Introduction to the Unit
Overview
The Air Sentinel III is a purge controller that can be used to provide
protection for electrical equipment operating in potentially hazardous
areas. The Air Sentinel III controls the equipment power and measures
the air flow and pressure of the enclosure. The equipment must be
placed into a suitable electrical enclosure. The Air Sentinel III meets
the requirements of IEC 60079-0 and 60079-2. It has been certified
to IECEx hazardous location rating of Ex mb [pxb] IIC T4 Gb 0°C
≤Ta≤55°C and Explosive Atmospheres - Part 18: Equipment Protection
by Encapsulation “m”, IEC 60079-18:2009.
