Gas and Chemical Sensors / Detectors
Gas Detection System uses plug-in memory stick.
Press Release Summary:
Coupling SEC 3000 Sensor with SEC 3100 Transmitter, Gas Detection System reacts instantly to dangerous gas levels, protecting areas where flammable or poisonous gases are potential danger. Transmitter shows actual gas levels in ppm or % LEL on digital screen, while memory stick logs permanent record of gas levels, remembering times, concentrations, trouble signals, and service interruptions. At setpoint, integral relays can trigger alarms, turn on supply/exhaust fans, or shut down lines.
Original Press Release:
SEC 3000 + SEC 3100 Gas-Detection Team Has Plug-In Memory
A sophisticated new gas-detection team that couples an SEC 3000 sensor with an SEC 3100 transmitter to "see" even traces of toxic gas concentrations has been announced by Sensor Electronics of Minneapolis.
Engineered to protect areas where flammable or poisonous gases are a potential danger, this new sensor/transmitter team reacts instantly to dangerous gas levels.
The factory-tuned sensor works in tandem with its digital transmitter, which incorporates a plug-in memory stick.
Like an airliner's black box, the memory stick logs a permanent record of actual gas levels, remembering times, concentrations, trouble signals, service interruptions and the like.
The memory stick is easily pulled from the transmitter to download data to a computer for retrieval and analysis.
The SEC 3100 transmitter shows actual gas levels - in PPM or per cent LEL - on a digital screen. Brilliant "traffic lights" - color-coded LEDs - change from green to yellow to red as gas concentrations rise, reverse colors as they drop. At a setpoint, integral relays can trigger alarms, turn on supply/exhaust fans, shut down lines, or whatever.
The transmitter even keeps a beady eye on itself: The LEDs turn blue to warn of troubles anywhere in the system, and then the digital display spells out what's wrong where.
To switch gas sensors the transmitter needs no setup time, no reprogramming, and no recalibration. With an optional IS barrier, sensors can be changed without cutting system power.
The sensor/transmitter pair shrug off temperature/humidity extremes (-40/160 degrees Fahrenheit, 0/99 per cent RH) and automatically compensate for wide temperature swings.
The cylindrical stainless-steel sensor measures 2 inches diameter, 3 inches deep. The explosion-proof transmitter is 5 inches high/wide/deep. Sensors can be coupled directly to transmitters, or be up to 1000 feet apart.
