| TS4000/MC600 Toxic Gas Detection System
Representing the next generation in toxic gas detection, the General Monitors TS4000 Toxic Gas Monitoring System from Electrasem combines a highly intelligent microprocessor-based design with reliable and rugged electrochemical sensors in an explosion-proof housing. The intrinsically-safe design of the TS4000's interface module supports sensor field replacement without the need for special tools or hot work permits. The TS4000 monitors toxic gases in the parts per million (ppm) range. It offers many features, such as remote mounting up to 2,000 feet, dual redundant MODBUS communications, 8 amp relays, three-digit display, 4-20mA output, and indication of remaining sensor life. The TS4000 features one person calibration and virtually self-calibrates by activating a magnetic switch and applying gas. When the TS4000 is integrated with the MC600 Multichannel Controller it offers exceptional versatility as a total toxic gas monitoring solution. Up to 127 controllers can be linked to monitor up to 762 points of toxic or combustible gas with the MC600. The MC600 includes dual RS-485 serial communications and MODBUS compatibility. It features six user configurable relays and up to three zones with selectable zoning and independent voting. Its modular design featuring plug-in signal cards along with removable terminal blocks simplifies installation wiring and testing. --- Electrasem
