The GDS-48 is a three-wire remote sensor
for combustible, carbon dioxide or volatile
organic compounds that provides a low
impedance bridge-style output suitable for
long distance transmission to an appropri-
ate receiver device such as a C1 Protector,
C2 Protector, C2 Quad Protector Controller or GASMAX II gas monitor.
Wide Variety of Available Sensors
The GDS-48 is compatible with all GDS
Corp catalytic bead combustible, SmartIR
infrared combustible, SmartIR carbon
dioxide and photoionization detectors.
Sensors can be easily replaced in the field.
Interchangeable catalytic bead and infrared sensors allow users the opportunity to
switch between the two technologies with
minimal impact to controllers and wiring.
Volatile Organics
In today’s highly regulated environment,
monitoring for organic compounds, such
as benzene and low level gasoline vapors
is critical. The GDS-48 with photoionization detector is available in two ranges,
0-50 ppm and 0-300 ppm isobutylene
equivalent.
Rugged Detection
The GDS-48 encloses the sensor in a
stainless steel housing with integrated
flame arrestor that is CSA approved for
all Class I, Division 1 and 2 hazardous
environments.
Low Cost Solution
The GDS-48 is designed specifically to
work with GDS Corp controllers that
provide the necessary excitation voltage
and bridge-style interface circuitry, often
delivering the the lowest overall cost per
point. GDS Corp offers single, dual, four,
eight and sixteen channel controllers with
compatible bridge-style inputs suitable
for final calibration, alarm, display and
retransmission of monitored gas values.
Easy Installation
The GDS-48 includes an explosion proof
junction box with wiring terminals for
easy installation and maintenance. An
optional splash guard is recommended for
locations where water or liquid may be
present.
