This electronic thermostat has a flameproof enclosure
Quintex GmbH
A common challenge for many electronic controllers located in hazardous areas is setting the temperature and alarm setpoints. Adjustments normally require the power supply to be switched off before opening the flameproof enclosure housing, which makes accurate, onsite setting challenging, says the company. By contrast, the EXTC 100 (photo) is a fully adjustable, remote-controlled, electronic controller that is housed in a flameproof (Ex-d type) enclosure. It can be fully controlled by means of an intrinsically safe, remote-control infrared beam — without having to open or turn off the unit. All settings are stored and accessed securely, using a four-digit password. This hazardous-area thermostat is available for electric trace heating circuits and other processes. — Quintex GmbH, Lauda- Königshofen, Germany
