Diffusion Sensor/Transmitter for Combustible Gases – S2000 Series

S2000 Series combustible gas sensor /transmitters are highly reliable and very cost effective for detection of all combustible gases.  These sensors have been used under diverse ambient conditions including Off-shore. The sensor works on the catalytic oxidation principal and generates an electrical signal depending upon gas concentration in air.  These sensors are used over 0-100% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) of gas concentration in standard air. These sensors respond to all combustible gases. Sensors can be calibrated to respond to a specific gas. These sensors are rugged in design and do not generate false response like Semiconductor sensors.

This model is available with following variations:

1. Sensor – Catalytic Combustion OR Dual Beam Infra-red.

2. Operating Voltage – 9-24 V DC OR 15-37 V DC

3. Enclosure – Flameproof Weatherproof IP55 as per IEC 60079 & PESO approved OR Flameproof Weatherproof IP65 compaliant with IEC 60079

The transmitter contains all the circuits to provide regulated Sensor drive, pre-amplifiers for both reference and detection channels, circuits for all processing operations and calibration controls etc.

Each transmitter is factory calibrated for one or two gases (Dual Gas version) Methane and Iso-butane). Alternately it can be given for any two gases as desired. User can select any of these two gases on site without necessity of re-calibration.

It generates industry standard 4-20mA output for three-wire, remote monitoring host systems like Control Panels, DCS, PLC, or any 4-20mA receiver or Prism  family of Monitors  or SCADA systems.
