The new GASMAX CX gas monitor from GDS Corp delivers quality, performance and advanced features for the most critical gas detection applications. Designed especially for situations where gas readings need to be transmitted in real time via a variety of communication options, the GASMAX CX includes dual 4-20mA outputs and built-in Ethernet port with MODBUS/TCP and web server. An optional output board incldues 4X alarm relays and dual serial MODBUS channels with data rates up to 115k bits per second.

Built-in dual channel electronics allow the GASMAX CX to support almost any combination of GDS Corp toxic, bridge or 4-20mA sensors. Channel 1 features a dedicated bridge input configuration for traditional direct catalytic bead sensors, and both channels support the new 10- 98xx digital output low-noise sensors. Built-in sensor monitoring circuitry detects sensor faults or warns of missing sensors.

The highly visible full color TFT backlit display makes the GASMAX CX gas monitor extremely easy to read and operate, and magnetic switches arranged around the screen allow users to perform calibrations or change settings without opening the enclosure. Bright flashing yellow or red alarm screens give users the ability to instantly recognize alarm conditions and take appropriate action.

The GASMAX CX carries a full two-year warranty and is fully CSA certified for use in Class I Division 1 hazardous areas.

The GDS-IR Infrared Gas Sensor uses proven, reliable infrared sensing technology to detect dangerous levels of carbon dioxide or explosive levels of methane, propane and other hydrocarbons. The GDS-IR sensor is CSA certified for use in Class 1 Division 1 explosive environ- ments and is CSA performance tested.

The GDS-IR infrared combustible gas sensor offers low total cost of ownership and a seventeen-year MTBF rating. Designed for especially harsh environments, the GDS-IR is virtually maintenance-free and immune to poisoning or etching by any known gas. The sensor element features a self-compensating optical bench, heated optical chamber and fault indication for all failure modes. The optical path can be easily opened for cleaning.

No periodic span calibrations are required. On initial setup and after each cleaning, a simple ‘auto zero’ procedure is used to establish proper operating conditions.

The GDS-IR can be calibrated to read a wide range of combustible hydrocarbons, including methane, propane, hexane, pentane, ethanol, Jet-A, isobutane, propylene and isoproply alcohol, as well as carbon dioxide to 5% by volume. GDS-IR sensors are factory programmed and calibrated when shipped and can be field programmed for alternate response curves. Both LEL and % by volume ranges are available.

When combined with the GASMAX II monitor, the duo provides local display, 4-20mA output with diagnostics, optional second electrochemical sensor, isolated 4-20mA outputs or MODBUS slave interface with programmable relays.

The GDS-IR is manufactured in the USA and includes a five year operational warranty. Applications include refineries, onshore and offshore drilling platforms, fuel loading docks, biogas processing, breweries, wastewater treatment facilities and natural gas storage and distribution.
