Control Instruments Corporation’s complete line of PrevEx Flammability Analyzers, models SNR671, SNR672, SNR674, and SNR675, all received ATEX approval. All monitor a number of common vapors and are unaffected by temperatures in processes as diverse as flexographic printing and ceramic kilns.

The essence of the PrevEx detection system lies in its ability to perform accurately under the demands of the industrial environment. Its unique sensing flame technology has proven itself to be the most reliable in the industry, ensuring unmatched safety and ultra-fast response time, even when sampling a mixture of several different flammable vapors. It is in recognition to these exclusive features, that the PrevEx analyzers were declared compliant with ATEX Directives (the ATEX Directive embodies the European requirements for equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres).
