S4000C Intelligent
Combustible Gas Detector
With its highly intelligent microprocessor-based design, the General
Monitors S4000C Combustible Gas Detectors from Electrasem are suitable
for use in Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 applications commonly found in
a wide range of demanding applications where the potential presence of
dangerous hydrocarbon-based combustible gas is a threat to people,
equipment and facilities.
The S4000C Detector is a hydrocarbon gas detector that is suitable for
SIL Level 3 applications and is FM, CSA, ATEX, CE Marking and GOST
approved. It features a three-digit display and an explosion-proof
housing, which allows all data to be processed locally at the sensor
site. The S4000C is also available with an optional relay
configuration that is appropriate for SIL Level 2 processes.
With its highly reliable catalytic bead sensor, the S4000C Detector
monitors combustible gas and vapors within the lower explosive limit
(LEL) and provides status indication and alarm outputs. When the sensor
detects gas, it initiates a 4-20mA alarm signal that is proportionate to
the 0 to 100% LEL gas concentration present and communicates the alarm
notification to the safety system.
