Each
Vanguard detector has a Wireless HART® transceiver, an
antenna, a display, a long life power module, a gas
sensor, and a signal processor for the gas sensor.
Vanguard uses a sensor architecture trademarked
“Flexsense,” which allows the sensor to identify its
target gas and self-configure to a Vanguard transmitter
upon connection.
-
It is currently available with either a
non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) methane sensor (0-100
%LEL), NDIR propane sensor (0-100%LEL), an electrochemical
hydrogen sulfide sensor (0-100 ppm), an electrochemical
ammonia sensor (0-100ppm) or an electrochemical carbon
monoxide sensor (0-500 ppm).
-
Wireless gas detectors like the Vanguard
can augment existing gas detection coverage with minimal
financial and labor outlay. The Vanguard can be
plugged-and-played anywhere in an existing Wireless HART®
mesh and perform its role as a first line of defense for
gas monitoring.
