Instrumentation/Electronics with Hazardous Area Approval

Load cells and weighing assemblies form only part of a weighing system. If located in a hazardous area, the junction box and weight indicator / transmitter will also require ATEX certification. However, if the junction box and/or indicator are located in a safe area, there would be no need for them to be ATEX/IECEx certified ­- only the load cells will need to be. Depending on the ATEX/IECEx certification of the load cells, safety barriers may (or may not) be required.
