Fixed Gas Detection System Calibration and Servicing

The XgardIQ, is one of Safety Gear Stores most intelligent fixed-point gas detector, it increases safety by minimising the time operators must spend hazardous areas. This super versatile transmitter and gas detector has a range of features that protect engineers and support facilities managers of oil, gas, chemical & petrochemical plants to name a few.

Available fitted with a variety of flammable, toxic or oxygen gas sensors, please select from the drop down.

XgardIQ is an intelligent and versatile gas detector and transmitter compatible with Crowcon’s full range of sensor technologies. Providing analogue 4-20mA and RS-485 Modbus signals as standard, XgardIQ is optionally available with Alarm and Fault relays and HART communications. The 316 stainless steel are available with three M20 or 1/2“NPT cable entries again please select from our options.

Easy and safe to use

OLED display – Bright, clear display indicates gas level and detector status even in dark locations
Non-intrusive calibration – Zero and calibration functions are performed via the display and keypad, without the need for a hot-work permit or any special tools (e.g. no magnetic wand required)
+ve Safety indicator – Confirms the detector is operating safely at a glance
Event log function – Stores all alarm, fault and maintenance events to provide a history of detector use

Simple installation and maintenance

Universal transmitter – Common transmitter for Crowcon’s full range of sensor technologies
Hot-swap sensor modules – Sensors can easily be replaced using one hand without requiring tools or a hot-work permit
Auto-sense function – Automatically detects whether the control system is 4-20mA current sink or source and sets itself appropriately, eliminating the risk of being incorrectly set
Auto-configure function – Detects when a sensor module is plugged-in and uploads the appropriate gas type, range, units and alarm levels

Reliability

Smart Bump and Speedy Bump test functions – Enable sensor health and response to be verified quickly and easily using test gas. Process is automated and provides a reminder when a bump test is due
Calibration due warning – Reminds the user when calibration is due to ensure that sensors remain operational and accurate at all times
Sensor range selection – User can set the full-scale range of the sensor via the display menu according to site or specific location requirements.
