Crowcon Xgard Fixed Multi Gas Detector

The Xgard multi gas detectors offer a versatile and reliable solution for gas detection needs, with options for Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) or Flameproof (Exd) versions. These detectors are available in different case materials, including high-grade alloy, stainless steel, or chemically resistant GRN polymer, and are certified with IECEx, ATEX, and UL certifications. One of the main advantages of Xgard detectors is their low cost of ownership. They are designed for easy installation and maintenance, reducing operational expenses. The detectors come with three junction box options, making sensor and sinter replacement simple. Many spare parts are common to all Xgard models, minimizing spare parts holding requirements. The Xgard detectors offer flexible installation options, allowing for wall or ceiling mounting without the need for additional brackets. They can accommodate M20 or 1/2″ NPT cable glands, catering to various site requirements. 

A wide range of sensors is available for the Xgard detectors, making them suitable for various detection needs. Poison-resistant pellistors are used for flammable gas detection, including hydrocarbons, hydrogen, ammonia, jet fuel, leaded petrol, and halogen-containing vapours. Electrochemical sensors are used to detect a vast range of toxic gases and oxygen. Thermal conductivity sensors are available to monitor percentage volume concentrations of gases. All models of the Xgard multi gas detectors have been validated to meet the functional safety standard IEC 61508 (SIL 1 to SIL 3), providing an additional level of assurance in their reliability and performance. This makes Xgard detectors a dependable choice for gas detection applications in various industries, including the marine sector, where safety and early gas detection are critical for protecting personnel and equipment.
