1.1 Flameproof toxic and oxygen gas detector
This version of
Xgard
is a Flameproof looppowered (currentsink)
420 mA toxic or oxygen gas detector, designed to detect a wide range
of gases when fitted with the appropriate electrochemical sensor. The
detector is certified
II 2 GD EExd IIC T6, and is suitable for use in
Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
Electrical connections to the detector are made via the terminal block on
the amplifier PCB shown below. The amplifier provides power to the
sensor, and converts the sensor signal into a 420 mA signal for
connection to a control panel.
