Intrinsically Safe Ultrasonic Sensors
Designed for Hazardous Locations/Explosive Atmospheres
When continuous operation is critical, Migatron’s intrinsically safe ultrasonic sensors deliver. Designed for use in hazardous locations/explosive atmospheres, these sensors offer non-contact level and distance measurement in hazardous gas or dust environments classified as Zone 0, 1, 2, 20, 21, or 22 for ATEX/IECEx, and Class I, II, or III for C-UL-US when used with approved intrinsic safety barrier(s). Migatron’s Intrinsically Safe Ultrasonic Sensors support equipment operation in some of the world’s toughest environments and are known for unparalleled performance.
Sensors for Hazardous Areas
Our lines of Intrinsically Safe Ultrasonic Sensors carry approvals for many locations and regions. They Include: ANZEx, ATEX, IECEx, & C-UL-US.
Ultrasonic technology eliminates contact with volatile substances—reducing corrosion, and maintenance downtime.
Ideal for exploration platforms, refineries, mining conveyors, and pipeline terminals, our sensors resist temperature swings, dust ingress, and washdown conditions.
Compatible with Safety Barriers
Our ZSB-409A 3-channel zener safety barrier provides “ia” level of protection for all of Migatron’s RPS-409A-IS product lines.
Intrinsically Safe System Architecture
An intrinsically safe installation is not just a sensor. It is a complete system:
- Hazardous Area-Intrinsically safe ultrasonic sensor
- Safety Barrier (Zener or Isolated)-Limits energy entering the hazardous area
- Safe Area-Power supply and control system
- Cable-Must be considered due to stored energy
Barriers are critical because they control the energy delivered to the field device, ensuring safe operation in hazardous locations.
Benefits of Migatron Intrinsically Safe Sensors
- Certifications for Wider Use: Designed for international use in regulated industries with multi-agency approvals.
- Accurate Measurement Without Risk: Avoid process contact in explosive atmospheres, eliminating fouling and ensuring uninterrupted operation.
- Easy Integration: Analog outputs are compatible with PLCs, SCADA, and control interfaces in safety-rated environments.
