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 />
