The TS4000 intelligent toxic gas detector from General Monitors has received ATEX approval for use in potentially explosive environments.
Offering protection against a wide range of hazardous industrial gases, as well as oxygen deficiency, the TS4000 intelligent toxic gas detector from General Monitors has received ATEX approval for use in potentially explosive environments classified as EEx d mb IIC (-40C < Ta < +75C).
The TS4000 toxic gas detector's sophisticated design offers many advanced features, including long distance remote mounting up to 600m, dual redundant Modbus communications, 8A relays, three-digit display, 4-20mA output, and indication of remaining sensor life.
All of the electronics are contained within an explosion-proof housing so that sensor information can be processed at the sensor site.
Additionally, the interface module's galvanically-isolated, intrinsically-safe design supports sensor field replacement without special tools or hot work permits.
Easy to install - the TS4000 features one-person calibration and is virtually self-calibrating by activating a magnetic switch and applying gas.
Process engineers who need to protect people and equipment will find that the TS4000 is ideal for chemical, oil/gas, wastewater and other hazardous environments.
Additional applications include public utilities, refineries, pharmaceuticals and food and beverage.
The TS4000 monitors a variety of toxic gases in the parts per million (ppm) range, including ammonia, carbon monoxide, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulphide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, oxygen deficiency, ozone and sulphur dioxide.
The system displays gas concentrations up to 500 ppm, fault codes for troubleshooting, prompts when calibration is needed, and provides complete status to the control room.
Additionally, the TS4000 simplifies operation and maintenance and reduces downtime by providing remaining sensor life indication.
The TS4000 uses an intelligent microprocessor-based design in an explosion-proof housing.
This 24VDC-powered toxic gas detector comprises a base unit, sensor housing with interface module and electrochemical sensor.
The interface module processes information at the sensor site and communicates detected gas values to the base unit for data control and display.
By combining explosion-proof certification with intrinsically safe inputs, the TS4000 provides high performance in hazardous locations.
It can also be used for general-purpose, non-hazardous applications.
