 Belonging   to

Through the connection of  remote sensors,  the BX280-AX control unit has been  designed and built according
to  European  regulations  to  detect  the  presence  of

 

toxic  and/or  explosive  gas  in  a  flexible  way

A  microprocessor  is  used  to  create  a  complete  surveillance  and  control  system  with  maximum  flexibility.
Thanks  to  this  and  its  other  features,  the  BX280-AX  is  suitable  for  civil  and  industrial  applications.

The  BX280-AX  control  unit  has  two  danger  levels:
1

st

  LEVEL,  1

st

  Pre-Alarm.  It’s  set  at  13  %  of  L.E.L.  for  all  sensors.

2

nd

  LEVEL,  Main  Alarm.  It’s  set  at  20%  of  L.E.L.

Other  technical  features  make  this  control  unit  extremely  versatile  and  reliable;  for  example,  by  using  a  series
of  micro-switches  it  is  possible  to:
Select  or  disable  a  sensor  when  not  installed  or  faulty;
Select  the  gas  type  to  be  detected  (toxic  or  explosive);
Choose  the  relay  functioning  mode  (pulsed  or  continuous);
Choose  deadband  exclusion  mode

A  TEST button  checks the efficiency  of  both the  unit and  connected probe to ensure total control  of  the BX280-
AX
Thanks  to  the  Omega-type  format,  small  and  large  systems  can  be  built  by  exploiting  the  modularity  of  the
DIN  rail  in  the  previously  set  electrical  panels.
In  addition  to  the  alarm  signal  light,  it  is  fitted  with  an  internal  buzzer.

Important:  Assembly  /  maintenance  of  the  appliance  must  be  carried  out  by  qualified  personnel
and  in  accordance  with  applicable  laws  and  regulations.
The  manufacturer  assumes  no  responsibility  for  the  use  of  products  that  have  to  comply  with
particular  environmental  and  /  or  installation  standards.

Important  note
Before  connecting  the  equipment,  it  is  recommended  that  you  read  the  instruction  manual
carefully  and  keep  it  for  future  reference.  It  is  also  recommended  to  perform  the  electrical
connections  correctly  as  per  enclosed  drawings,  observing  the  instructions  and  the  Standards.
N.B.  Refer  to  the  documentation  in  all  cases  where  the  symbol  is  on  the  side

Channel:  Beinat  gas  solutions

Electric connections also available on
