Notices for Handling the DetCon Detonation Controller in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Explosion hazard!

Only use detonation sensors approved by MOTORTECH for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.

P/N

Description

43.20.001

Detonation sensor without sensor lead, two-pole

43.30.004-60

Detonation sensor lead, 18 m (59.06 ft)

 



Explosion hazard!

The USB interface may only be used in a non-explosive atmosphere. There is a risk of sparking.

   

Sealing of the enclosure to the enclosure cover

The sealing of the enclosure to the enclosure cover is done by a foamed seal. The overlapping of the foam bead (start point/end point) of the seal cannot be produced without a seam due to the material, but has no influence on the specified IP protection class.

 

Use MOTORTECH detonation sensors

The DetCon detonation controllers are parameterized for operation with MOTORTECH detonation sensors (piezoelectric acceleration transducers).
