especially offshore.
There is no longer any need to install expensive and cumbersome flameproof or purged cabinets or lengthy runs of armoured cable.
A total of up to 32 alarm channels can be driven from a single IS interface.
Each two way alarm card is programmable for different alarm sequences and different functionality.
In alarm annunciation applications, it is often essential to know which alarm occurred first in a particular group.
To this end, three different first-up sequences and seven different first-up groups are available, all user programmable.
All configuration and maintenance can be carried out from the front of the unit by simply removing the IP65-sealed facia and withdrawing the cards.
Inspection and maintenance can be undertaken live without any danger to personnel or plant.
The LN1000 is compatible with RTK Instruments' range of intrinsically safe audible and visual alarms and interface equipment.
If required, RTK Instruments can specify, design, manufacture and commission a complete alarm system for the client's exact application and industry requirements.
