Explosive areas require specialised equipment designed with safety in mind. Mettler Toledo’s IND560x weighing terminal offers speed, accuracy and safety for weighing in explosive and hazardous areas
The IND560x brings uncompromised performance and productivity into Division 1, Zone 1 and 21 classified areas. Designed for easy process control and manual weighing operations, it is the gold standard for weighing in explosive areas. It features an intrinsically safe design, high-speed process control and internal active/active valve controllers.
The unit can be used in all areas of the manufacturing facility. It allows for speed and functionality and offers a simple single solution to control all weighing requirements in hazardous environments. Connectivity is easy with the IND560x as it can easily be connected to an ACM500 communication module and communicate via Ethernet, Ethernet IP, DeviceNet, Profibus or AB RIO, as well as the standard RS-232 and RS-485.
Benefits include:
• Full compliance with global safety and weights and measures standards.
• Best-in-class target update rate of up to 50 Hertz for high-speed automatic control.
• Built in active/active piezo solid state I/Os control valves directly without the need for extra wiring.
• Large display with SmartTrac for simple accurate manual control.
• Fibre Optic connections are simple and cheaper to install than copper based connections.
