Features and Overview:
Flexible Component System:
The GasSens A14/A11 operates on a modular system, allowing for flexibility and customization to meet specific gas detection needs. This adaptability makes it suitable for applications ranging from simple to complex gas detection scenarios.
Economical and Low Maintenance:
This gas detection system is not only cost-effective but also boasts low maintenance requirements. The modular design enables easy replacement of individual components, minimizing downtime and reducing operational costs.
Individual Modules:
The GasSens system comprises individual modules strategically placed where gas leakage or buildup might occur. Sensor/transmitters, available in NEMA 4X or explosion-proof versions, play a crucial role by providing basic measurements for the system.
Auto-Test Automatic Gas Sensor Testing System:
An exclusive feature offered by ATI is the Auto-Test automatic gas sensor testing system. This significantly reduces operator testing requirements, ensuring that the sensors are functioning optimally with minimal manual intervention.
Options and Customization:
The GasSens A14/A11 offers a variety of options to customize the system according to specific application requirements. Some notable options include:
- Audible Alarm: Integrated beeper-style alarm for audible alerts.
