CorDEX Instruments Announces LaserMETER 3000XP First-Ever Certified Explosion Proof Laser Distance Meter

SCARBOROUGH, England, January 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CorDEX Instruments, the UK Test and Measurement company specializing in explosion-proof tools for the petro-chemical and mining industries, announces LaserMETER 3000XP, the first ever handheld laser distance meter certified for ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 IIC T4.

Maintenance, operations and safety personnel working in hazardous environments will appreciate the LaserMETER 3000XP's rugged cast aluminum chassis and toughened safety glass, all doubly-encased in anti-static overmold.

Designed for ease of use by those wearing required safety clothing, the LaserMETER 3000XP features large, raised buttons and easy-touch controls.

While developing LaserMETER 3000XP, CorDEX Instruments focused on time-saving efficiencies for those in the field. Critical certifications eliminate the need to secure a "Hot Work" permit, and a single user can use the on-board mathematics to calculate volume, area and Pythagoras' theorem while still in the field.

The LaserMETER 3000XP is available through major North American distributors for $1,049. Additional accessories including extra batteries, charging stations and power supplies are also available.
