Q8

The Q8 Series of Explosion Proof Gas Detectors are used in applications that require a rugged enclosure that meets the Class 1 Division 2 requirements. Each unit comes standard with an integral clock, digital display of concentration, relay status, STEL, TWA, and peak daily values of the gas being detected. A three-color backlight will flash depending on the level of alarm for operator safety. Setup and calibration is accomplished through non-intrusive magnetic switches that allow for programming of all parameters. A remote sensor option is available for toxic and combustible gases and should be used in applications where the main unit can be mounted at 3 to 6 feet off of the floor with the remote sensor being at the ceiling or floor levels to monitor the gas concentrations depending on the gas being monitored. Sensor types include electrochemical and catalytic bead sensors to meet the demand and performance requirements for particular industries. The Q8 uses Optomux and Modbus RS-485 protocol, 4-20 mA, 1-5 or 2-10 VDC and 3 SPDT Form 1C user adjustable relay contacts.
