FTC 320 EX

FTC320Ex
with approval Ex-Zone2 Ex II3G nR IIC T4 Gc

The FTC320Ex is an FTC320 with approval for Zone 2 according to ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. The analyzers of the FTC320 series with the corresponding approval bear the marking:

II3G Ex nR IIC T4 Gc

The functionality, operation and measurement characteristics are the same as the FTC320. The conformity statement for the measuring concept manufacturer’s declaration was issued by TUV SUD on the 10.08.2020. The suitability of the housings used for the FTC320 product series for the Ex protection type „nR” (vapor-proof equipment) was proven by a fundamental test.

Together with the FTC320 the FTC320Ex is the new generation of our thermal conductivity analyzers. With the new electronics, the measurement accuracy has been improved compared to the FTC300. The already low noise of our analyzers has been further reduced. This is particularly crucial for measurements in the trace range.

New measurement tasks can be realized with the FTC320. In particular, the possibility of cross-sensitivity compensation using external signals has been expanded. This is made possible by the larger program memory and significantly more computing power.

For a more intuitive use, the operating menu has been slightly revised. As usual, data access is possible via an RS232 interface. The mounting dimensions as well as the analog interfaces (4-20mA, 0-10V and relays) stay the same compared to the FTC300. Those who are familiar with the FTC300 will also quickly get to work with the FTC320.
