IS Alarm trip wins!

Control Engineering 2017 Engineers’ Choice Award for Process Safety, Intrinsic Safety category has been achieved by Moore Industries. The successful instrument is their SPA2IS Programmable Alarm Trip with Intrinsically-Safe (IS) Field Connections. The award will be presented at the 2017 Engineering Awards Manufacturing dinner on Monday, April 3, 2017 in Chicago (USA)

Moore Industries has focused on protecting people, plants, and the environment since its 1968 founding as part of an overall effort to help customers in the chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas extraction and refining, and pharmaceutical industries by creating products that monitor, control, and measure signals in hazardous areas. The company strives to produce the best alarm solutions that significantly reduce wiring, installation and maintenance costs. The SPA2IS is a combination alarm trip and temperature transmitter that includes built-in intrinsically-safe field connections for current/voltage, thermocouple, and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).

For facilities that employ intrinsic safety measures, the SPA2IS is a cost effective and complete alarm solution that includes intrinsically-safe field connections, providing the necessary protection typically afforded by a galvanically isolated intrinsically safe barrier. The SPA2IS decreases wiring and maintenance costs by enabling users to eliminate additional barriers and power supplies, reducing space requirements and heat dissipation or cooling considerations in barrier marshalling cabinets. The SPA2IS is powered by a universal AC/DC power supply and provides on/off control, warns of unwanted process conditions, alarms on rate of change, and assists with or performs emergency shutdowns. The SPA2IS is site and PC programmable using Moore Industries’ free Intelligent PC Configuration Software.
