Gas detection controller secures CSA approval

Oldham, a company within the 3M Personal Safety Division, is pleased to announce that the MX 32 gas detection controller has been certified by Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and now carries the CSA mark of approval. The MX 32 has been certified for use in ‘ordinary locations’ according to CSA standards C22.2 No. 0-10, 61010-12 and UL 61010-1.

The MX 32 is a compact, low-profile controller that continuously monitors multiple gas detection sensors. The versatile control system is designed to receive and supervise up to 8 inputs using either Wheatstone bridge mV DC sensors, 4-20mA DC or Serial RS-485 Modbus™. It can be customised and expanded based on individual application needs using Oldham’s stackable din-rail mounted I/O modules. Modules can be installed remotely to simplify field wiring and reduce costs. All modules are also covered by the CSA certification.

The MX 32 comes with several unique features such as graphic display, voting function, gas measurement, event data logging, RS 485 output and on-board A/V alarms. It is completely field programmable using COM 32, an advanced and intuitive programming software.
