Monitran introduce new safety sensors

Monitran safety sensor

ATEX and IECEx Group II certified safe dual-output sensors designed for vibration and temperature monitoring

MONITRAN, an industry leader in the development and manufacture of transducers, have launched two series of intrinsically safe sensors. Certified to ATEX and IECEx Group II, the MTN/2285IT and MTN/2200IT series are sealed to IP67 and come with integral cables or 4-pin connectors

The sensors are suitable for measuring vibration levels and temperatures in areas where explosive gases, liquids or dust may be present. Intended for monitoring applications, the MTN/2285IT series comprises sensors with DC current outputs, in the range 4–20mA, proportional to RMS velocity (mm/s) and temperature as a voltage at a sensitivity of 10mV/°C. In addition, the operating temperature is certified to T6 (–55°C ≤ Ta ≤ +45°C).

 

The MTN/2200IT series is aimed more at analysis applications and features constant current accelerometers with isolated outputs for acceleration, in volts at a standard sensitivity of 100mV/g, and temperature at a sensitivity of 10mV/°C. The operating temperature for this series is certified to T4 (–55°C ≤ Ta ≤ +95°C).

Andy Anthony, managing director of Monitran, commented: ‘The monitoring of both vibration and temperature levels is at the heart of many predictive maintenance strategies. Adding a temperature measuring capability to our existing range of ATEX-certified sensors is a goal we’ve had for some time as, for instance, we understand most engineers view temperature as the foundation for bearing monitoring.

‘Having put our robust dual-output sensors through the rigorous ATEX and IECEx certification processes, we’re able to provide our customers with a variety of products to meet their monitoring requirements in hazardous areas.’
