1.1.  Overview of the 

 Gas Monitor 

The 

 fixed  gas  monitor  is  an 

independent 

monitor 

capable 

of 

displaying 

one 

or 

two 

gas 

concentrations  as  well  as  sensor  or 
instrument 

comes 

standard 

with 

independent 4-20 mA outputs for each 
channel, making it ideal for interfacing 
to  control  units.    A  digital  ModBus 
RTU  interface  is  also  available, 
allowing  the 

 to  interface  to 

digital control systems.  The 

  

is  available  with    an  optional  relay 
board,  allowing  the  unit  to  directly 
control  external  devices  such  as  fans, 
pumps, alarm horns, or warning lights.  
Two of the relays can be programmed 
for  alarm  activation,  while  the  third 
relay is a fault protection relay. 

 

Figure 1-1.  Typical 

 Gas 

Monitor with Single Gas Sensor 

(Stainless Steel Option) 

Calibration,  changing  span  gas  concentration,  and  checking  the  instrument’s 
configuration are easily accomplished using the non-intrusive magnetic wand. 

The 

 is  powered  with  a  24  VDC  (12-28  VDC)  power  supply  and 

provides a 4-20 mA control signal for each sensor. 

1.2.  Specifications 

Specifications for the 

 gas monitor are listed in Table 1-1
