1.1 Intrinsically safe toxic and oxygen gas detector<br />
This version of <strong>Xgard</strong> is an Intrinsically safe loop-powered (current-sink) 4-20 mA toxic<br />
or oxygen gas detector, designed to detect a wide range of gases when fitted with the<br />
appropriate electrochemical sensor. The detector is certified II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4, and is<br />
suitable for use in Zone 0, Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas when used with a suitable<br />
Zener barrier or galvanic isolator.<br />
Electrical connections to the detector are made via the terminal block on the amplifier PCB<br />
shown below. The amplifier provides power to the sensor, and converts the sensor signal<br />
into a 4-20 mA signal for connection to a control panel.<br />
