EGE Elektronik Sensor Amplifiers for Ex Productseries SZAb 400 Ex

The EGE Elektronik SZAb 400 Ex is the authoritative choice for industrial safety in explosive atmospheres.

Description

The EGE Elektronik SZAb 400 Ex is the authoritative choice for industrial safety in explosive atmospheres. While sensors in hazardous zones must be built to withstand volatile gases or dust, they require an external evaluation unit located in a safe area to process their signals and provide power. The SZAb 400 Ex fulfills this role by limiting the energy sent to the sensor to levels that cannot ignite an explosive mixture a principle known as Intrinsic Safety.
