Intrinsically Safe Fixed Gas Detectors FGD3 Description：

Datasheet

Fitted with Infrared, Catalytic or EC Sensor for Flammable or Toxic Gases

Features

Intrinsically safe when used in conjunction with a safety barrier

Plug-in replaceable sensors

Digital display of gas reading

Optional weatherguard

Single operator calibration

Industry standard 4 to 20 mA output

Our intrinsically safe fixed gas detector is intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere where, due to the nature of the environment or the industrial process taking place, there is the risk of an incendive spark from electrical apparatus causing an explosion.

These gas detectors are designed so that the energy produced in the event of an electrical fault is insufficient to cause an incendive spark.
