Gas transmitters ADOS GTR 196/592 TOX/LCTR 903 are suitable for continuous gas measurement in general areas and places with explosive hazards. Harmful, flammable, inert gases, and vapors can be measured using 5 different types of sensors. The transmitter generates a current signal proportional to the measured gas concentration and transmits it to an alarm controller installed in a safe location, away from hazardous areas. The explosion-proof testing of gas transmitters was completed by the internationally renowned company KEMA.

Semiconductor (TGS) sensors
The TGS sensor consists of a semiconductor sensor constructed from Sn02 sintered N-body When combustible or reducing gases are absorbed by the sensor surface, the change in their conductivity determines the concentration of the measured gas.
Catalytic combustion (VQ) sensor
● Thermal conductivity (GOW) sensor
The GOW sensor utilizes the principle of thermal conductivity. Using two rhenium tungsten resistors as measuring elements, the compared element is affected by normal ambient air while the measuring element is affected by the measured gas. Any change in gas concentration on the measuring element leads to a change in conductivity and a change in temperature. The change in resistance reflects the change in gas concentration.
Electrochemical (TOX) sensors
TOX sensor is a measurement system for electrochemical components, which measures and samples gases through diffusion. When measuring oxygen, the oxygen content decreases during electrolysis, generating a small current (electrochemical process). Under sustained air pressure, the current is directly proportional to the concentration of the sampled gas.
● Infrared (IR) sensor
Each sensor output signal is connected and transmitted to the central controller through a multi-core cable. All sensors are plug-in and easy to replace.
