VA201T
The catalytic sensors of the 201T 
can be used to detect hundreds of 
different gases and inammable 
vapour concentrations
 

The 201T gas 
detection transmitter 
is designed to meet 
or exceed safety 
requirements in a 
variety of commercial 
and industrial 
applications.

The 201T series transmitters are 
able to detect a wide range of toxic 
and explosive gases. The 201T gas 
detection transmitter can work in an 
addressable network mode with the 
301C controller through an RS-485 
Modbus link. They can also be used 
in a stand-alone conguration with 
an optional 4-20mA or alarm relay 
outputs.
The catalytic sensors of the 201T 
can be used to detect hundreds of 
different gasses and inammable 
vapour concentrations. Toxic 
gasses are detected by way 
of electrochemical cells, while 
metal-air battery cells are used to 
detect oxygen. Moreover, a second 
generation of semi-conductor 
detectors offer a highly effective 
solution for a variety of different 
applications.
