When safety is on the line, precision and flexibility are non-negotiable. That\u2019s where the B14 Gas Alarm Module Receiver<\/strong> steps in. Designed for seamless integration into any gas detection system, the B14 accepts input from either two, three, or four-wire 4-20mA transmitters\u2014located up to 10,000 feet away<\/strong>\u2014making it an ideal solution for remote monitoring in multi-room setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re monitoring industrial gas levels across a facility or maintaining air quality in multiple isolated environments, the B14 provides centralized alarm, display, and retransmission functions<\/strong> for up to 38 different gases. It\u2019s a smart, scalable tool engineered for reliability and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Choose the B14?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The B14 is your all-in-one monitoring hub. It displays real-time gas concentrations<\/strong>, receives remote input from a wide array of sensors (even if they lack displays themselves), and provides configurable alarms and relays<\/strong> to keep your team informed and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connects to a Wide Range of Sensors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Compatible with transmitters located up to 10,000 feet away, the B14 brings multiple gas signals to a single, easy-to-monitor location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supports 38 Gases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From toxic to combustible gases, the B14 can be calibrated to monitor a wide variety of gases and ranges. Perfect for facilities that require diverse detection capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Key Features at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LED Display<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gas concentrations are displayed in PPM, PPB, % volume, or % LEL<\/strong>, depending on your configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Triple Alarm Setpoints<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each module includes three user-defined alarm levels<\/strong>: caution, warning, and alarm. LED indicators flash on initial alarm and go steady during an active alarm condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Configurable Relay Outputs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each alarm level is backed by its own relay output<\/strong>, which can be reassigned to create multiple responses to a single condition. Options include standard\/fail-safe and latching\/non-latching<\/strong> operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dedicated Trouble Alarm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The B14 monitors itself, too. A separate LED bar and relay activate if the input signal is lost<\/strong> or falls below a threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote Acknowledgment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Easily acknowledge alarms from a distance<\/strong> using an unpowered switch input\u2014ideal for integration with telemetry systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built-in Transmitter Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No external power supply needed for your sensors\u2014the B14 provides 24 VDC<\/strong> to power 2- or 3-wire transmitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signal Retransmission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each module offers optically isolated 4-20mA output<\/strong>, minimizing ground fault risks during signal retransmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Versatile Power Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The B14 runs on 12 VDC<\/strong>, with optional supplies available. One supply can power up to three modules (or two if battery backup is used). Custom 12\u201328 VDC power sources are also supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Flexible Mounting Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your B14 setup is built around your needs. Choose from NEMA 4X enclosures<\/strong> in multiple configurations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
