LASER DISTANCE METER FOR HAZARDOUS AREAS
26/01/2011 CorDEX Instruments Ltd
-€¦ yet another world first for CorDEX InstrumentsThe LaserMETER 3000XP is explosion-proof and is ATEX & IECEx certified for use within Zone 1 IIC T4 hazardous (explosive) areas. Designed and manufactured by CorDEX Instruments, a technology leader in explosion-proof equipment, this new addition to the company's growing range promises easy and efficient distance measurement.
Unlike traditional laser measuring devices that are either unsuitable for the environment or need a hot work permit, the handheld LaserMETER 3000XP is instantly useable and has a range of features making it eminently fit-for-purpose. This product has been developed from end-user feedback and CorDEX Instruments is therefore confident that its LaserMETER 3000XP incorporates every function needed for efficient operation.
Weighing less than 1kg, the LaserMETER 3000XP is capable of measuring distances of 30m with a typical accuracy of 3mm. It also has Pythagoras, volume and area functions and is suitable for single or continuous measurement thanks to onboard mathematics.
The robust IP65 flameproof design comprises a cast aluminium chassis with a shock resistant, anti-static over moulded body with an armoured lens and LCD which is backlit for day and night operation. The rechargeable battery is interchangeable with that of other CorDEX Instruments' products and its reserve level is continuously shown in the LCD.
Another key benefit of the product is its ease of use. CorDEX Instruments has ensured the controls are optimally configured and even useable by an operator wearing padded industrial protective gloves.
Prime applications for the LaserMETER 3000XP are of course at oil refineries, on rigs and pipelines and in chemical processing plants, gas distribution centres, coal mines. Its scope of use goes way beyond these traditional markets however.
The printing, paper, textiles and surface coatings industries will also greatly benefit from its introduction as will those involved in sewerage treatment and aircraft refuelling. Indeed it is ideal for use in any environment where there is risk of explosion due to mixtures of gas and air or other flammable combinations.
The LaserMETER 3000XP is supplied complete as standard with a rechargeable battery, charging station and wrist strap.
