TX6383.01
FLAMMABLE GAS SENSOR/ TRANSMITTER
All options of the TX6383.01sensor (0.4 to 2 V, 4 to 20 mA and
5 to 15 Hz) are certified Intrinsically Safe for use in Group I
hazardous areas (Mining) when used with approved equipment
eg. TX9131 Trip Amplifier or a TX9042 Programmable
Sensor Controller.
THE COMPLETE SYSTEM, BOTH SENSOR AND MONITORING
DEVICE, CAN BE MOUNTED IN THE HAZARDOUS AREA.
The interconnecting cable between the sensor and the
monitoring device must have steel wire armoured
protection or a braided earth screen. The cross sectional
area of the conductors must be a minimum of 1 mm
2.

TOXIC GAS SENSOR/ TRANSMITTER
This version of the sensor (4 to 20 mA) is certified Intrinsically
Safe for use in industrial hazardous areas, when used in
conjunction with safety barriers.
THE SAFETY BARRIERS ARE MOUNTED IN THE SAFE AREA,
ONLY THE SENSOR IS MOUNTED IN THE HAZARDOUS AREA.
The system may be used with either zener safety barriers or
isolation safety barriers.
