What Are Loop Indicators?
Loop indicators are essential instruments used to display process variables such as temperature, pressure, or flow in industrial applications. BEKA specializes in intrinsically safe loop-powered indicators, which are particularly designed for use in hazardous areas. These devices are powered directly from the current loop (typically 4-20mA), meaning they do not require an external power source. This makes them not only safe but also highly convenient for installation in hazardous environments.
Loop indicators from BEKA are designed with high contrast displays, providing clear visibility even in challenging conditions. They are housed in durable enclosures, made either from GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) or stainless steel, ensuring durability and protection against harsh environmental factors. The intrinsic safety of these indicators means they are certified to prevent ignition in explosive atmospheres, which makes them ideal for use in industries like oil and gas, where safety is a critical concern.
These indicators are not only reliable but also customizable. BEKA offers a range of accessories such as dual isolated alarms, display backlights, and mounting kits, which enhance the functionality of the indicators. Furthermore, this company’s loop indicators are designed to operate over a wide temperature range, so accurate and reliable performance is possible even in extreme conditions.
Overall, BEKA’s loop indicators are a top choice for companies that need safe, reliable, and easy-to-install instruments for monitoring critical process variables in hazardous areas. With BEKA’s commitment to quality, backed by a three-year warranty and international certifications, these loop indicators represent a smart investment for any industrial operation.
