The fixed gas detector incorporates ‘Typhoon Technology’, and ‘Fence Electrode Technology’; ensuring reliable operation in extreme weather conditions.

The fixed VOC detector detects a wide range of compounds, and has four different ranges for detection to choose from. The ATEX approved gas detector is available in two models: Pumped and Diffused. The Pumped model is ideal for difficult to reach places, and the Diffused model has lower servicing cost.

The ATEX approved gas detector features the following benefits:

Feature	Benefit
Typhoon Technology	Safeguards the sensor from condensing moisture, ensuring reliable reading in extreme weather.
Fence Electrode Technology	Ensures the detector is resistant to humidity and contamination. This feature minimises drifts (which ensures accurate readings), and extends the lifespan of the device.
Multi coloured LED display	Readings can be seen from a distance of 20 meters in sunlight, ensuring that workers and staff are clearly alerted to hazardous environment.
Externally located intrinsically safe sensor	Enables quick and easy servicing, eliminating the need for hot work permit.
Dual certifications	Enables servicing and calibration in hazardous environments, whilst the power is switched on. This ensure that there are no interruptions in operations and that the staff members are always safe.
Intuitive user interface	Five magnetic switches with LED confirmation, high contrast OLED screen, and graphical interface. This ensures quick and easy installation and servicing.
Flexible relay outputs	Can be configured for high or low alarms, fault conditions, or test cycle synchronisations.
Fitted with long life lamp	Provides two years of continuous use.
