Collection: ATEX heaters and temperature control

No. The IP rating concerns the enclosure’s protection against the ingress of solid objects and water, while suitability for an explosive atmosphere depends on the ATEX marking and documentation. Compatibility with the zone, the gas or dust present and the temperature conditions must be checked. The control unit, sensors and connections must also comply with the permitted configuration.

No. The LB series models for drums and IBCs in the range operate with a self-limiting heating cable and do not provide for connection to an external control unit. ATEX models with external control for drums, IBCs and cylinders instead require a compatible controller-limiter, supplied separately. This distinction must be checked against the heater’s product code and not inferred solely from the ATEX designation.

No. This is the control unit’s measurement range, not the permitted temperature of the heater or the contents. The permitted setting depends on system limits, the required temperature class, the container material and product characteristics. The controller’s reading capability does not change any of these limits.
