MRX Series
DESCRIPTION
MRX Reed Relay Series are used for the
galvanic separation of intrinsically safe and non-
intrinsically safe circuits with an Ex-approval by
PTB-01 ATEX 2050 U. The MRX series is also
suitable for circuits of the category “ia” due to its
peak voltage of 375 Voltage.
FEATURES APPLICATIONS
Test and measurement
Process automatization in the min-
ing industry, chemical industry and
reneries.
Up to 4 form A switches or 1 form C switch
are available according to the different cast-
ings.
ORDER INFORMATION
