In industries such as chemical plants, pharmaceutical production facilities, oil refineries and mining - precision, reliability, and safety are paramount! The MTX 3297 Ex digital multimeter from Chauvin Arnoux is built to improve how professionals work in explosive atmospheres.
Certified under European directive 2014/34/UE, it meets strict safety standards for hazardous zones, including gas zones (0, 1, 2), dust zones (20, 21, 22), and M1 mining applications. This allows technicians to perform essential tests and troubleshoot with certainty and reduced risk. But offering safety is just the starting point!
Maintenance teams face increasingly difficult challenges, for example, dealing with stray voltages, fluctuating signals, and the need to quickly pinpoint faults in high-risk industrial systems. The MTX 3297 Ex offers advanced measurement capabilities, including low-impedance voltage readings and a low-pass filter for PWM signals, which minimise interference and provide accuracy in tough environments. Its features, such as Min/Max, Peak, and differential measurements, enable specialists to perform detailed diagnostics, quickly identify anomalies, and make informed decisions to prevent equipment failures.
This digital multimeter stands out for its detailed measurement capabilities! Its broad range, including capacitance measurement and extended frequency coverage, makes it suitable for a range of industrial applications. For businesses, this leads to faster problem-solving, improved reliability, and reduced downtime.
The dual display allows users to view two measurements simultaneously, reducing mode changes and enabling technicians to identify issues more quickly. This saves time, eliminates errors, and streamlines maintenance tasks.
The MTX 3297 Ex is also built for use in harsh industrial conditions. With an IP67 rating, it is protected against dust and can withstand exposure to water, making it reliable in dusty, wet, or tough environments. Its high safety ratings (1000 V CAT III / 600 V CAT IV) mean it The CAT rating indicates suitability for specific electrical zones. CAT III applies to distribution-level equipment with lower fault currents protected by miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) and is used downstream of the incoming fuse. CAT IV is intended for use upstream of the distribution board (DB) for utility operations and/or systems.)
For companies operating in hazardous environments, the MTX 3297 Ex improves safety, enables faster, more accurate fault detection, and helps preserve seamless equipment

[GU2]Hi Rochel, everything looks great. The sentence is technically correct - the CAT rating means it can be used in different electrical zones CAT III can be used at distribution level equipment where fault currents are lower as they have MCBs you can use CATIII anywhere down stream of incoming fuse - CAT IV can be used upstream of the DB on electrical utilities side. Hope this helps
