Explosion-Protected Gas Transmitter Scores with Reliability, Compact Dimensions and Touch-Pad Control

The ADOS GTR 210 gas transmitter, from ADOS GmbH (Germany), is suitable for the continuous measurement of gases in normal areas as well as areas where there are risks of explosion.

By employing 6 different types of sensor, noxious, explosive and non-combustible gases and vapours can be measured.

The GTR 210 has been specifically designed for tough industrial applications. Thanks to a newly developed sensor encapsulation, the gas transmitter achieves the international protection mark IP66; a version with marine water resistivity is even available.

Operational temperature can be as high as 60°C. Besides, the device equipped with a pellistor sensing element or an infrared sensor complies with the safety standard SIL 1, and with the functional test according to EN 60079-29-1.

Display of the measured gas concentration and the adjustable alarm thresholds are shown on a multicoloured graphic display. The keyboard input is by way of a touchpad.

A generated current signal, proportional to the measured concentration of gas, is transmitted to an evaluation unit placed in a safe area, away from any dangers of explosion.

The type test of the explosion-protected gas transmitter, is completed by the DEKRA.ATEX test certificate: DEKRA 11 ATEX 0257 X, IECEx test certificate: IECEx DEK 11.0090 X,Type of protection: Ex d e ia mb IIC T4 Gb, SIL 1 & functional test: ATEX Certificate –> BVS 12 ATEX G 001 X.
