Product Summary

GT810 Toxic Gas Detector. Save money by installing this model in locations where the gas concentration display and relay contacts are not required. Uses the same electrochemical cell sensor as our NOVA-Sensor for reliable and accurate measurements. A standard 4-20 milliamp circuit transmits the gas reading to other control equipment. Typical gases:  hydrogen sulfide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, chlorine, and nitrogen dioxide.  Made in the U.S.A.

The Sensor

The SST Model GT810 series of Toxic Gas Sensors are used to determine the concentration of gas accumulated in a protected area and transmit this information to a central control point. The SST sensors use an electrochemical fuel cell with a patented diffusion barrier. Located inside a stainless steel flameproof housing, the sensing element is exposed to the detected gas through a sintered stainless steel flame arrestor.

The three electrode toxic gas micro fuel cells are designed to be maintenance free and stable over long periods of time. They use a capillary diffusion barrier technology which results in a direct response to volume concentration. A high reserve of electrochemical activity insures a long life and excellent temperature stability. The performance is relatively unaffected by humidity, provided that conditions are non-condensing. Each SST Model GT810 Toxic Gas Sensor includes a high reliability loop powered electronic transmitter. This transmitter converts the signal from the fuel cell element to a standard 4-20 mA signal. This signal may be connected to a suitable SST NOVA-5000 Gas Detection Module, or to any other device with a standard 4-20 mA input. Connections between the transmitter and control device are normally made with 2 conductor cable.

The Model GT810 is suitable for the most demanding applications. A large body mass insures excellent vibrational characteristics when used for offshore use. Corrosion resistant materials permit uses in most environments.
