Description
Hexane sensor transmitter – explosion proof LEL / leakage detector – ATEX, SIL 2, Zone 1, 2
online, continuous monitoring of hexane gas leakage or LEL level, flameproof or explosion proof certified Zone 1, 2 with ATEX, SIL 2, wall / duct mount, with / without display, contact relays, flashing alarm LEDs
Model: S2XX7
Hexane is an alkane of six carbon atoms, with the chemical formula C6H14.
SMART S series hexane gas detector is highly robust, industrial grade, flameproof or explosion proof gas detector for hexane leakage concentration detection or LEL monitoring. The instrument can be installed for hexane monitoring at oil extraction plant, solvent facility, cleansing facility in textile manufacturing etc.
The detector can be installed at walls, surfaces or in ducts for monitoring in gas or air sample. It is ATEX EEx’d’ certified with SIL 2 safety integrity level for hazardous area installation Zone 1 and 2.
The sensor transmitter offers linear, proportional analog output in industry standard current signals, over measuring range of 0 ~ 100 % LEL (lower explosive limit). The detector works on highly sensitive catalytic bead based pellistor sensor cell, with low response time.
It has unique feature of auto diagnostic watch dog with zero point tracking feature. Due to its 10-bit microprocessor based control unit, it offer high accuracy over long term. The detector is also equipped with sintered filter with flashback arrestor for enhanced safety.
It also offers optional features like inbuilt LCD display, flashing alarm LEDs, onboard potential free relay contacts (24VDC @ 1 A), RS485 serial interface with Modbus RTU communication.
