Product Overview

ATEX Compact Thermostats | Zone 1 & Zone 2 (IIA, IIB, IIC) Hazardous Areas

ATEX Certified

EXHEAT FXT hazardous area compact thermostats provide smart and energy-efficient temperature management for hazardous area certified electrical heating and air warming for Zone 1 & Zone 2 (Flammable Gas) and Zone 21 & Zone 22 (Dust) explosive atmospheres according to ATEX Directive.

The FXT ATEX thermostats are designed to accompany the FX hazardous area compact enclosure heaters, FXE and FXS range. They can also be used for many standalone applications.

The thermostats are certified for use in hazardous areas where the atmosphere is classified as a Zone 1 or 2 (IIA, IIB, IIC) Gas Group or a Zone 21 or 22 (IIIA, IIIB, IIIC) Dust Group.

FXT Flameproof Air Sensing Thermostats

The FXT Flameproof Air Sensing thermostats are designed to be used alongside the FXE compact enclosure heaters – featuring the FXE’s radial-fin profile, and are mounted vertically by bracket or rail. Standalone FXT Flameproof Air Sensing thermostats are supplied with cables fitted through certified cable glands for termination.

The FXT thermostats are offered in the following variants:

FXT-DI and FXT-DR Flameproof Thermostats

FXT-DR and FXT-DI flameproof thermostats provide control for 2kW heaters and can be combined with the FX range of compact enclosure heaters designed specifically for frost protection, anti-condensation and temperature control.

They are available in remote (FXT-DR) or inline (FXT-DI) variants, and can achieve an ambient temperatures as high as 195°C. The FXT-DR and FXT-DI thermostats are also housed in a hard anodised aluminium enclosure and therefore suited to marine environments.

FXT-M Encapsulated Inline Thermostats

The FXT-M encapsulated inline thermostats have been designed as a temperature control solution where space is at a premium. The inline thermostats are able to convert small and medium sized heaters to sustain a pre-determined ambient temperature.

The FXT-M is composed of a unique electronic potting compound, stainless steel shroud and polyolefin sheath. Robust and lightweight in design a main benefit of the thermostat is it requires minimal maintenance. Similar to the FXT-DR and FXT-DI thermostats the FXT-M can be linked with the FX range of compact enclosure heaters designed specifically for frost protection, anti-condensation and temperature control – operating in ambient temperatures up to +80°C.

Alternatively, when supplied with up to 10m of cable, the FXT-M can be installed to control any electrical item inside a cabinet or enclosure.
