MSA’s (Germany) well-proven ULTIMA XE gas monitors with display are now available with HART field communications protocol [Highway Addressable Remote Transducer]. HART provides two-way digital communication between intelligent field instruments and host systems. Increased sensor data as well as convenient set-up, calibration and diagnostics can be offered for better management of plant assets.
HART features two simultaneous communication channels: the 4-20 mA analogue signal and a digital signal, enabling the user to perform convenient set-up, calibration and diagnostics from any point along the 4-20 mA line. With ULTIMA XE gas monitors the user has multiple calibration options: the handheld HART communicator, a laptop which communicates via dedicated HART software and the ULTIMA controller or calibrator.
ULTIMA XE gas monitors with HART protocol offers an affordable choice in continuous gas detection and monitoring while retaining key features and sensors of the ULTIMA X series. Plants using ULTIMA XE gas monitors benefit from significant savings. These cost-effective gas monitors use well proven catalytic, electrochemical and infrared technologies for detection of combustible and toxic gases and for oxygen deficiency. The inter-changeable catalytic and electrochemical smart sensors can be changed under power without declassifying a hazardous area.
ULTIMA XE gas monitors are well-suited solutions for asset management of multiple gas detection coverage in oil and gas applications in chemical and petrochemical facilities, steel mills, water and wastewater treatment plants and general industry.
