The safest choice for hazardous areas The Beamex MC6-Ex is the world’s most accurate intrinsically safe field calibrator and communicator. It is ATEX, IECEx, and North American certified and can be used in all hazardous areas. It offers calibration capabilities for pressure, temperature, and various electrical signals, and can be used as a multi-bus communicator for fieldbus instruments.
The MC6-Ex is an ATEX, IECEx, and North American-certified calibrator and communicator. It can be used safely even in the most demanding hazardous areas.
The MC6-Ex is a reliable and stable calibrator with unmatched accuracy for demanding industrial conditions. Each MC6-Ex is delivered with a traceable, accredited calibration certificate as standard as proof of its accuracy.
Although the MC6-Ex is an intrinsically safe calibrator, there are no compromises when it comes to functionality. It offers calibration capabilities for pressure, temperature, and various electrical signals and includes a multi-bus communicator. The MC6-Ex offers a lot of useful features that support your calibration process and it can even perform fully automatic calibrations.
The MC6-Ex offers several intuitive user interface modes that are optimized for different use cases and available in multiple languages. The calibrator guides you step-by-step in your calibration work.
The MC6-Ex contains a multi-bus field communicator for HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and Profibus PA prools to calibrate, configure, and trim your smart instruments. All three protocols can be enabled simultaneously.
The MC6-Ex is a documenting calibrator that communicates with Beamex calibration management software, enabling a fully digitalized calibration process.
