FA 300 Ex -80 to 20°C
td
FA 300-2 Ex measures the dew point 
resp. the pressure dew point in 
explosive areas of Zone 1. 
Protection class: FA 300-2 Ex:
I 2G Ex ia II C T4
With the Atex approval for Zone 1 
the established dew point measuring 
instruments FA 300-2 can now be
used in explosive areas of the 
industry as well.
FA 300-2 Ex may only be used in connec-
tion with approved Ex-rated power supplies 
or safety barriers or galvanic separating 
elements 
with max.: U0 = 30 V max.
  I0 = 100 mA max.
  P0 = 1 W max.
