Michell XTC501 Thermal Conductivity Analyzer Description：

User's Manual Datasheet

Hydrogen, Binary Gas and Gas Mixtures Measurement

Features

Compact, lightweight and easy to install

Intuitive user interface

Tough IP55 housing

Low cost of ownership due to minimal maintenance

Measurement ranges from 0 to 5% up to 0...100 % and 50/80/90...100 %

Accuracy of better than ±1 % full scale

2 x 4...20 mA outputs and Modbus RTU over RS485 as standard

A lightweight and compact binary gas analyzer for measuring gas mixtures – such as air in argon or carbon dioxide in air. Suitable for installation in safe areas the XTC501 has a tough, IP55-rated housing. Available with an optional display and 4-button interface, the analyzer is easy to install, configure and operate.

Because the thermal conductivity sensor has no consumable parts and will last the lifetime of the analyzer, XTC501 has a competitively low lifetime cost of ownership and is simple to maintain.
