Xgard Bright is a versatile platform designed for detecting flammable and toxic gases, as well as monitoring oxygen levels.
The 4-wire addressable implementation minimizes cabling requirements, lowering installation costs. The large OLED display ensures users can easily interact with Xgard Bright during installation, calibration, and routine maintenance without opening the housing.
FEATURES
Long-life Sensors
Choose from robust sensor options such as MPS (10+ years), O2 Long-life (5 years), and IR sensors (10+ years) to reduce the frequency of sensor replacements and minimize operational expenses.
Flexible Communication
Xgard Bright supports connection to an addressable network using Modbus RS-485 RTU, alongside analogue 4-20 mA output. This setup reduces cable and installation costs while enhancing system flexibility and functionality. HART communication is also available as an option.
OLED Display
The bright OLED display clearly shows gas levels and units, providing comprehensive menus for setup and diagnostics. In low-light conditions, the OLED display offers a higher contrast ratio than conventional LCDs, making it easier to read.
Non-intrusive Calibration
Zero and calibration functions, along with setup, tests, and adjustments, are performed via the display using a magnetic wand, eliminating the need to open the housing and reducing the requirement for a hot-work permit.
Xgard Type 1: An intrinsically safe electrochemical detector with a 2-wire 4-20mA output suitable for detecting toxic gases. It requires a zener barrier or galvanic isolator for intrinsically safe operation
Xgard Type 2: A flameproof electrochemical detector with a 2-wire 4-20mA output, suitable for detecting toxic gases.
Xgard Type 3: A flameproof catalytic bead detector with a 3-wire mV bridge output, suitable for detecting flammable gases.
Xgard Type 4: A flameproof high-temperature catalytic bead detector (up to 150°C) with an mV bridge output, ideal for detecting flammable gases in high-temperature applications.
Xgard Type 5: A flameproof catalytic bead detector with a 3-wire 4-20mA output, suitable for detecting flammable gases.
Xgard Type 6: A flameproof thermal conductivity detector with a 3-wire 4-20mA output, used for detecting gases with different thermal conductivities.
Xgard Type IR: An explosion-proof infrared gas detector with a 3-wire 4-20mA output, suitable for detecting flammable gases.
Xsafe: A safe area catalytic bead detector with a 3-wire 4-20mA or mV bridge output, suitable for detecting flammable gases in non-classified areas.
