Display fascias provide hazardous area alerts

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 30, 2005

A new range of display fascias provide a clear display, illuminated by virtually maintenance-free ultrabright LED assemblies, that is approved for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.

The simple backlit flashing display is still regarded as the clearest way of alerting operators to abnormal conditions on complex processes.

DFR30IS display fascias provide a clear display, illuminated by virtually maintenance-free ultrabright LED assemblies.

The fascia is approved for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas and has been awarded ATEX certification to EN50014:1997 and EN50020:2002, Group II, Category 2G, EEx ia IIC T4.

This product is often combined with RTK Instruments' range of alarm annunciators and certified Interfaces to provide a complete alarm management system with displays in both safe and hazardous areas.

Three window sizes are available (30 x 30, 60 x 30 and 60 x 60mm) in a choice of six colours.

As the DFR30IS display fascia is modular in design, displays can be created in almost any format, arrangement and size enabling the user to have exactly the configuration needed for a specific application.

The unit can be supplied with the windows engraved to a customer's requirement or RTK can supply a template to allow users to create their own legends locally.

As the DFR30IS is often used for alarm indication, pushbuttons and audibles can be included within the display itself to acknowledge and reset alarms.

These are normally fitted in the bottom right-hand cell.
