Dependable explosion proof gas detection for the harshest of environments

QEL’s new Q8 Series of explosion proof gas detectors are used for applications that require a more rugged enclosure and meet Class 1 Division 2 requirements. Each unit comes standard with a digital display of concentration, relay status, STEL, TWA and peak daily value of the gas detected as well as a built-in clock. A three-colour backlight will flash depending on the level of alarm for operator safety. Set-up and calibration is accomplished through non-intrusive hardware that allows programming of all parameters.

Remote sensors are available for all types of gases and the Q8 Series includes electrochemical, catalytic bead, and infrared technology to meet the demands and performance standards of particular industries. Communication is accomplished through Optomux and Modbus RS-485, 4-20 mA, and 3 user-programmable relay contacts. Remote explosion proof sensing is available for all types of sensing technologies.
