Gas Detector

This intrinsically safe gas detector uses plug-in modules to spot dangerous concentrations of over 50 toxic or explosive gases — from arsine to xylene. It is especially useful for areas where gases under pressure could pose flammability or poisoning problems. The plug-in modules simplify recalibration. Because each module is precision tuned to “see” a specific gas, recalibration is just a matter of pulling one module and replacing it with a new one, obviating the need for cumbersome calibration cylinders. Module changeover takes less than 10 sec, and does not require area evacuation or declassification even in hazardous locations, since the detector is inherently intrinsically safe. The stainless-steel housing prevents corrosion, and an optional internal heating element enables operation in subzero temperatures.
