S2 Series – Gas Sensor/Transmitter by RKI Instruments
In stock
RKI Instruments S2 series diffusion gas sensor/transmitters for fixed systems: highly reliable, very cost-effective detection of common gas hazards, with 4-20 mA output.
Gas options: Methane (CH4), LEL - H2 Specific, Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Hydrocarbons (HC), H2 (0-1000 ppm), H2 (0-2000 ppm), LEL, Oxygen (O2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), CO2 (0-100% Vol.), CO2 (0-5.0% Vol.), CO2 (0-50% Vol.), CO2 (0-5000 ppm).
Key benefits
- Available for LEL, H2-specific (LEL and ppm), oxygen, H2S, CO, CO2 and a variety of toxic gases; LEL by catalytic bead or infrared
- LEL, H2-specific, oxygen, H2S, CO2 and CO transmitters are explosion-proof with flame arrestors, approved for Class I, Div. 1, Groups B, C, D; optional non-explosion-proof version for oxygen, H2S, CO and CO2 (Class 1, Div. 2)
- Toxic sensors (NH3, AsH3, Cl2, ClO2, HCN, PH3, SO2) are electrochemical plug-in types with high specificity, fast response and long life; tool-free field replacement; for Class I, Div. 2
- Indoor or outdoor use; patented water-repellent flame arrestor coating; splash guards for very wet environments
- Optional stainless steel junction box for corrosive environments
- Interfaces with RKI controllers or PLC/DCS systems
- Made in the USA
