Research labs, solvent storage areas, process areas, are two versions of sensor; one for both catalytic
demineralisation plants and electrochemical type sensor cartridges and
one for the thick film (semi conductor) type
cartridges.

Smart cartridge
The sensors can be fitted with a choice of over
40 toxic gas ranges and wide range of detectable
flammable gases. Each cartridge is pre calibrated
and simply plugs into the sensor. The Intrinsically
Safe design allows cartridges to be changed with
the unit under power. The transmitter recognizes
a newly fitted sensor cartridge and automatically
reads all the configuration information from it.
