Government and military facility engineers and managers responsible for operations where employees may accidentally be exposed to toxic gases, such as ammonia, carbon monoxide, chlorine, nitric oxide, oxygen deficiency, ozone, sulfur dioxide and more, will find the new General Monitors TS4000 Intelligent Toxic Gas Detector from Electrasem is now available for government applications via the GSA Advantage Program. It delivers highly reliable protection with superior intelligence, flexibility and low cost of ownership.
Representing the next generation in toxic gas detection systems, the advanced TS4000 Toxic Gas Detector combines a highly intelligent microprocessor-based design with exceptionally reliable and rugged electrochemical sensors in an explosion-proof housing. The intrinsically-safe design of the TS4000's interface module supports sensor field replacement without the need for special tools or hot work permits.
Toxic gas leaks at government and military facilities pose a hazard to employees and equipment. Leak sources typically include laboratories, pipelines, valves, tanks, burners, freezers, underground vaults and other confined spaces. The distributed layout of equipment within large facilities with complex operations often makes fixed toxic gas detectors a highly practical solution to hazardous environments.
The TS4000 monitors toxic gases in the parts per million (ppm) range. It offers many sophisticated features, such as long distance remote mounting up to 2,000 feet, dual redundant MODBUS communications, 8 amp relays, three-digit display, 4-20mA output, and indication of remaining sensor life. The TS4000 features one person calibration and can virtually self-calibrate by activating a magnetic switch and applying gas.
The TS4000 Intelligent Toxic Gas Detector displays gas concentrations up to 500 ppm, fault codes for troubleshooting, and provides complete status to the Control Room. Up to 128 units can be linked via the dual-redundant Modbus output (247 with repeaters). Additionally, the TS4000 simplifies operation and maintenance and reduces downtime by providing remaining sensor life indication.
