    b) Analog Output 4/20mA sink or source isolated with HART®
    c) up to 3 Alarm Relays – 3A, 250VAC contacts
Mechanical
  • Enclosure
    • Aluminum or optional 316 Stainless Steel,  Glass lens, IP66 & IP68
    • FM/CSA Explosion Proof Certified Class I, Div I, Groups B, C And D Class II, III, Div 1, Groups E, F And G  ATEX Explosion Proof Certified ATEX 2 GD, Exd I & IIC;  IECEx, Exd I & IIC
    • Dimensions- L:  8.9″ (226mm) W:  5.8″ (147mm) H:  5.8″ (147mm)
