An ATEX-certified Raman analyzer is now available
This company has received ATEX and IECEx certification for its OPIS 35 laser accessory (photo). The certification is in accordance with the IEC 60079 standard, and authorizes the HyperFlux PRO Plus Raman analyzer for operation in ATEX Zone 0 when both products are used together. In the certified configuration, the OPIS 35 and HyperFlux PRO Plus are placed in a safe location with fiber optic interconnections to the Raman probe in the hazardous location. The OPIS 35 regulates the HyperFlux PRO Plus laser output to guarantee that no greater than 35 mW of laser power can enter the hazardous location. In accordance with Class 3B laser regulation, the OPIS 35 provides ATEX/IECEx certified signaling. — Tornado Spectral Systems, Toronto, Canada
