Rugged, Reliable, and Flexible

The detector models are constructed to withstand the abuse of hazardous work environments. The TXgard and Flamgard Plus detectors use marine grade aluminum with a stainless steel sensor housing to ensure the safety and integrity of the equipment. The TXgard-IS+ is constructed of carbon-loaded nylon. The models also feature flexible output options including 2 or 3 wire formats, optional relays for alarm and fault, and 4-20mA current sink or source. Crowcon also has a wide variety of catalytic and electrochemical gas sensors to fit these models (currently offering more than 25 individual gas sensors).

Flamgard Plus and TXgardPlus Specifications

The Flamgard Plus and TXgard Plus models are similar in size (200 x 115 x 115 mm) and weight (2.2 kilograms). However, the Flamgard Plus utilizes a catalytic bead sensor and the TXgard Plus utilizes an electrochemical sensor. Both feature an ingress protection with an IP66 weatherproof cap and 2 x M20 x ½ NPT cable entries. These models feature optional relays of SPNO or SPNC contacts rated 30 Vdc 1A (non-inductive load) for Alarm 1 and fault for Alarm 2.

For easy reading, these models have a 3 digit backlit display with and LED status indicator. The magnetically operated buttons control the calibration method and the terminals are suited for up to 1.5 mm2 cable. Both models are suited for usage in hazardous zones 1 and 2.

TXgard IS+ and Specs

The TXgard IS+ is slightly smaller than the other two models and houses an electrochemical sensor type. It is approximately 160 x 123 x 92 mm in size and .7 kilograms in weight. This unit also features an IP66 weatherproof cap for ingress protection. The display is slightly smaller than the other two models, and offers a 2 line 16 character LCD screen. The calibration method is operated via front mounted push buttons, and its terminals are suited for up to 2.5 mm2 cables. This model is appropriate for hazardous zones 0, 1, and 2, and when connected via an isolation device, the TXgard IS+ is suited for hazardous zones 20, 21, and 22.

DSU-07-XX-R Detective + Transportable 4-Gas Area Monitor, Flammable IR CH4 0-100% LEL, O2, H2S,CO (H2 filtered) Non-pumped, Standard with Rigid Legs by Crowcon

Detective+ is now wireless. Detective Net is a wireless module that gives you up to 100 meters range excluding the use of cables. The Detective Net modules can also be used as a repeater giving you a stronger signal in those areas that are built up and that have issues with signal strength. Detective Net is backwards compatible enabling use with all version of Detective and Detective+, so it can be used on your existing fleet.

Designed for group protection, area monitoring and providing a virtual fenceline, Detective+ is a rugged, interconnectable, multigas temporary area monitor.

Building on Crowcon's experience in pioneering this category of detector, Detective+ has earned a reputation for reliability and versatility in demanding environments stretching from offshore platforms to the sands of the Middle East.

Rugged and robust, Detective+ features either fixed or folding legs and a protective frame that allows stacking for easier storage.

Available with an optional internal pump for sampling versatility, alarms are announced with an extremely loud sounder, while multiple beacons ensure 360 degree visibility.

Detective+ may now also be equipped with infra-red (IR) sensors, providing either CO2 detection, or allowing higher levels of flammable gas monitoring. IR sensors also provide immunity to the poisoning effects which standard flammable gas sensors can suffer from. This extends sensor life and further increases measurement confidence in tough applications such as water treatment plants and certain chemical or hydrocarbon processing facilities.

• Multiple beacons
• All linked Detective+ units indicate an alarm sensed by any one unit
• Provides effective warning of gas hazards
• Ensures 360° visibility

Xgard Gas Detectors

Crowcon is a global leader in designing and manufacturing gas detection technology and equipment. The company has been in operation for over 40 years and is consistently building upon its products. By integrating modern technology with the demands of the modern workplace, Crowcon has developed a line of gas detection devices and monitors that lead the competition. The Xgard range of gas detectors is a product of Crowcon s successful integration and technological advancements. With a wide range of sensor types and available accessories, the Xgard series is suitable for all worksites and is customizable enough to fit any needs.

Tough and reliable

The Xgard series of fixed point gas detectors is incredibly durable and reliable. The casings and materials, including weatherproof caps, are designed to protect the equipment from the harshest environments. The detectors are made from a variety of materials depending on the model: glass reinforced nylon, aluminum with polyester coating, and 316 stainless steel.

Variety of sensors

The fixed point gas detector offers a wide range of sensors for to suite almost all applications. The Xgard range of gas detectors is available in three models to meet varying worksite needs: flameproof, intrinsically safe, and safe area formats. Additionally, Xgard offers different types of fixed point gas detectors within these three models:

• Xgard Type 1- Intrinsically safe toxic and oxygen gas detectors
• Xgard Type 2- Flameproof toxic and oxygen gas detectors
• Xgard Type 3- Flameproof flammable gas detector
• Xgard Type 4- Flameproof high temperature flammable gas detector
• Xgard Type 5- Flameproof flammable gas detector with 4-20mA output
• Xgard Type 6- Flameproof thermal conductivity type gas detector
• Xsafe- Safe area flammable gas detector

Cost efficient and highly effective

With quick and easy installation and maintenance, the Xgard series is able to keep costs at a minimum. The replacement sensors, for example, are simple to replace by merely plugging them in. The replacement parts are also readily available and compatible with all Xgard models, thereby reducing the amount of required spare parts that are stored in the facility. Additionally, the sensors have two times the typical life spans of similar sensors in the industry. With a 2 year life span, worksites can expect to cut their sensor replacement costs in half. For worksites that require slightly more customization, Crowcon offers compatible accessories for the Xgard series such as sampling applications, remote gassing applications, spray deflectors, sun shields, weatherproof caps, collector cones, flow adapter, and accessories adapter.

Xgard also has flexible installation options. The unit is designed for either wall or ceiling mounts, and users will not need to purchase additional equipment for mounting. For more complex installation needs, users can purchase accessories.

Specifications

Each model is approximately the same size with dimensions of 6.1 x 6.5 x 4.3 inches and weighing approximately 1 or 2 pounds. The battery type, electrical output, and power requirements vary based on the sensor type.
