and can be externally synchronised. The optional control outputs enable two external devices to be turned on and off at pre-set times twice in each twenty four hour period. Three types of panel mounting


enclosure with two display sizes are available. All have IP66 front of panel protection and the range includes a model with a rugged 316 stainless steel enclosure and a toughened glass window for applications in severe or marine environments. Field mounting timers and clocks have


an IP66 impact resistant GRP case with stainless steel fittings suitable for use in harsh industrial environments, including off-shore applications. Accessories include an internally powered backlight, pipe and panel mounting kits, and a stainless steel legend plate that can be supplied laser engraved with customer specified information. In addition to general purpose


Beka provides an outline of a new range of timers and clocks that simplify process timing in hazardous areas


B


eka has launched a new range of timers and clocks that simplify


process timing in both hazardous and non-hazardous areas. Including panel and field mounting models which can be configured to function with most sensors, the timers and clocks feature easy to read dual displays. These versatile instruments can be


configured on-site as a timer or as a clock. As a timer they can measure and


display the elapsed time between external events using sensors connected to one or both inputs. Optional dual control outputs enable the instruments to control external devices. Control cycles can be repeated continuously or a specified number of times with a configurable delay between each cycle. When configured as a clock, the


instruments display local time in twelve or twenty four hour format


instruments, intrinsically safe models have ATEX, IECEx, US and Canadian certification allowing worldwide installation in gas and dust hazardous areas. For applications in Zone 2 or 22, Ex nA and Ex tc approval permits installation without the need for Zener barriers or galvanic isolators which reduces the installation cost. Although well documented and easy to


configure on-site, all models can be supplied configured to customer's requirements with a slide-in scale card showing user specified units of measurement and instrument identification for no additional charge. Beka instruments are supported by a


three year guarantee and for customers wishing to evaluate an instrument on- site, a free three month sale or return evaluation service is available.

ATEX CERTIFIED CONNECTION ENCLOSURES


Hansford Sensors has launched a new intrinsically safe, ATEX certified connection enclosure for industrial and process vibration monitoring. The HS-ICE enclosure provides a compact,


self-contained terminal to take readings from accelerometers via portable data-collectors. The multi-channel unit can be configured from one to 24 channels, allowing readings to be taken quickly and simply from a central point. The enclosure is made of stainless steel and


sealed to IP66, so maintenance teams can have peace of mind that the connectors inside are safely protected from the ingress of dust and moisture. Importantly, the HS-ICE unit is both IECEx and ATEX certified, making it compliant

with the latest rules and regulations for hazardous environments. Commenting on the launch, Chris Hansford,


Managing Director of Hansford Sensors, says: “The new HS-ICE further expands our range of intrinsically safe equipment and is essential for maintenance teams overseeing condition monitoring programmes in hazardous areas. It’s safe and compliant, with the multi-channel capability in a single, compact unit helping to improve productivity and the reliability with which data can be captured.”
