Description

The T3A Series Gas Detector ambient air hazardous gas detector is a versatile assembly  that uses an electrochemical, infrared, catalytic bead sensor element to detect a variety of gases. Wired power (12 to 35 VDC) with 4-20 mA analog and RS-485 Modbus outputs standard. Magnetic switches allow for non-intrusive calibration while in the field as well as full system settings and diagnostics.

The T3A represents the latest leading edge technology in fixed gas detection today.
