CSI 2140 now certified for explosive dust environments

Emerson’s CSI 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer has been certified for Class II, Division 2, Groups (F, G). As a result, it is the only portable vibration analyser on the market today that can be used in hazardous combustible dust environments.

Emerson’s CSI 2140, which is already ATEX and IECEx Zone 2, and Class I, Division 2 Groups (A, B, C, D) certified, is approved for use in most industrial hazardous areas in the US and Canada.

The CSI 2140 provides an early indication of bearing and gearbox defects before they can lead to machine outages. Its PeakVue™ signal processing methodology cuts through the complexity of machinery analysis to provide a simple, reliable indication of equipment health.

“Emerson is committed to helping our customers with safety concerns,” said Tom Nelson, Emerson’s CSI 2140 Senior Technology Manager. “With all of its safety certifications, customers can be confident using the CSI 2140 with most types of equipment in hazardous environments.”

Class II, Division 2 certification covers a range of industries from grain processing, food production, chemical manufacturing, recycling facilities and coal-fired power plants.
