RFID READER ATEX explosion proof

 

The explosion-proof ATEX RFID reader range is a series of 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz RFID card readers according to ATEX II 2 G/Ex db IIC T6 Gb and ATEX II 2 D/Ex tb IIIC T85°C IP66 standard.

The ATEX readers are explosion proof RFID card readers and can be used for example in tank terminal areas or any other area which has ATEX classified zones.

The ATEX reader range consists of an ATEX rated heavy duty aluminum epoxy coated casting with a chemical resistant viewing window and can be equipped with a reader for MIFARE and NFC UID, MIFARE R/W, EM4200/Atmel 5577 or HID Prox and a wide selection of readily integrated data interfaces.

The ATEX zone II certified casting can easily be integrated due to its small design. A clear LED indication (red, yellow, green) gives the user the needed feedback. The IP66 protection allows outdoor installation.

The ATEX unit comes pre-assembled with screw terminals for easy field connection and an explosion proof gland for entering the reader cable.
