PRODUCTS HAZARDOUS AREA EQUIPMENT RADAR LEVEL TRANSMITTER IS IEC 61508 CERTIFIED
Emerson Process Management’s Rosemount 5300 Guided Wave Radar (GWR) level transmitters are now certified to IEC 61508 for safety instrumented functions up to SIL 3. This is particularly beneficial for companies in the oil and gas production, refining, petrochemical, chemical and power industries and for applications such as overfill prevention and dry pump protection. The functional safety assessment covered SIL 2 rated safety applications in a single
BULLETIN LIBRARY
E2S designs and manufactures audible and visible signalling devices for use in industrial, marine and hazardous area applications. To assist system integrators and specifiers to choose an effective signal for their specific application, E2S has launched a technical bulletins library. The first three bulletins cover two
specialist products - Hootronic and Appello - and the dB(A) performance of its AlertAlarm industrial range. The Hootronic family is available in a number of different configurations with outputs from 112 dB(A) to 124 dB(A). The Appello next generation user
recordable alarm signals can store up to two minutes of content, enabling specific messages or instructions to be played with or without any of the 45 tones already on the device. Outputs range from 105 dB(A) to 121 dB(A). The AlertAlarm family is available
with three or four stages with maximum output levels from 104 dB(A) to 131 dB(A) at one metre.

configuration, and SIL 3 rated safety applications in redundant mode. The certification means that the Rosemount 5300 GWR is suitable for continuous level measurement in safety instrumented functions up to SIL 3, as defined in IEC 61511 for applications in the process industry. The Rosemount 5300 Series is a two wire GWR for challenging level and interface measurements on liquids, slurries and solids. The Direct Switch Technology (DST) function increases measurement reliability and capability. In addition to improving the signal-to-noise ratio, DST enhances the ability to handle disturbing factors, longer measuring ranges, and lower dielectrics, even with a single probe. Maintenance-free operation improves up-time, and advanced configuration and extensive diagnostic information is available through the RadarMaster and EDDL-based user interface.

The new MTL GECMA RT remote operating terminal from Eaton enables plant managers to reduce operating costs, optimise productivity and increase plant safety. The new MTL GECMA RT has a modular design and is a next generation remote terminal which makes it well suited for use in hazardous EX zone areas in chemical, pharmaceutical, refinery and oil and gas industries worldwide. The MTL GECMA RT consists
of five electronic modules - the display unit, power supply, communications modules, keyboard and mouse - and each are individually approved to global hazardous certification for
ATEX CERTIFICATION FOR PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS
American Sensor Technologies has achieved ATEX certification for its range of intrinsically safe pressure transducers. In coordination with CSA and SIRA, AST has gained ATEX certification for Class I Zone 0 Exia IIB and IIC, T4 rated areas. The certification allows AST to expand its support of pressure and
level measurement applications in oil and gas and alternative energy markets in Europe and the Middle East. AST’s ATEX certified pressure transducers are available for
submersible and non-submersible applications including oil field SCADA systems, compressors, hydraulic systems, water management and more. Units are available from 0-1 PSI (68millibar) to 20,000 PSI (1400 bar) in various material options including 316L, Inconel Hastelloy C276, and PVDF.

Zone 1 environments. A key function of the MTL
GECMA RT is the intrinsically safe cable for secure data transmission. Users can specify an Ethernet or fibre optic cable between the control room and remote terminal, with no need for additional external cable protection. In addition, the terminal features a visual alarm to immediately warn users in the event of a process failure. The alarm visualisation system checks the correct data transmission to the display in real time and alerts users by way of a flashing red icon. Key applications for the MTL
GECMA RT include intrinsic safety, Enter 203

GREATER SECURITY
The new fourth generation ControlEx connectors from Hawke International include a new padlock facility and improved secure cap fixings. The padlock allows the connectors to be securely locked to prevent accidental unplugging of equipment while the improved secure cap fixings prevent them being lost or damaged. Designed for powering
control equipment in hazardous areas, the plug-and-play connectors promote the safe and rapid installation, service and replacement of control equipment. Well suited for both offshore and onshore applications in oil and gas operations and other environments with explosion hazards, the new ControlEx includes a variable keying
system to prevent accidental cross- mating, modular gold plated field crimpable inserts for ease of wiring and an easily inspected flame-proof barrier seal. Machined from marine grade
stainless steel, the connectors provide durability in hostile environments. The equipment is ATEX, IECEX, GOST and NEC certified, Exd rated with an
ingress protection rating of IP66/67, and DTS01 deluge protection. Multiple inserts are available
allowing bodies to handle
up to 60 cores, thus aiding flexibility and efficient stock holding.
