FP-624D Combustible Gas Sensor

Manufacturer: Teledyne| Detcon
Detcon Model FP-624D is a “Smart” gas detection sensor designed to detect and monitor combustible gas in air over the range of 0 to 100% LEL (lower explosive limit) using matched-pair catalytic bead technology. 

Model FP-624D features Detcon's MicroSafe intelligent electronics, nonintrusive operator interface and comprehensive fault diagnostics. 

The sensor transmitter features an advanced universal design that fits all existing Detcon matched-pair catalytic bead sensors dating back more than 20 years. 

The sensor assembly includes the detector in stainless steel housing, a base connector board, an explosion proof enclosure (available in aluminum or stainless steel), a plug-in control transmitter circuit, and a splashguard with integral cal port. 

The packaging is Explosion Proof (Class I, Division 1 Groups B, C, D). 

Model FP-624D is equipped with a standard Analog 4-20 mA current signal equivalent to the sensor range of detection, RS-485 serial communications port, 3 alarm relays, one-man remote calibration, self-adjusting zero and span, and LED indicators for fault, alarm, and calibration status.
