Directive, included functional performances, moreover they are in
conformity to SIL 2, being suitable to be part of safety systems.
RAS-AD
Aluminium or Stainless Steel
Explosion Proof housing
– Ideal to detect combustible or
toxic gases and solvents
– Sensors with strong poison
resistant properties
Bluetooth
Thanks to introduction of Modbus or Bluetooth protocols it is possible to establish a direct communication between the sensor and your PC, PDA or Mobile Phone.
This features allow you a complete control of all sensor’s functional parameters such as Zero, Span, Sensitivity, Alarm Thresholds TWA, STEL and Download maintenance
operations reports or events Log.
