Transmitter
The robust hazardous area approved Apex
transmitter housing and mounting bracket is made
from 316 Stainless Steel. It has a large backlit LCD
display, simple 4 button operation,
3 fully configurable relay outputs and selectable
sink, source or isolated 4-20mA signal. The
transmitter is common to all types of sensor.
Sensor
The Apex Sensor can be mounted directly on the
transmitter or remotely up to 100m away. There are
two versions of sensor; one for both catalytic and
electrochemical type sensor cartridges and one for
the thick film (semi conductor) type cartridges.
Smart cartridge
The sensors can be fitted with a choice of over
40 toxic gas ranges and wide range of detectable
flammable gases. Each cartridge is pre calibrated
and simply plugs into the sensor. The Intrinsically
Safe design allows cartridges to be changed with
the unit under power. The transmitter recognizes a
newly fitted sensor cartridge and automatically
reads all the configuration information from it.
