GASENSOR TECHNOLOGY MODEL GQ-CE8900

Description Intelligent Sensor

For Toxic Gas Detection
A new generation of intelligent Toxic Gas Detector, Model
GQ-CE8900, which adopts the smart sensor technology and
features a safety function automatically identifies and
determines the remaining usage life of the sensor. This
easy-to-use GQ-CE8900 also features the detection of different
gas concentrations by simply replacing the sensor and
re-calibrating accordingly. It also provides a real-time fault
diagnosis to ensure safe and effective operations.
GQ-CE8900 can monitor toxic gases presence consistently and
continuously in installation sites. This Toxic Gas Detector has a
standard 4-20mA current output and three sets of Normally
Open Contact relays for Warning/Alarm/Fault. These features
make it easy for the detector to connect to various control units.
In addition, there are dual redundant Modbus and HART
communication interfaces for data transfer to PLC, DCS, PC,
etc.
