23 January – Autec brings to market a new line of ATEX radio remote transmitters ‘LK NEO EX’. The previously launched ‘LK NEO’ control units now have an explosion proof equivalent! The new Ex-line complies with the ATEX directive 2014/34/UE (zone 0/20 or zone 2/22) and the IECEx certification scheme (zone 0/20). Customers have the choice between a 8 and 12 pushbutton model.
The LK NEO EX transmitters are suitable for environments with explosion risks, such as petrochemical, heavy industry, chemicals, pharma, marine & offshore. They can be combined with any of the receiving units in the Autec AIR Series on the condition that the receiver is placed outside explosion-risk zone. An alternative option is to supply a receiving unit inside an ELMA explosion-proof enclosure. Elma Systems has decades of experience when it comes to designing and implementing Ex cabinets and enclosures.
