Airbox now available with ATEX

The unique Kuhnke pneumatic ASI modules known as Airbox now have 2 models available with ATEX approval. Each is a version of the standard 4 input 2 pneumatic output I/O modules which connect directly to the yellow cable of AS-Interface. There are already 26 models of Kuhnke Airbox to choose from, with standard versions available for yellow cable only and with auxiliary power (black cable). These also include monostable and bistable options, and different configurations for exhaust. The new ATEX II 3D rating allows 2 of the most popular models in the Kuhnke range to be used in dust explosion risk areas rated as zone 22. image Kuhnke’s new ATEX options are both monostable, and suitable for use with yellow cable only. Each uses Kuhnke’s unique low power technology with maximum loads per slave of only 200/270mA depending on model. Select Airbox 32 EX for simple control using the 2off 3/2 valves, and Airbox K EX where you need the low pressures associated with soft start. These are standard 7FFF I/O slaves with integrated digital inputs suitable for ASI V2.0.  There is no need to specify pneumatic function on ordering. The ATEX Airboxes can be 3/2 NO or NC 4/2, 5/2 and even 5/3 all ports open on removal of power. Just program you outputs as required.
