Incus Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector
FGD-PDS-Incus-Ultrasonic-Gas-Leak-Detector
Incus Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector
Wide Area Coverage for Pressurized Gas Leaks
The Incus is an advanced gas leak detector that
uses four sensitive acoustic sensors to monitor
wide areas for the ultrasound generated from
pressurized gas releases.
Ideally suited for monitoring ventilated outdoor applications,
the Incus has been engineered to withstand extreme
conditions. Detection is unaffected by inclement weather, wind,
leak direction, or gas dilution, with fast speed of response.
Instantaneous response to all gas leaks
(toxic, combustible, or inert).
Operates in extreme temperatures.
Automated electronic self-test offers failsafe operation.
Widest area of coverage through four independent sensors
4–20 mA analog or stepped and HART® communication
protocol.
Certied worldwide for hazardous locations.
Innovative mapping tool helps optimize coverage for a
target risk.
Programmable time delays screen intermittent unwanted
alarm sources.
Four multi-directional sensor heads
Quad sensing heads provide the widest overall detection range
available on the market. The sensing heads are independent
with the detector output being based on the highest ultrasound
measured by any one head. If one or more sensing heads fails,
complete coverage is not lost.
Sensor design - they Just keep working
Each sensor is completely free of moving parts and will not age,
drift, or ever need replacing under normal operating conditions.
The sensors provide maintenance free protection with proven
reliability.
Continuous self-test ensures
instrument health
Electronic self-test checks the detector every 320 ms by
sending an amplitude signal through the sensing circuitry.
The sensor suffers no loss of detection while in test mode in
contrast to those based on diaphragm microphones.

Field-proven ultrasonic sensor principle
Incus responds to the ultrasound produced by pressurized
gas releases, a technology proven with hundreds of detectors
installed worldwide.
Sealed sensor housing
Piezoceramic sensor heads have no moving parts and can
therefore be completely sealed against moisture, corrosive
atmospheres, and industrial contaminants.
Built for extreme conditions
The Incus is designed to operate at -40 °C to +85 °C (-40 °F to
+185 °F)and may be supplied for monitoring areas of regard
at -55 °C (-67 °F). Corrosion resistant stainless steel housing is
standard, units are ingress rated to IP66/67 or NEMA Type 4X.

Ultrasonic detection overview
Ultrasonic (acoustic) gas leak detection technology functions
through the constant monitoring of wide areas by advanced
acoustic sensors specially tuned to process ultrasound emitted
from pressurized gas leaks. Ultrasonic gas leak detectors
do not have to wait until a hazardous gas concentration has
accumulated or the gas cloud has made physical contact with
a sensor. In addition, the response is instantaneous for all gas
types (Figure 1).
Simply put, the ultrasonic gas leak detector only triggers an
alarm when inaudible, ultrasound is detected (between 25 and
100 kHz), which is only produced with the release of highly
pressurized gas (Figure 2). This makes for reliable and efcient
detection; since ultrasonic gas leak detectors are immune to
poisoning, it never requires eld calibration, and all intermittent
sources of background ultrasound noises may be ignored by
time delay settings.

The Incus detects gas leaks at the speed of sound while
providing wide area coverage. It is unaffected by inclement
weather, wind, leak direction, and gas dilution or stratication.
When used with Emerson’s point gas and optical ame
detectors, a complete and comprehensive safety system is
ensured (Figure 3).
