Fixed Gas Sensors
"Detecting the Difference"

Fixed Gas Sensors

Detcon manufactures the most rugged and diverse fixed gas detection sensors for a wide range of industrial applications… the Model 700, MicroSafe™ Models 500/600, and the Model 100. The Model 700 is a state-of-the-art intelligent sensor specifically designed for harsh environments and extreme locations, Models 500/600 feature Detcon's MicroSafe intuitive software, and the Model 100 is a back-to-basics high quality, low power, no frills gas detection sensor. All Detcon sensor assemblies are designed as easy-to-use field replaceable plug-in sensors with intelligent electronics and a non-instrusive operator interface.

Detcon Model Series 700 Gas Detection Sensors


"Environmentally Bulletproof"
• Water-Proof
• Corrosion-Proof
• Vibration-Proof
• Multi-Layer Surge Protection
• Pre-emptive Fault Diagnostics


Model 700 Sensors


Detcon Model Series 700 industrial gas detection sensors are a new generation of intelligent sensor modules that incorporate and integrate several leading edge improvements. The sensors are specifically designed for harsh and extreme locations. This new and superior level of environmental durability in sensor design includes an electropolished 316 stainless steel housing, multi-layered transient spike protection circuitry and 100% encapsulated electronics. The sensor electronics are completely protected and immune to water ingress and corrosion. The gas detector sensor elements are all plug-in components and can easily be replaced in the field. Operator interface is non-intrusive via a small handheld magnet. Configuration and routine calibration is intuitive and menu driven with fully scripted instructions. Sensor status is displayed on a built-in alphanumeric LED display. Model Series 700 intelligent sensor modules feature dual redundant outputs, a linear 4-20 milliamp analog signal and a Modbus RS-485 serial output.

Detcon MicroSafe™ Gas Detection Sensors

"Intuitive Diagnostic Intelligence"
• Intuitive Non-intrusive Operator Interface
• Modular Plug & Play Sensors & Transmitters
• Simple Menu-driven Calibration & Programming
• Integral Sensor Fault Diagnostics

Two Models to Choose From
• Model 500: 4-20mA
• Model 600: 4-20mA, Modbus RTU, Alarm Relays


MicroSafe Sensors

Detcon MicroSafe™ Series intelligent gas detection sensors feature Detcon's MicroSafe™ intuitive software. Operator interface is non-intrusive using a hand-held magnet and program switches accessed through a glass lens cover. Calibration instructions appear in simple interactive and sequential script on a 16-character backlit alphanumeric display. The transmitter design incorporates extensive fault diagnostics with each condition conveniently identified on the transmitter display. The gas detector sensor elements and transmitters are plug-in components and can easily be replaced in the field.

Model Series 500 comes standard with a linear 4-20 mA output, one-man remote calibration, self-adjusting zero and span, and LED indicators for fault and calibration status.

Model Series 600
includes the same features as the 500 with the addition of 3 alarm relays and an RS-485 serial communications port.

Detcon Model 100 Gas Detection Sensors

"Simple, Affordable, Durable"

• XP-Intrinsically Safe design
• Non-Intrusive Interface
• 4-20 Milliamp Output
• Class I, Division 1, Groups B,C,D
• Integral Sensor Fault Diagnostics
• Fully encapsulated electronics


RD-8X


Detcon Model 100 Series sensors feature intelligent electronics, non-intrusive operator interface and comprehensive fault diagnostics. The sensor is packaged in an electro-polished 316 stainless steel housing fitted with a ¾ inch NPT thread. The plug-in, field replaceable sensor features large surface area gold-plated pins that reduce the effects of corrosion in harsh industrial environments. Signal conditioning electronics are completely encapsulated in the sensor housing adding a high level of durability to the design. The packaging is Explosion Proof (Class I, Div. 1 Groups B, C, D). Model 100 is equiped with a standard analog 4-20 mA current signal equivalent to the sensor range of detection. Upper enclosure options are aluminum and stainless steel (includes a transient protection terminal board). Additional accessories include wireless communications, a loop powered digital display, Remote Alarm Module (RAM), HART, and a current to RS-485 converter. The standard serial converter is Modbus RTU. Each sensor is shipped with a splash guard with integral calibration port.

Model DM-100 provides a wide range of toxic gas sensors and oxygen that uses electrochemical technology. Model FP-100 is a combustible gas sensor using catalytic bead technology. The Model TP-100 H2S Solid State MOS Sensor will be available in Spring 2012 and the Model IR-100 Infrared Combustible Hydrocarbon and CO2 sensors will be available in the Summer 2012.
