MSA GasGard XL - Multi Channel Wall Mount Controller
The GasGard XL designed by MSA as a wall mount controller with up to 8 channels for the monitoring of oxygen, toxic and flammable gases. The GasGard XL is suited to a variety of industrial applications and provides the upmost protection from potentially hazardous environments with its versatility and robust housing, made from ABS fire retardant plastic.
Real time information is displayed through the multi-lingual LCD display, allowing target gas levels and system diagnosis to be shown at a glance. Inputs can be mixed, supporting mA and mV input signals, meaning users can configure up to 8 remote gas sensors, dependent on the amount of input cards installed. This device is easily configured via USB or RS485 Modbus and this can be done by laptop at the wall mounted unit. The GasGard XL has the capability to operate with numerous remote gas sensors (PrimaX Series and many more) as well as catalytic sensors (Series 47k).
