Toxic gas detector family is ATEX approved

13 August 2010

Detector Electronics Corporation's GT3000 toxic gas detectors have received ATEX hazardous location and performance certification in addition to the FM, CSA, CE, and IECEx certified they already held. Rated to IP66, the family is a group of electrochemical fixed-point detectors that provide non-intrusive calibration, communication via 4mA-20mA with Hart protocol.

Det-tronics GT3000

The series also has the ability to swap sensors without de-classifying hazardous areas. A Det-Tronics GT3000 detector consists of a transmitter (GTX) and a sensor module (GTS). The transmitter generates a 4mA-20mA output signal with HART that is proportional to the concentration of the target gas and corresponds directly to 0%-100% full scale.

Currently, the GT3000 family includes sensors that detect these gases: hydrogen sulphide, oxygen, carbon monoxide , ammonia , chlorine, and sulfur dioxide. More gases will be added soon.
