950IS
The 950IS can be used in hazardous environments
when connected to an approved safety barrier. The
LDT is UL & CSA listed for Class I, Group C & D,
Class II, Groups E, F, & G and Class III hazardous
locations, when properly installed.
The term ‘Intrinsically Safe’ is used to describe
electronic equipment that has the ability to be
mounted directly in explosive atmospheres without
chance of an explosion. The term ‘Intrinsically
Safe’ pertains to a device’s inability to produce an
electrical spark of enough significance to cause
ignition.
How does an Intrinsically Safe LDT work? A Gemco
Transmitter (950-1446) is located in a “safe” or
“non-explosive” area which accepts the system’s
supply voltage (115 VAC, 230 VAC, or 24 VDC)
and generates the LDTs positional output signal in
voltage or current. The transmitter also generates
and accepts the LDT signals. These signals are
driven through an approved intrinsically safe barrier
assuring the safety of the system. Custom 950 Mill
Duty enclosures are available for this LDT.
The 950IS is designed to work with Gemco style
magnets. If installing in a hydraulic cylinder a Gemco
style magnet must be used.
