A New Low Cost Explosion Proof Fume Hood Monitor for Hazardous Laboratories
Explosion Proof Monitor
We are very pleased to offer the XPA1 series of explosion proof
monitors. We have models for Class 1 Div 1 & Class 1 Div 2
laboratories.
Intended for use in laboratories classified as a hazardous location, the explosion-proof low pressure alarm provides continuous monitoring of the negative static pressure in the fume hood exhaust duct. During normal negative static pressure conditions, the alarm illuminates a green indicator LED. When static pressure in the exhaust duct is insufficient, an audible alarm sounds and a red LED indicator illuminates. To maintain the integrity of the certified explosion proof instrument enclosure, the functionality of the test/reset button is performed using a light sensor.
Covering the light sensor momentarily acknowledges the alarm and silences the horn for 10 minutes. During periods of darkness, the alarm functions normally but the test/reset function is unavailable. An output relay is provided to signal a remote alarm if needed.
All electrical housings are UL or FM approved for Class 1, Div 1, Groups B, C and D.
Standard buzzer is Class 1, Div 2, optional buzzer is Class 1, Div 1.
