The TS4000 Intelligent Toxic Gas Detector, suitable for a wide range of industrial gases plus oxygen deficiency alarm, has received ATEX Approval for use in potentially explosive environments
Fast response high-temperature UV flame detector
With a UV flame sensor and advanced signal processing, the new GM FL3111HT operates in temperatures up to 125C (257F), making it suitable for use in demanding process and plant environments
All of the electronics are contained within an explosion-proof housing so that sensor information can be processed at the sensor site.
Additionally, the interface module has a galvanically isolated, intrinsically safe design, which allows sensor field replacement without special tools or hot work permits.
The TS4000 features one person calibration and can virtually self-calibrate by activating a magnetic switch and applying gas.

Process engineers who need to protect people and equipment will find that the new Model TS4000 Intelligent Gas Detector is ideal for chemical, oil/gas, wastewater and other hazardous environments.
Additional applications include public utilities, refineries, pharmaceuticals and food and beverage.
The TS4000 monitors a variety of toxic gases in the parts per million (ppm) range, including: ammonia, carbon monoxide, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen chloride, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, oxygen deficiency, ozone, and sulphur dioxide.
Customers using the TS4000 benefit from superior functionality.
The system displays gas concentrations up to 500 ppm, fault codes for troubleshooting, prompts when calibration is needed, and provides complete status to the control room.
Additionally, the TS4000 simplifies operation and maintenance and reduces downtime by providing remaining sensor life indication.
The TS4000 utilises an intelligent microprocessor-based design in an explosion-proof housing.
This 24 VDC-powered toxic gas detector is comprised of a base unit, sensor housing with interface module and electrochemical sensor.
The interface module processes information at the sensor site and communicates detected gas values to the base unit for data control and display.
By combining explosion-proof certification with intrinsically safe inputs, the TS4000 provides high performance in hazardous locations.
It can also be used for general-purpose, non-hazardous applications.
The TS4000 powerful capabilities complement General Monitors existing toxic gas detection series, joining the TS400 Toxic Gas Detector, TS420 Oxygen Deficiency Detector, IR7000 IR Carbon Dioxide Point Detector, MC600 Multi-Channel Controller and TA502A Trip Amplifier.
