DESCRIPTION
The Net Safety Monitoring Inc. SO -100 Electrochemical SO Detector consists of an explosion-proof
enclosure, which contains sensor electronic circuitry and an electrochemical SO sensing elem ent. This
SO sensor provides continuous m onitoring of sulphur dioxide (SO ) concentrations in the range of 0 to
22
22
2
100 parts per million (PPM) (optional 10 and 20 PPM). The sensor can be used with one of the Net Safety
Monitoring Inc. Uni-Trol™ Controllers or Display Modules, or it can be used with other devices that are
capable of monitoring a 4 to 20 mA dc input and allow for calibration. The explosion-proof sensor is CSA
certified for hazardous locations for Class 1, Division 1, Groups C and D.
FEATURES
< Electrochem ical sensor for increased accuracy and reliability.
< High specificity to SO reduces the chance of false alarms resulting from the presence of other gasses.
< Temperature compensation to ensure consistent performance over the entire operating temperature
range.
< Self-contained transmitter circuitry permits use without a separate transmitter.
< Explosion-proof housing.
< EMI/RFI hardening.
