iTrans monitor

The stainless steel iTrans monitor for fixed-point gas detection is built to withstand corrosion. The monitor is suitable for installations in harsh environments such as offshore drilling platforms, chemical plants or applications near a saltwater coastline.

A number of sensor configurations are available for the unit including single onboard sensors, an onboard sensor with a remote sensor and dual remote sensors. All housings and sensor types are explosion-proof and carry CSA and KEMA approvals.

All monitors employ an intelligent electronics foundation for independent operation or multipoint system configurations and can transmit a 4-20 mA signal or Modbus RTU digital output to any control device. The Modbus RTU interface allows systems integrators to connect monitors or non-display sensor heads to existing or new SCADA, HMI and PLC systems. Using standard four-wire connections, the system is capable of accommodating over 200 transmitters in RS485 bus configuration.

With standard onboard relays, the monitor has the added ability of standalone operation that can activate alarms, horns or fans, or shut down a system without the need to wire back to a control panel.

The unit also offers a relay deactivation and 4-20 mA freeze feature to prevent accidental alarm activation during calibrations.

All iTrans transmitters carry safety features including automatic sensor recognition, access code security, and zero and calibration fault protection. The iTrans monitors are simply programmed from a set-up menu controlled by just four keys. Once the transmitter is configured, all operational functions including monitor status and response test mode can be accessed through the display window with a magnetic wand, eliminating the need to remove the cover.
