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.
