Overview
The RKI SD-1 Series is an explosion-proof smart detector / transmitter for % LEL combustibles (catalytic or infrared), ppm organic vapours such as acrylonitrile, ethylene oxide and methylene chloride, CO, H2S and oxygen. It outputs 4-20 mA or HART, runs on 24 VDC and is ATEX / IECEx Ex d IIC T5 approved with IP65/67 protection.
- SD-1GP catalytic and SD-1RI infrared: % LEL combustibles
- SD-1GH semiconductor: ppm organic vapours and toxics such as acrylonitrile, ethylene oxide, n-methyl pyrrolidone and methylene chloride
- SD-1EC electrochemical: CO 0-75 ppm or H2S 0-30 ppm; SD-1OX galvanic cell: O2 0-25 vol %
- Direct digital display of gas readings
- 4-20 mA linear output or HART over 4-20 mA
- SIL2 approval available on IR, EC and OX versions
- Easy maintenance with a magnetic key; microprocessor self-diagnosis
- Explosion proof ATEX / IECEx Ex d IIC T5, IP65/67; 3 W maximum
The target gas, range and output (4-20 mA or HART) are chosen when you order. Request a quote for pricing and availability.
