SensAlert ASI Fixed Point Gas Detector

Advanced Safety Integrity, SIL-2 Certified, Intrinsically Safe

Product Description

Advanced Gas Detection

Advanced Safety Integrity – The best solution for gas detection in critical safety applications.

The SensAlert ASI is a gas detection system designed for critical safety applications where protecting personnel, processes, and facilities is paramount. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

Safety and Reliability

  • SIL-2 Certified: Independently certified to meet IEC61508 Level 2 (SIL-2) for both hardware and software, ensuring the highest level of functional safety.
  • Global Approvals: Meets global hazardous area and performance standards.
  • Test-on-Demand: Built-in gas generator allows for remote functionality checks, verifying system integrity without exposing personnel to actual gas.
  • Predictive Sensor End-of-Life: Provides advanced warning of sensor failure, enabling proactive maintenance and preventing unexpected downtime.

Versatility

  • Universal Platform: Supports various sensor types (infrared, catalytic bead, electrochemical) for detecting a wide range of gases, including combustible, toxic, exotic gases, and oxygen level variations.
  • Flexible Installation: Intrinsically safe or explosion-proof configurations allow for placement in hazardous environments. Options for remote sensors, duct mounting, and sample draw provide adaptability to diverse application needs.
  • Remote Sensor Mounting: The sensor head can be positioned near potential hazards up to 100 feet away from the transmitter, which can be located in a safe and easily accessible area.

Ease of Use

  • Simplified Installation: Common installation procedures for all sensor types with vertical or horizontal mounting options. Removable terminal blocks make wiring and commissioning effortless.
  • Transportable Calibration: Sensors can be calibrated and alarms set up in a safe zone before being installed in the intrinsically safe sensor head, eliminating the need to de-classify the area or interrupt power.
  • Plug-and-Play Operation: Sensors automatically upload operating parameters and diagnostics upon installation, saving time and minimizing configuration errors.
  • Sensor Calibration & Exchange Program: Offers convenient delivery of pre-calibrated sensors, reducing maintenance and supply costs.
