Product Summary

GT812 NOVA-Sensor Elite™ Toxic Gas Sensor is our latest intelligent model toxic gas detector which monitors the presence of toxic gases such as H2S or hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, carbon monoxide, chlorine, and other toxic gases.  Self-contained device, measures and displays the concentration of gas accumulated in a protected area, performs local control functions, and optionally transmits this information to a central control point.  Features a bright LCD display of gas, 4-20 mA output signal, dry contact relays, and on-screen calibration instructions.  5 Year Warranty.  Made in the USA.

THE SENSOR

Use the NOVA-Sensor Toxic Gas Detector to alert personnel when life-threatening gas is present in a protected area. This detector uses an electrochemical fuel cell sensing element, and provides accurate measurements in all atmospheres. A high reserve of electrochemical activity insures a long life and excellent temperature stability. The performance is relatively unaffected by humidity, providing that conditions are noncondensing,

The display screen on the NOVA-Sensor continuously displays operating status and the actual concentration of toxic gas in parts per million (PPM). This reading is converted to a standard 4-20 mA signal, which may be connected to any remote device for remote display or logging. Relay contacts are provided which transfer when the gas SAFETY SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY novagas toxic concentration exceeds the LOW ALARM and HIGH ALARM set points. Typical set points are adjusted by the installer upon installation and may be reset later by authorized personnel. The relays are suitable for controlling local HVAC equipment, alarm signal devices or for equipment shutdown. Fault relay contacts are also available which operate upon loss of power or internal failure of the unit.

The automatic calibration sequence is initiated by depressing the pushbutton switch located on the side of the enclosure. During calibration, step-by-step instructions are displayed on the NOVA-Sensor screen. There are no screwdriver or other manual adjustments required, and the calibration can be performed even in the presence of toxic gases.
