EX-TEC® Multitec 520

Multi-gas measuring device for work place monitoring with active and passive explosion protection

The EX-TEC® Combi is a combined warning and measuring device for various gases and consists of:
• the basic device with built-in pump and data storage for documentation
• space to plug-in 4 sensors for the measuring of max. 5 different gases

The sensor chamber can be equipped optionally with the following sensors:
• methane CH4
• carbon dioxide CO2
• oxygen O2
• hydrogen sulphide H2S
• carbon monoxide CO2
• combination sensor H2S / CO
• further gases on request

Application range - GAS WARNING

Atmosphere control (work place monitoring) of pits and cavities in the areas
• Drinking water supply (stop tap pits)
• Gas supply
• District heating
• Telecommunication (PTT pits)
• Waste water technical installation (sewage plants, pumping pits, areas at digestion chambers, rainwater settling tanks)
• Public traffic
• Walkable water crossing
• Chemical industry

Application range - GAS MEASURING

Determination of gas concentrations
• Pin-pointing of leaks (without heavy gas proof)
o Measuring of gas concentrations in bar holes
o Indicating the bar hole with the maximum concentration
• Gasing/Inertisation
o Controlling the filling process with natural gas and the decrease of oxygen concentration
o Controlling the sweeping process with nitrogen and the decrease of natural gas concentration
o Measuring the methane and oxygen concentration

Measuring ranges

TLV Measuring (according to TRGS 402 und TRGS 900)

Warning of combustible mixtures
• By leaking gas pipes near the pit
• Near deposits of oil, carbon, natural gas or LPG
• Near sanitary landfills, marshes, chemical companies, petrol stations or refineries
• By cleaning or coating works with substances containing solvents
• By inadmissible leading flammable substances into the sewerage system (e.g. leaking petrol)

Warning of lack of oxygen
• By an increase of other gas components
• By digestion processes of organic waste in pits (e.g. wet leaves)
• By welding and heating processes with open flame
• By the consumption of breath

Warning of toxic gases
• By formation of carbon dioxide for reasons of bacterial processing
• By formation of carbon dioxide in areas containing mineral water
• By formation of carbon dioxide in exhaled air
• By formation of hydrogen sulphide in sewage
• By formation of carbon monoxide for reasons of incomplete burning processes (e.g. badly adjusted heaters)
• By formation of carbon monoxide near streets or near parking places

Characteristics

• large, illuminated LCD
• micro-processor controlled
• self-test when switched-on
• visible and audible alarm
• TLV measuring and alarming according to TRGS 402 and TRGS 900
• extensive menu functions for personal device adjustments
• PIN code distribution for directed access control
• minimum and maximum value display per gas
• ajustable pre-alarm and main alarm per gas
• short and long term alarm per gas
• adjustable inspection interval for regular inspection dates
• adjustable test gas concentrations
