| Beka announces Single Variable Fieldbus Indicators | ||

.jpg) March 5, 2007 - BEKA launched a range of single variable Fieldbus indicators. These new cost effective instruments have a bold 20mm high five digit display plus a 31 segment analogue bargraph which provides an easy to read, high contrast display in most lighting conditions. All models have been FF registered and are bus powered, but only consume 13mA allowing connection to most fieldbus segments. To maximise system compatibility, these new Fieldbus indicators have been tested and in many cases been through the third party approvals process with all the major DCS vendors. Field and panel mounting models are now available from stock and recently won a design award for Technical Innovation at the HazardEx conference in the UK. The field mounting models have an IP66 GRP enclosure with a toughened glass window and a separate terminal compartment. They are surface mounting but can be mounted onto a vertical or horizontal pipe using an accessory kit. Units of measurement and tag information can be marked onto the display escutcheon or engraved onto an optional stainless steel plate. The panel mounting models are housed in a 144 x 72mm DIN enclosure with an IP66 front panel and a gasket to seal the joint between the indicator and the instrument panel. Intrinsically safe models with ATEX, FM, CFM and IECEx approvals allow installation in most gas hazardous areas including Zone 0 and Division 1. Field mounting models can also be supplied for use with combustible dusts. For less onerous Zone 2 hazardous areas, an ATEX and IECEx certified Type nL field mounting model is available for use in flammable gases or combustible dusts. For Division 2 applications in North America, the intrinsically safe models also have FM and CFM non-incendive approvals.
