Descriptions
The model IS-3 intrinsically safe pressure sensor has been designed for gas hazardous areas (EPL Ga) and can also be used with combustible dusts (EPL Da) and in mines susceptible to firedamp (EPL Ma).
The model IS-3 is suitable for pressure ranges up to 6,000 bar [87,000 psi] and medium temperatures up to 200 °C [392 °F]. It features numerous approvals, such as ATEX, IECEx, FM and CSA. Thanks to the flush design variant, the IS-3 is also suitable for crystalline and viscous media, and also for applications where residuefree cleaning is needed.
Large selection of approvals
The model IS-3 offers many globally established approvals for use in hazardous areas – even for smaller markets. For system suppliers, approval combinations reduce the number of instrument variants that they have to keep available for their markets.
Exceptionally large
The model A-1200 is a pressure sensor without display that can be flexibly programmed via IO-Link and used in a variety of ways − whether for pressure monitoring or as an electronic PNP/NPN switch for process control.
More safety through digital connectivity
Thanks to IO-Link, the model A-1200 pressure sensor is ideal for use in intelligent machines. To ensure precise measurement results over the long term, the pressure sensor has integrated diagnostic functions that monitor the instrument status. In addition, the model A-1200 can be configured externally and conveniently via the digital signal and adjusted at any time.
Robust and durable, even in harsh environments
The robust version of pressure sensor with IO-Link has been designed specifically for extreme environmental conditions. With a welded M12 x 1 connector, this can easily withstand shock loads of up to 1,000 g. It is designed for medium temperatures between -40 … +125 °C and can therefore be integrated into almost any application. Downtime and associated maintenance expenses and costs decrease significantly due to the stable design.
Simple OEM integration
The integration of the model A-1200 pressure sensor into OEM series production is accomplished quickly. The sensors can be preset by WIKA based on the customer‘s desired parameters. Alternatively, automated IO-Link programming can shorten the configuration time in the factory.
Fast maintenance thanks to visual feedback
A 360° LED status display provides visual information about the sensor status. The green (OK), yellow (critical state) or red (error) signal enables intuitive and fast error detection and correction. For maintenance, a blinking function via IO-Link facilitates the clear localisation of a pressure sensor. Confusion is prevented and maintenance is accelerated.
