Teledyne Detcon FP-524D Gas Detector | 0-100% LEL, 4-20mA, Explosion Proof
Teledyne Detcon FP-524D fixed-point combustible gas transmitter. Catalytic bead sensor, 0-100% LEL range, 4-20mA/HART output, Class I Div 1, IP66.
Product Overview
The Teledyne Detcon FP-524D is a fixed-mount combustible gas transmitter designed for continuous monitoring of explosive atmospheres in hazardous locations. It utilizes a matched-pair catalytic bead sensor (MicroSafe™ design) for detecting a wide range of flammable gases and vapors from 0 to 100% LEL. The unit features a non-intrusive, menu-driven calibration interface, 4-digit LED display, and is housed in an explosion-proof (NEMA 4X) enclosure suitable for harsh industrial environments like oil & gas and chemical plants.
