Detfire brand explosion-proof gas leak detector, model number DF-GD3-A-B0300, made in Italy.

1600

Product description

The DF-GD3 series detectors are manufactured with an ATEX-approved die-cast aluminum housing, with an IP65 rating of protection, making them suitable for use in Category 2 Zone 1 and 2 (gas) and Zone 21 or 22 (dust) rated areas, with temperatures ranging from -40 to +60 degrees Celsius.

The DF-GD3 series detectors utilize a microprocessor unit capable of processing gas concentration data and performing dynamic calibration to ensure accurate detection. The sensors used can be catalytic, electrochemical, infrared, or semiconductor, depending on the gas being detected. Power supply is between 12Vc and 24Vc. The front of the detectors features LED indicators for detector status: alarm, correct operation, and fault.

Two distinct versions of the DF-GD3 series detector interface are available:

  • The DF-GD3-A is equipped with a 4-20 mA analog output.
  • The DF-GD3-I is equipped with RS485 digital output and Modbus RTU communication protocol.

In both cases, it is possible to insert the optional DF-RM3 card which integrates three distinct programmable relays to indicate pre-warning, alarm and failure conditions, with programmable interference thresholds and thus allowing interaction with any type of control center.

The DF-GD3 series detectors are capable of detecting a wide range of explosive/flammable gases (e.g., methane, LPG, etc.) (e.g., carbon monoxide, etc.) or asphyxiating (e.g.), invading gases (e.g., nitrogen, helium, etc.).

The following table shows the types of detectable gases and their corresponding identification codes, depending on the type of sensor used and the percentage of LIE or ppm detected. For the complete code of the detectors to be ordered, simply add the following prefix before the code corresponding to the specific gas:

  • DF-GD3-A- detectors with 4-20 mA analog output type
  • DF-GD3-I- for detectors with RS485 digital output
