New Generation Smart Gas Detector

Kimessa, a Swiss gas detection manufacturer are pleased to announce their new ‘Smart’ Ex Gas Detector (ATEX & IECEx) for a wide range of combustible or toxic gases.

Ex certified for IR, Catalytic, Electrochemical and Semiconductor sensors, featuring a built-in Zener barrier for the Ex ia toxic gas version. Low range toxic gas sensors may be incorporated to monitor for PH3,HCHO, BR2, Hbr, F2, H2O2, SO3, etc

Outputs include analogue 0-20mA, 4-20mA, digital CAN-BUS or Modbus RTU with optional relays (3). 24Vdc as standard with optional in-built power supply (85-265VAC).

The digital CAN BUS output option facilitates interfacing the Smart detector to the Kimessa CM gas monitor expandable for use with up to 128 detectors. Touch Screen displays with data logging, relays cards and the Kimessa web server for online monitoring, may also be added to the CAN BUS network, offering a comprehensive data suite to the client.

Replacement sensors are pre-calibrated and easily replaced in the field. An intuitive menu on the OLED display facilitates non-intrusive calibration via Hall Effect sensors and a magnet.

Michael Baumann, technical manager at Kimessa outlines the key benefits of the new Smart Ex detector.

“We have addressed key end user criteria such as reliability, simplicity of use, reduced installation costs, low cost of ownership, on line options for real time data display with logging and a comprehensive technical support team with a trained distributor network.

30 years interacting with our clients has guided us in the development of this new generation gas detector,” said Michael Baumann.
