· Offers Highly Reliable Protection in Confined Spaces

· Ideal for Use in Wastewater Treatment Facilities, Utility Vaults, Sewers, Tunnels, Storage Tanks, Boilers and More

Designed to monitor and detect oxygen depletion continuously in tightly confined spaces, the TS420 Oxygen Deficiency Detector packs many features into one of the industry's smallest packages. Featuring an electrochemical cell sensing element, a two-wire loop-powered design and adjustment-free calibration, the TS420 delivers highly reliable protection in potentially reduced oxygen environments. It offers lower maintenance costs and an extended life, setting a new standard for value.

Confined space accidents are preventable with proper monitoring devices, such as the TS420 Oxygen Deficiency Detector. The TS420 is ideal for applications that include: water treatment facilities, refineries, manholes, sewers, boilers, silos, vessels, vats, pipelines, tunnels, storage tanks, and underground vaults. These environments are all notorious for rapidly changing atmospheric conditions that can endanger the lives of construction and maintenance staff.

Slight decreases to normal atmospheric oxygen content, which typically ranges from 15 - 19 percent by volume, cause impaired coordination and circulation. Depletion to the 12 - 14 % by volume level impairs respiration and judgment, in volumes of 8 - 10% unconsciousness occurs, and in 6 - 8% and below, death occurs in a matter of minutes. Detectors like the TS420 save lives. With its compact size measuring just 1.75 by 4.5 inches and weighing only 8 oz. the rugged TS420 is well suited to confined areas where space is in short supply. A two-wire loop-powered 4-20mA analog output signal provides remote alarm and fault indication, as well as eliminating the need for an output loop supply, which reduces installation and cabling costs. The TS420's versatile Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows status, fault and calibration cues for added safety.

Utilizing electrochemical cell technology, the TS420 detects oxygen deficiency from 0 to 25 percent by volume. Encapsulated in a chemically resistant housing, the TS420 processes atmospheric conditions at the point of detection for up-to date accurate information. Advanced electronics permit adjustment-free calibration, which reduces set-up and maintenance time for a lower total cost of ownership over the lifetime of the instrument.

A variety of accessories are available for the Model TS420, including a field-mounted display, flow block, splash-guard, dust-guard, plastic junction box, aluminum junction box and calibration kits. To support global applications, the TS420 features universal product approvals: UL, CUL, CSA, CENELEC and CE Marking.
