In demanding hazardous-location process environments, having realtime control of process applications is crucial. Set for release early this year, the Bebco 6500 Purge and Pressurization Series (photo) has been designed specifically for global Zone1/21 applications, and offers a control unit with HART and Bluetooth connection and communication. In addition, the 6500 vent provides continuous readouts of both pressure and flow for added monitoring functionality. A free mobile application is also available for smartphones or tablets that allows end users to easily link to the 6500 control unit. The control units are engineered in 316L stainless steel, and are available with either internal or external mounting options. — Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH, Mannheim, Germany
