The Statox 560 might be one of the safest gas detectors at all. Functional safety level 2 - EN 61508 quantifies its low probability of failure on demand.
Furthermore a self test with the target gas assures that a failure - how unlikely ever - will never go unnoticed.
The self test is not only capable detecting a failure, but will also generate a maintenance request alert if necessary. This saves a lot of time for preventive maintenance.
The Statox 560 is in any aspect a state - of - the - art product:
- The new sensor generation features high sensitvity, fast response, low interferences and plug - and play technology.
- The gas generators produce the target gas and thus offer a 100 % proof that all components are in perfect condition.
- The output signals are a 4 - 20 mA analog signal plus 4 open collector outputs for A1, A2, maintenance request and system failure.
- The electronics are well protected in an Ex d housing with window. The self test starts automatically once per day on a programmable schedule, or can be triggered manually with a magnetic pin or by a remote contact in the control room. This feature will safe time when you need it most: In case of an exposure, the sensor must be tested to make sure it has not been poisoned. With a Statox 560 you can do this just with a push of a button!
The magnetic pin is the tool to access the menu in the Ex d housing. Here you can set parameters and perform a prooftest or a calibration.
