Exchangeable sensor unit including digital value processing, temperature compensation and
self-control for the continuous monitoring of the ambient air.
The sensor unit MC2 houses a module with µController, analog output and power supply in addition to the electrochemical sensor element including amplifier. The µController calculates a linear 4–0 mA (or 2–10 V) signal out of the measurement signal and also stores all relevant measured values and data of the sensor element.
Calibration is done either by simply replacing the sensor unit or by using the comfortable, integrated calibration routine directly at the system.
APPLICATION
The PolyGard®2 Sensor MC2 is used for the detection of toxic gases or for oxygen monitoring when a typical 4–20
mA (or 2–10 V) signal is required.
