SmArtGas 4 detector for Ex zones

The SmArtGas 4 gas sensor has been developed to provide reliable gas measurement, monitoring and detection in harsh environments. Designed in accordance with the ATEX Directive, it is intended to operate within explosive atmospheres, which also allows it to function in other harsh environmental conditions, such as when there are high temperatures, vapours, moisture or dust around.

Unique features

3 possible configurations: Without display, with local LCD or FLED display

New innovative
measuring head

Individually selectable sensor, e.g. the possibility of
detection of % LEL and single ppm.

The SmArtGas 4 detector is based on a newly designed electronic platform with Bluetooth communication. The measuring head (‘FL, FH’) has also been redesigned, so that the SmArtGas 4 sensor working with the pellistor sensor has achieved more than double the response times (T90) in tests*. It is currently one of the fastest devices on the market which, in addition is the only one of the sensors manufactured in Poland, ensures protection level IP67 (as an additional option to protect the measuring mechanisms against water and dust, by means of an additional Teflon membrane). The radio interface (Bluetooth) used provides the possibility of remote calibration and configuration of the sensor.

Extremely simple danger indication

The SmArtGas 4 is also equipped with the innovative R-G-OFF (GAS-OK) system. It is a safety system that allows the efficiency of the system and the level of safety to be assessed at any time. The R-G-OFF system has been designed on the basis of easy-to-recognise light signals. The guiding principle is that any light message other than the green light obliges staff to respond immediately. This system is applicable to the SmArtGas 4 detector via the FLED – a four-colour optical alarm integrated into the gas sensor which enables the immediate location of a potential hazard, or via an additional LTT optical/acoustic alarm. In addition, it provides comfort and a sense of security for staff by being able to assess the emergency at any time.

A solution for calibrating sensors located in hard-to-reach places.
Remote communication with the sensor.
Electronic compensation for ambient temperature effects.
Self-diagnostic function.
Storage in the sensor’s memory of parameters such as CAS number of the substance, location name, serial number, time between mandatory calibrations.

Additional information related to the explosion protection of the device

Additional information related to the explosion protection of the device
The recommended operating position of the sensor is head down. Other items may significantly reduce the IP of the device.
The device should not be covered with dust.
Each time the sensor housing cover is screwed on, pay attention to the housing thread.
Incorrect screwing may damage the threads of the housing.
Incorrectly tightening the screw securing the sensor housing cover can damage the housing threads.
Incorrectly tightening the screw securing the sensor cover can damage the threads.
Removing the protective cover affects its level of impact protection for the sensor – the device cannot operate without the protective cover.
Do not repair the flameproof joints of the device
