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.
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. |
