1. Introduction
1.1 Product overview
Xsafe Bright
is a versatile gas detector for monitoring a wide range of
flammable and toxic gases and oxygen levels.
Xsafe Bright
incorporates a
bright OLED (organic light emitting diode) display and a magnetic wand for
easy menu operation.
Xsafe Bright
provides analogue 4-20mA and RS-485 Modbus signals as
standard, with optional HART interface. Relays are also fitted for activating local
alarms or sending digital signals to control systems.
Xsafe Bright
may be fitted with electrochemical type toxic or oxygen sensors,
PID sensors or infrared (IR) carbon dioxide gas sensors. Please refer to the
product identification label to determine the type of sensor fitted.
Xsafe Bright
has no hazardous location capability. It may not be installed in a
zoned hazardous location. For such applications Xgard Bright is advised.
1.2 Safety information
Safety information relevant to Ex requirements:
• The cable gland must be installed before use and must have an appropriate
ingress protection for the application and environment.
• Unused cable entries must be sealed to give appropriate ingress protection.
• Only cables of types specific in these instructions can be used.
General safety information
•
Xsafe Bright
gas detectors must be installed, operated and maintained in
strict accordance with these instructions, warnings, label information, and
within the limitations stated.
•
Xsafe Bright
detectors are designed to detect gases or vapours in air, and
not inert or oxygen deficient atmospheres.
Xsafe Bright
oxygen detectors
can measure in oxygen deficient atmospheres. The exception is carbon
dioxide
Xsafe Bright
which uses infrared technology and will work with no
oxygen present.
• Electrochemical cells used in toxic and oxygen versions of
Xsafe Bright
contain small volumes of corrosive electrolyte. Care should be observed
when replacing cells to ensure that the electrolyte does not come into
contact with skin or eyes.
