Details
The MKE-5-IS Digital Indicator has all of the mechanical features and advantages present in the MKE-5 (the non-IS equivalent). However, the MKE-5-IS is exclusively built to be
Explosion Proof and Intrinsically Safe for use in Hazardous/Classified Environments. The indicator features a
flame proof Nylon Enclosure and a specially designed control board approved for intrinsic safety. Our full function keypad enables alphanumeric data input, while the large graphic display gives easy to read results. A variety of communication options allows data to be sent to and received from other computerized instruments.
New Features
The MKE-5-IS Intrinsically Safe Digital Indicator can now be configured in multiple ways to meet the needs of specific applications. AC Powered Systems are now available (see Configuration #2). Secondary Safe Area display are also available. These and other configurations are illustrated here. Contact us at (800) 645-4301 for more details.

Safe Communication Options
The MKE-5-IS allows for low-voltage intrinsically safe communication to take place using RS-422, 4-wire communication. It also allows for discrete Setpoint outputs for trigger signals to be sent to PLCs.
Expandable Outputs
In addition to intrinsically safe communication options, the MKE-5-IS can also be equipped with non-IS communication features such as RS-232, USB, Ethernet TCP/IP and Wi-Fi.
Secondary Display
Advanced options, features and outputs such as USB Data Logging, Modbus, Integration with Google Spreadsheets and AxChange Cloud Monitoring are available with a secondary display in the safe area. Check out the
Upgrades Table below for a list of options we offer.
