1.1 Flameproof flammable gas detector
This version of
Xgard
is a Flameproof gas detector, designed to detect
flammable gas present in ambient air, at concentrations not exceeding
the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of the target gas for which it is calibrated.
Xgard
Type 5 is powered by 24 V dc (nominally) and provides a 420 mA
signal (sink or source) proportional to the gas concentration. 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 PCB shown below.
