AT-GAS/B/CH4 - Methane Concentration Sensor

The AT‑GAS/B/CH4 is an intrinsically safe device for continuous monitoring of methane concentration.

ATUT Gas Detection System – AT-GAS/B/CH4 Methane Concentration Sensor

// DESCRIPTION

What it is

The AT‑GAS/B/CH4 is designed for demanding industrial conditions, including hazardous areas with potentially explosive atmospheres. The terminal compartment is fitted with terminals and a cable gland for easy connection of power and signal lines to host systems, controllers, and other devices with a compatible data interface. 

Its enclosure houses the electronics and a built‑in measuring transducer that delivers precise measurement and converts the measured value into a digital signal transmitted over an RS485 interface. 

The device is part of the AT‑GAS measurement and visualization system, which consists of the AT‑GAS/A and the AT‑GAS/B/CH4.
