Crowcon F-Gas Detector Datasheet

Crowcon F-Gas Detector Fixed Point Gas Detectorsl Long-life IR sensorl Highly reliablel Low maintenance costs When lives and property are at risk and you need gas detection equipment that is totally reliable, you need Crowcon. For over 40 years Crowcon has been developing and manufacturing high quality products with a reputation for reliability and technical innovation.Crowcon fixed detectors have been proven in many arduous environments, including oil and gas exploration, water treatment, steel and chemical plants. The Crowcon F-Gas detector provides dependable detection of refrigerant gases and sulphur hexafluoride in plant-room or switchgear applications.The Crowcon F-Gas detector is a high quality infrared (IR) fixed-point detector that delivers dependable detection of freon gases. Available for detecting a range of different refrigerant gases and also sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), the Crowcon F-Gas detector can be connected to any control system that accepts an analogue signal.The Crowcon F-Gas detector utilises a high quality IR sensor specifically calibrated to detect the F-Gases commonly in use. The F-Gas detector operates from 24Vdc and provides a 4-20mA signal (the output can also be set to 0-20mA, 0-2V, 0-5V or 0-10Vdc). Housed within an IP54 rugged enclosure, the F-Gas detector is suitable for use in non-hazardous areas such as plant rooms or switchgear rooms. In addition to protecting personnel from toxic gas risks, installing the F-Gas detector also helps to reduce the risk of leakage of powerful ‘greenhouse gases’ into the environment.Choosing the fixed gas detector for your needsF-Gas Detector Refrigerant Gas and SF6 DetectorGas diffusion area to IR sensorStatus LED’sFunction KeysPlease see the back page for full technical specifications.Calibration adaptorEnables calibration gas to be applied to the sensor. Calibration gas and regulatorsFreon gases and SF6 are available to enable sensor checking and calibration. F-Gas detector accessoriesProvides fast, stable and dependable performance with low maintenance and long life. Unlike cheaper semi-conductor type sensors the F-Gas detector is not affected by other types of gas or changes in temperature or humidity.Accurate and reliableSuperior IR sensor technologyEnables F-Gas suppliers and users to comply with the mandatory European F-Gas regulations. Provides an early warning that gas is leaking and thus maintains system efficiency and reduces expensive gas replacement costs.Helps to reduce the risk of leakage of powerful ‘greenhouse gases’ into the environment.Safety and complianceF-Gas regulations compatibleRapid gas leak detectionEnvironmental protectionSimple and versatileLED indicatorsChoice of output signalsTri-coloured LED’s indicate the operating status of the detector, and in combination with the function keys, facilitate simple adjustments such as zero and calibration.The analogue output signal can be set as 4-20mA, 0-20mA, 0-2V, 0-5V or 0-10Vdc for compatibility with virtually any control system.Provides many years of service with no requirement to replace the sensor or any other components.Requires a bi-annual gas check only. Re-calibration is only necessary if readings are out of range.Provides good protection from dust and water ingress in indoor environments.Long life with low maintenance costsNo consumable partsSimple to testIP54 rated enclosurewww.crowcon.com UK:Tel: +44 (0) 1235 557700Fax: +44 (0) 1235 557718Email: sales@crowcon.comUS:Tel: +1 859 957 1039Toll Free: 800-527-6926Fax: +1 513 957-1044Email: salesusa@crowcon.usNL:Tel: +31 10 421 1232Fax: +31 10 421 0542Email: eu@crowcon.comSG:Tel: +65 6745 2936Fax: +65 6745 0467Email: sales@crowcon.com.sgCN:Tel: +86 (0) 10 6787 0335Fax: +86 (0) 10 6787 4879Email: saleschina@crowcon.comIN:Tel: +91 22 6708 0400Fax: +91 22 6708 0405Email: salesindia@crowcon.comCrowcon reserves the right to change the design or specification of the product without notice.Please check www.crowcon.com for updates.
