The economical, permanently installed CO-Sensor/transmitter and CO-Monitor are characterised by their stable measurements, simple and secure operation, robustness and compact construction.
These devices conform to the explosion protection rating of intrinsic safety „i“, catagory I M1 EEx ia I,. This means that this device can be used in the zone M1 of underground mines, even when unpermitted high concentrations of the methane gas are prevailing.
This certification conforms to the ATEX directive 94/9/EG for devices and protective systems permitted for use in areas endangered by explosions.
The CO-Monitor differs from the CO-sensor/transmitter because of an additional limit value unit which is equipped with optocouplers or relays.
The measurement of the carbon monoxide concentration in the sensor block is by means of an electrochemical sensor. The gas diffuses into the measuring chamber through a sinter metal disc. To increase the measurement accuracy, a microcontroller continously compensates the prevailing temperature and air-pressure values. The gas supply of the suction pipe is achieved by an adapter with diffusion tube. The adapter contains a dust filter and a connection for the test gases.
The operation of the device is very simple: The operator places a small magnetic press button unit on the device. The housing need not be opened. As an alternative he can also use a magnetic pointer. A four digit code which can be entered initially, protects against unauthorized changing of the set values. A self monitoring microcontroller system not only processes the measurement values precisely, it also carries out the operator specific instructions such as the entry of the code, signal instructions and messages, analog and digital outputs and test functions etc. A four digit back lit graphic display shows the measured values in 12 mm high digits.
These devices are protected against shocks, dust and humidity by a cast metal housing (impact strength 20 Joule) and are to be connected by means of a plug-in connector. The sensor block with the CO-sensor is attached on the lower side of the housing.
The adapter can be used for the mounting of the device. Alternatively a steel hanger or thread holes on its rear side can also be used for the mounting.
