The incremental Sendix ATEX 7000encoders are suitable for explosiveatmospheres. Thanks to the explosion-proof enclosure made of sea water-resistant aluminium and a highprotection level, these encoders areapproved for zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.Their compact construction, with adiameter of only 70 mm allows easymounting even where space is tight.

When using devices in explosiveenvironments there are two key factors tobe considered; one is to offer the bestprotection for the operators using theequipment; the second is to have as littleamount of down time as possible. With itsrobust, reliable construction the Sendix

ATEX 7000 encoder delivers in bothcounts. The unit has been fully tested andcertified to all the latest standards.

These encoders have been successfullyused in the following applications; mining,chemical industry, offshore plants, paintingplants and process automation.

Features:

• ATEX and IECEx approval

• Reliable, shock and vibration-resistant

• Reduced installation depth and compactcable outlet

• IP67 protection level

GHM Honsberg has made a number of improvements to the popular CRG paddleflow switch, designed to improve ease of installation and setting procedures.

The CRG now comes with a transparent housing cover making the micro-switch operationvisible without the need to open the enclosure and exposing ‘live’ electrical contacts.

The cable gland position has been moved from the top lid of the enclosure to the baseimproving accessibility and safety when making electrical connections and setting theswitch point.

To assist in selecting the paddle combination and correct installation the flow rate table'adjusting' information has been devised ensuring the correct paddle size is used in relationto pipe diameter:

This range incorporates 2 or 3 rows ofcommon terminals that can be used todistribute the power to multiple devices and afeed through terminal that can be connectedto your sensor, actuator or PLC. Using thissystem the wiring can all be terminated in thesame place therefore removing the need tosplit the power away from the signal cables.

With tension spring cable connectiontechnology, you can be assured of a fast,

reliable and maintenance free solution.

This range is also available without feed

through and can be supplied pre-assembled

or as piece parts for complete flexibility.

• Ratings – 400V, 17.5A

• 2.5mm cable size

• Cross connectable

• Touch-safe construction

• Screwless connection

The ZINI/ZAKTO range of terminals are designed to localise all your sensor andactuator connections to one area in your panel or machine.
