For individual or crew applications
October 1st 2008 Honeywell has launched
the Honeywell Analytics
XD—a portable single-gas
detector with data-logging
and compatibility with
Honeywell's MicroDock II
docking/testing/calibration
/recharging station.
Suitable for individual or
crew applications in a
variety of industries, the XD
can monitor one of many
common toxic hazards,
including Hydrogen Sulfide
(0-100 ppm or 0-500 ppm),
Sulfur Dioxide, Hydrogen
Cyanide, Carbon Monoxide,
Ammonia, Chlorine,
Phosphine and Oxygen
levels.
The XD detector is one
component of Honeywell's
newly expanded X series of
portable gas detectors
designed to accommodate
the safety requirements of
an entire crew of workers.
Up to ten XD detectors or a
combination of XD and X5
(5-gas detector) units can
be connected to
Honeywell's optional
MicroDock II docking
station, allowing the safety
manager to manage
calibration, bump testing,
data-logging and recharging
of up to six detectors (X5
only) —all within one
module.
The XD offers a featurerich
package including a
water-resistant, IP66/67
rated housing, EMI/RFI
resistance and built-in
concussion-proof boot. A
built-in IR COM port allows
for automatic data transfer
to a computer or MicroDock
II docking station module.
The large, easy-to-read
display includes a built-in
backlight that ensures easy
viewing of gas
concentration levels and
other vital data, even in
dim light conditions. An
extra loud alarm, flashing
LED light bars and internal
vibrator alerts the user to
hazardous conditions. The
XD offers a plug-in,
replaceable sensor, multilanguage
support, 4-level
alarms (Low, High, TWA and
STEL) and recorded TWA,
STEL and peak exposure on
demand. The XD is powered
by a two-year, 3V
replaceable lithium
battery.
"The XD offers a
wide range of available
gases in a rugged
housing, as well as
advanced capabilities
such as data-logging
and compatibility with
the Microdock II. The
Microdock II offers the
convenience of docking
with other units for
multiple testing,
calibration and
recharging—all with a
simple operation," said
Elisabeth, strategic
marketing manager
portables (EMEAI).
The Honeywell Analytics
X series also includes the
Impulse XP (single-gas) and
Impulse X4 (4-gas) portable
gas detectors. All X series
units include a standard
two-year factory warranty. More articles from Honeywell Analytics: |
