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.
