Detcon Model Series 700 Gas Detection Sensors Receive ATEX
Certification
The Model 700 series product line has received ATEX
certification on the combustible gas, and solid-state H2S, sensor models for
use in Class I, Zone 1, Group IIB+H2. For the toxic gas and O2 deficiency
sensor models, the ATEX certification covers use in Class I, Zone 1, Group IIC.
Detcon Model Series 700 sensors are a new generation of intelligent
gas detection devices that incorporate and integrate several leading edge
improvements. This new generation of "environmentally bullet proof" sensors
addresses the most critical probability of failure on demand factors. Across
all brands more than 90% of all premature gas detection sensor failures are due
to water ingress. The remaining 10% of failures can be attributed to corrosion,
vibration or circuit damage due to lightning or transient spikes. Detcon Model
Series 700 sensors virtually eliminate these critical probability-of-failure
factors.
Detcon Model Series 700 Sensors are available utilizing most
commercially active technologies including, CHEMFET solid state MOS for H2S,
catalytic and infrared for combustible gas, electrochemical cells for a wide
range of toxic compounds, 2-electrode air battery sensors for oxygen deficiency
and a sub-miniature PID for a wide range of volatile organic compounds.
The Detcon Model Series 700 features standard integration outputs of a
linear 4-20 milliamp analog signal, RS-485 MODBUS RTU serial communication and
are also available with optional Profibus and HART protocols. In addition to
ATEX certification, all Model Series 700 sensors have received the CE Mark and
are also certified by CSA to Canadian and UL explosion proof standards.
