TXgard-IS+ Toxic and oxygen gas detector with display

General Details

TXgard-IS+ is a Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) toxic and oxygen gas detector with local LCD display. A very wide choice of sensors are available for use in a variety of applications.

TXgard-IS+ is ATEX certified for use in Zone 0,1 or 2 hazardous areas and also UL and cUL certified for use in Division 1 or 2 hazardous areas.

Features

Non-intrusive calibration

  • Calibration can be performed locally without the need for hot work permits – minimises operational down-time
  • Local display and buttons enable calibration without opening the junction box

Flexible output options

  • 4-20mA current sink or source – works with a wide selection of control panels
  • 2 or 3 wire formats
  • Optional relays for alarm and fault – can be used for switching local alarms

Rugged and reliable

  • Constructed using marine-grade aluminium with a stainless steel sensor housing – proven track record for operation in the harshest environments
  • Made from tough carbon loaded nylon
  • Ingress protection to IP65 as standard

Low cost of ownership

  • Non-intrusive one man calibration – easy to operate and maintain
  • Long life sensors – keeps interuption to on-site activity to a minimum
  • Simple parts replacement

Wide range of sensors

  • Choice of catalytic beads for a wide selection of flammable gases and vapours – gas detector tailored to your requirements
  • Extensive range of electrochemical sensors for toxic gases and oxygen
