ATEX gas detector January 1st 2006 The new, ATEX-certified Xgard Type 4 gas detector from Crowcon is designed to quickly detect flammable gases in high temperature applications (up to 150°C) such as gas turbines or gas-fired drying ovens.
The device is suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. Its sensor contains poison-resistant catalytic beads that can detect hydrocarbons at high temperatures.
With a life of up to five years, the Xgard Type 4's sensor has a 316 stainless steel housing, with the choice of a marine grade aluminium or 316 stainless steel junction box for corrosion resistance in extreme environments.
The aluminium junction box is protected by a tough polyester coating. Both types of box have lugs for both wall and ceiling mounting, removing the need for additional brackets. A choice of four cable gland sizes allows easy installation on site.
