DAX 420

The DAX 420 detector was designed to continuously measure the presence of various explosive gases in the air.
Its measurement principle, catalytic combustion, gives it its major benefits:
- very short response time,
- accuracy and reliability of measurements.
By connecting it to a Dalemans unit or to any other instrument that can receive a 4..20 mA
signal, you will benefit from a highly flexible installation.
ATEX certified, this detector is especially suitable for the industrial sector, whose applications are located in an explosive atmosphere.
