Gas Detector uses existing 2-wire systems.
February 27, 2007 -
Featuring explosion-proof, intrinsically safe design, Series 3000 XPIS monitors for toxic and oxygen gas hazards in potentially flammable environments. Remote sensor can be mounted up to 50 ft away from detector. IS transmitter/sensor connection allows hot swap of sensors without powering down device, while magnetic user interface permits configuration and calibration without opening enclosure. Onboard diagnostics provide useful information during operation and fault finding routines.

Honeywell Analytics Launches Versatile Gas Detector For Two-Wire Systems In Flammable Environments
Lincolnshire, IL - Honeywell Analytics, the world's leading manufacturer of gas detection systems, introduces the Series 3000 XPIS (Explosion Proof, Intrinsically Safe) gas detector. The Series 3000 XPIS is a robust gas detector that utilizes existing two-wire systems to monitor for toxic and oxygen gas hazards in potentially flammable environments.
The device's Intrinsic Safety (IS) and Explosion Proof hazardous area approval allows the Series 3000 XPIS to be wired alongside other field wiring without IS certification. This removes the need for cable segregation as required by IS certified detectors, making the Series 3000 XPIS both a cost-effective and versatile device suited to a range of different applications.
Operating on a standard 2-wire 4-20mA loop that makes it suitable for new and retrofit applications including the Sieger Series 2000 range of two-wire toxic gas detectors, the Series 3000 serves a variety of demanding industrial environments: exploration and drilling platforms, production platforms, onshore oil and gas terminals, refineries and chemical plants; power plants, waste water facilities, utilities and others.
The Series 3000 XPIS requires minimal sensor replacement/downtime. Its IS transmitter/sensor connection allows the "hot swap" of sensors without needing to power down the device itself. Series 3000 XPIS also utilizes a magnetic user interface, permitting configuration and calibration without needing to open the enclosure or having to obtain a hot work permit. The gas sensors available for the Series 3000 XPIS include Oxygen, Hydrogen Sulfide, Carbon Monoxide, Ammonia and Sulfur
Dioxide. Future releases will include Chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide, Nitrogen Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Hydrogen, Hydrogen Chloride, Hydrogen Cyanide, Hydrogen Fluoride, Ozone and Phosphine, which will follow after the initial product launch.
Series 3000 XPIS uses smart gas sensors that configure automatically when they are plugged into the device. Onboard diagnostics also provide a wealth of useful information during operation and fault finding routines, plus the patented "Reflex" sensors test algorithms to ensure sensing elements are fitted and operational at all times.
The remote sensor can actually be mounted up to 50 feet away from the detector making the Series 3000 XPIS the ideal choice for applications where the point of detection is in an area that is not easily accessible or where the detector would not be visible e.g. in high or low level concealed areas or outside a room being monitored.
The Series 3000 XPIS is UL and CSA certified. It is available through the Honeywell Analytics representative network.
