Trolex launch intelligent gas sensor
New sensor features intelligent plug-in gas sensing modules
The new Sentro 1 from Trolex has intelligent plug-in gas sensing modules to provide safety monitoring of toxic and flammable gases in industrial applications with easy installation, rapid, cost-effective maintenance and the highest safety performance.
The advanced design technology uses pre-calibrated input eModules for monitoring a wide range of gases with each one storing all necessary data about type identification, sensing range and specific calibration.
Swift and simple re-calibration is crucial to efficient performance and safety and so the eModules can be substituted at any time by a replacement module without the need for a complex calibration procedure by a specialist technician.
The sensor integrates directly with other plant equipment and monitoring devices and is unmatched in its choice of direct fully conditioned output signals to satisfy most preferences.
The module can be calibrated by either replacing the module or applying test gas using the bayonet fixed gas hood and using the two-button remote IR Commander with no need to remove the unit cover.
The Sentro eModule for monitoring toxic gases present in the environment use electrochemical cells, combining good sensitivity at low gas concentrations with high range capability and stability. The poison-resistant, catalytic combustion sensor to monitor flammable gases present in the atmosphere has a long and reliable operating life with exceptional stability even in conditions of high vibration. The Sentro eModule for CO2 and methane gases uses a highly specific infrared sensor that can be calibrated equally well for low gas concentrations and high concentrations up to 100% by volume.
Built to withstand adverse conditions, Sentro 1 has a high-strength moulded housing with dual-wall construction for maximum impact strength. The housing is sealed against dust and moisture to IP65 standard and is EMC protected.
