The new HI 8100IS is a high-performance weighing instrument designed to operate in all Classes, Divisions, and Groups* in accordance with U.S. UL and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and with CAN Standards.
It features two available power options: AC line power for permanent installation in the hazardous area; or high-performance external rechargeable battery packs that are easy to switch out for recharging in a safe area. For continuous battery power, maintaining multiple batteries allows for fast swapping in/out. It has an optional serial communication interface delivered over two Fiber Optic ports to bring data out to a Safe Area or to daisy chain the instruments to an optional Remote Display.
The HI 8100IS is a basic five-button indicator designed for use in hazardous locations. It is ideal for manufacturing processes where equipment is exposed to flammable gases; flammable or combustible liquid-produced vapors; combustible dusts or ignitable fibers; or flyings.
The HI 8100IS also features both battery and AC power options. The simplified user interface makes it intuitive to use by a wide range of operators with varying degrees of technical expertise. The HI 8100IS is extremely versatile for a range of weighing demands, from tank-based inventory control to batching operations in chemical environments. Specific applications and environments include fuel refineries, machinery maintenance, chemical plants, chemical storage, distilleries, and textile manufacturing.
This instrument supports up to four 350-ohm load cells with an intrinsically safe HI8JBX junction box, ideal for interface with IS-certified floor scales or tank and hopper scales. The instrument features IP6X, 304 stainless steel construction ideal for heavy washdown and resistance to many chemicals, dust, and corrosion.
UL Intrinsically Safe (IS)
Certified in all Classes, Divisions, and Groups in accordance with U.S. UL and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and with CAN Standards. The indicators are also certified IP6X against hazardous dust and fine particles that can ignite.
Two Power Options
AC line power for permanent installation in the safe or hazardous area; or high-performance external rechargeable battery pack that is easy to remove for recharging in the safe area. For continuous battery power, maintaining multiple batteries allows for fast swapping in/out.
304 Stainless Steel Construction
Ideal for heavy washdown and resistance to many chemicals, dust, and corrosion.
