Model:SC2

Description

Electrochemical sensor including digital value processing and integrated self-diagnosis, for the continuous monitoring of the ambient air to detect toxic gases or oxygen.

The intelligent SC2 Sensor for detection of combustible gases or oxygen monitoring includes an electrochemical cell and electronics with a measuring amplifier and a µController for the digital processing of the measured values. All relevant data and measured values of the sensor are stored fail-safe in the internal memory of the µProcessor and are transmitted digitally to the Board (SB2, WSB2, MSC2, MSB2) via the MSR local bus. The maintenance of a device can be done either by simply exchanging the sensor or by using the integrated, comfortable calibration routine directly at the system.


NOTE: Wide range of Gas Sensors available. Please contact us to discuss your requirements. Price given is for standard range LPG, Methane or Propane.

Features

  • Digital measurement value processing incl. temperature compensation
  • Internal functional control with integrated Watchdog
  • Easy maintenance and calibration by exchange of the sensor or by comfortable on-site calibration
  • High accuracy, selectivity and reliability
  • Low zero-point drift
  • Sensor with long life expectancy (depending on gas type)
  • Hardware and software according to SIL compliant development process
  • Reverse polarity protected, overload and short-circuit proof
  • IP65 protection (when installed)

Gases available include (some have a number of ranges or sensor lifetimes):
Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen Monoxide (NO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Oxygen (O2), Ozone (O3), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Ammonia (NH3), Formaldehyde (CH2O), Hydrogen Chloride (HCL), Ethylene (C2H4), Chlorine (Cl2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Methane (CH4), Propane (C3H8), Freon Gases (R134a etc), LPG, Hydrogen (H2) and more.

Poisoning  Semiconductor sensors can be poisoned by silicone-containing substances or other catalyst poisons, up to complete loss of sensitivity. Their sensitivity is irreversibly impaired by halogen-containing compounds.

1 If stocked for a longer period, we recommend checking the zero point and recalibrating if necessary

2 A deviating storage temperature can have a negative effect on sensitivity and service life.
3 If stocked for a longer period, we recommend checking the zero point and recalibrating if necessary.
Expected service life for normal ambient conditions.
Manufacturer-recommended calibration intervals for normal environmental conditions

Semiconductor sensors that have been exposed to an increased gas concentration (> ½ full scale value) during normal measuring operation must be replaced without fail.
