SIWAREX IS New Generation
Intrinsically safe circuits
The Ex-Interface SIWAREX IS can be used for SIWAREX weigh-
ing modules. It comprises six safety barriers and has been Load cell powering
granted the approvals stated in the technical data. The Ex inter- No-load voltage U01 13.1 V DC

The SIWAREX IS only interferes with the load cell signal to a very Sensor line
small extent and is therefore approved for scales requiring veri-
fication. No-load voltage U02 14.4 V DC
