AUTOMATION & PROCESS

TECHNOLOGIES

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.
