Devices and protective systems must meet special requirements with use in explosion-risk areas.
Built into pressure-resistant glass cylinders of the Ex protection type "d" under the name COMPACT EX1, various models of the COMPACT Safety Light Curtains are available, tailor-made for these types of applications, i.e. for use up to Ex zone 1 (gases) and Ex zone 21 (flammable dusts) – with the typical benefits of the COMPACT series with regard to higher interference immunity and availability. In addition to the requirements of machine safety, COMPACT EX1 also satisfies the provisions of ATEX Directive 94/9/EC.
The glass cylinder housed in the COMPACT Safety Light Curtain is firmly closed with a lid. Robust cable bushings in the lid safely enclose the cables suitable for explosion-risk areas, which are to be provided by the customer. COMPACT EX1 can be used in industrial applications, however it cannot be used in pits. The device complies as an electrical piece of apparatus of EX device group II, EX category 2.
