Gems Sensors & Controls Introduces CSA Approved Intrinsically Safe Pressure Transmitters

Plainville CT, February 2013- Gems Sensors and Controls is proud to announce that the new 31CS and 32CS Series intrinsically safe pressure transmitters have been approved by the CSA, meeting both USA and Canadian standard requirements for use in hazardous areas. The only difference between the two series is the thicker pressure restrictor and diaphragm on the 32CS series, which improves reliability during extreme pressure spikes and stability in pulsating applications as well as improved endurance in cavitation.

The transmitters are durable and compact, ideal for use in harsh outdoor environments. Time and cost is reduced as the 31CS/32CS Series transmitters can be fitted directly to pipe work and do not require small bore pipe work usually needed for non-Division 1 certified transmitters.

The CS series transmitters are certified for use in several areas when used with a zener barrier. These areas include Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D; Class I, Zone 0 EX ia IIB T4 Ga; Class I, Zone 0 AEx ia IIB T4 Ga. The series performs well in hazardous area installations such as gas compressors, gas distribution, and well automation. Some features of these transmitters include ASIC-controlled thermal compensation, Sputtered Thin Film sensing technology, signal conditioning, and 17-4 PH stainless steel wetted parts. Resistant to shock and vibration, the series has long-term stability and high accuracy for even the most demanding applications. There are many factory-configured settings available as well as options for configuration specific to customer requirements.
