Enclosure includes an Ex d housing for the controller and an Ex e housing for the connection area.

SensoTech'sLiquiSonic controller is being integrated in an explosion-proof field housing.

Together with the LiquiSonic sensors, the controller is applied for monitoring the concentration and density in process liquids. The enclosure includes an Ex d housing for the controller and an Ex e housing for the connection area. Both meet the requirements according to ATEX, IECEx, and UL guidelines as well as other country-specific standards. The explosion protection complies to the classification of II 2 G Ex de IIB + H2 T6, whereas the protection degree of the field housing is characterized by IP66/NEMA 4X.

Navigation of the controller is made via serial interface or network connection. The measuring values can be watched through the viewing window of the housing. They also can be displayed on the computer.

For ambient temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius, the field housing is combined with an additional housing that integrates a Vortex-cooler. This option is relevant for applications in petrochemical industries.
