ATEX Approval for Optech Level Monitors
15 December 2006, 10:16am
Optech Incorporated is pleased to announce that its Sentry series of laser-based continuous non-contact process level monitors has been awarded ATEX certification for hazardous locations.
Optech’s Sentry model SR is specifically designed to measure precise distances in industrial process applications from ranges up to 25 meters (about 80 feet). It comes complete with an explosion-proof enclosure bearing CSA, FM, CE and now, ATEX approvals.
Two models (Clear Path and Dust and Vapour)are available to meet varying environmental requirements. The Sentry is completely non-intrusive and comes available with pre-packaged mounting kits for common flange sizes. Optional dust and contaminant purging hardware is available as well.
“The new ATEX certification will help to extend our sales in the European Process Control Market,” says Brent Gelhar, Director Lidar Technology Products. “Obtaining ATEX certification is proof of Optech’s ongoing commitment to quality and reliability. As an international company with products used in over 100 countries around the globe, it is
critical that Optech continues to set the industry standard for safety and performance,” adds Mr.Gelhar.
Optech instruments are designed to perform in applications where location, environment or process characteristics can impede conventional technologies from operating reliably. Optech’s popular Sentinel and Watchman models are examples of such laser rangefinding instruments. They use reliable, pulsed time-of-flight laser rangefinders that are housed in rugged, industrial-grade enclosures.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.How valuable are our efforts on SDIs if we don’t actively address the human issues? Think about all the government regulations, technical implementation plans, internal processes and procedures, data sharing networks and so on. These are arguably meaningless if there is no buy-in or understanding from the people who must deliver against them.
During the 1Spatial Conference 2008 where there was a large number of presentations on a wide range of important industry topics ranging from data quality, data integration and data maintenance to open source and INSPIRE. But there were very few presentations that focused on the human aspects of our business.… More…
