Wenesco EX series Intrinsically safe hot plates are specifically designed to operate in Class 1, Division 1 & 2 conditions

When related to hot plates, intrinsic safety means that oxygen in the hot plate housing is held to such a low level that a mixture of flammable or combustible material cannot ignite, either during normal operation or under fault conditions.

Model HP86EX

Each features a nitrogen inerting system that the sealed hot plate purged with nitrogen. If nitrogen pressure is lost, an accurate pressure sensor shuts down the heating elements.

The device is controlled from a remote digital thermostat which displays set point and current temperature in F or C. This thermostat features PID function to limit temperature variation to 2% of set point.  An adjustable high-limit setting with manual restart is included.  Note:  the thermostat enclosure must be placed in a “safe zone” -- out of the hazardous environment.

The hot plate assembly consists of an anodized aluminum plate mounted on a stainless steel housing. The heating elements are mounted to the bottom of the plate. The elements and wiring are enclosed in the housing, which is finally sealed with high temperature cement.
