NEW GAS DETECTION DEVICE FOR MONITORING TOXIC AND OXYGEN GASES

Honeywell (UK) recently announced the launch of the Signalpoint Pro, an Intrinsically Safe (IS) certified gas detector that offers a low-cost solution for the detection of toxic and oxygen gases in potentially explosive atmospheres worldwide.

Signalpoint Pro is suited to a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications, detecting toxic gases or Oxygen in an IS 2-wire 4-20mA format. This wiring configuration makes the

Signalpoint Pro ideal for retrofitting other 2-wire IS devices including the Sieger Series 2000 range of 2-wire IS toxic gas detectors.

The device offers excellent reliability and ease of use; its smart gas sensors are automatically recognised when plugged into the detector and access to the sensor does not require opening the main terminal housing. This reduces down-time during sensor replacement procedures.

The detector full scale gas range and span calibration points can be adjusted to suit individual requirements, making Signalpoint Pro a flexible device suited to a wide range of applications.

Signalpoint Pro utilises a magnetically activated switch, permitting initiation of calibration and test routines without opening the enclosure or having to obtain a hot work permit.

In addition, on-board diagnostics provide fault and warning codes on the display that are invaluable when troubleshooting an installation.
