Inductive Proximity Sensors with Hazardous Location Ratings
Buffalo Grove, IL – Carlo Gavazzi is proud to announce the enhancement to our popular ICB Series Proximity Sensors: Certifications for use in hazardous environments
By Division:Â Class I, Div 2, Groups A, B, C, and D
Class I: Hazardous locations with presence of flammable gases or vapors.
Division 2: Hazardous atmospheres only present under fault conditions and only for very short periods of time.
Group A, B, C and D: Groups of explosive gases (Acetylene, Hydrogen, Ethylene andPropane).
By Zone:
Class I: Hazardous locations with presence of flammable gases or vapors.
Zone 1: Hazardous atmospheres may be present under normal operation, but only for short periods of time (intermittently).
AEx d/Ex d: Flameproof devices (AEx d for USA, Ex d for Canada).
IIB+H2: Group of explosive gases (Hydrogen, Ethylene, valid also for group IIA – Propane)
These sensors feature the same advanced microprocessor design and innovative AirCoreTM sensing coil, along with a robust potting process that allows users to install the sensor in heavy duty appli-cations. There are no new part numbers involved, as the Class I,Div 2 Rating is an enhancement to the existing ICB Series.
The sensors are available from Carlo Gavazzi’s North American network of sales offices and distributors, or at www.GavazziOnline.com.
