Alarm and Control System Receives CE Mark

Detcon’s (USA) Model X40 NEMA 4X version alarm and control system has received CE Mark approval and now complies with European Union health and safety requirements. The rugged, power efficient controller, designed to monitor gas detection sensors and a wide range of other field devices, can receive and supervise 4-20mA or RS-485 using Detcon's serial output sensors. The controller functions as a Modbus Master and can be customised and expanded to monitor up to 32 field devices using Detcon’s stackable din-rail mounted I/O modules. All I/O modules are individually addressable and operate on 11.5-30VDC. Detcon I/O modules provide for digital and analogue inputs as well as alarm relay and analogue outputs. They can be remotely installed to simplify field wiring.

The Model X40 is completely field programmable and offers advanced technology with intuitive, embedded intelligence. Among the system’s unique features is a wireless option that can be used with Detcon’s CXT SmartWireless gas detection product line. Enclosure options include: NEMA 4X, NEMA 7, and NEMA 1 panel mount.
