GTR 196 | Gas Transmitter

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ADOS GTR 196 is a gas transmitter designed for continuous measurement of various gases in both normal and explosion-risk areas. It utilizes five different sensor types to measure noxious, explosive, and non-combustible gases, transmitting a proportional current signal to a safe evaluation unit.
Fields of Application: The GTR 196 is applicable in industries such as chemical manufacturing, paint and varnish production, plastic processing, sewage works, gas-fired boiler systems, laboratories, refineries, and more. It is also used for oxygen concentration measurement and ammonia monitoring in cold-storage houses.
Sensors and Measurement Principles:
  • TGS Sensor: Utilizes a semiconductor sensor to measure gas concentration through changes in conductivity when gases are absorbed.
  • VQ Sensor: Operates on heat reaction principles, measuring gas components through catalytic combustion and resultant resistance changes.
  • GOW Sensor: Based on thermal conductivity, it uses rhenium-tungsten resistors to measure gas concentration through temperature changes.
  • TOX Sensor: Employs an electro-chemical cell to measure gases like oxygen through diffusion and electro-chemical processes.
  • IR Sensor: Uses infrared radiation to determine gas concentration by measuring the reduction in radiation intensity as it passes through gas molecules.
Technical Specifications:
  • Measurement Range: Varies by sensor type, covering ppm ranges to 100% LEL and specific volume percentages for gases like CH4 and CO2.
  • Accuracy: Percentage error ranges from ±3% to ±5% of full-scale deflection.
  • Temperature Range: Operates between -20°C to +45°C.
  • Response Time: Approximately 20 to 30 seconds depending on the sensor.
  • Protection: Certified with KEMA 03 ATEX 2403 X, offering Ex demb [ia] IIC T6 protection.
  • Dimensions and Weight: Each unit measures 100 x 180 x 80 mm and weighs 1.1 kg.
Additional Features: All sensors are plug-in types for easy replacement, and the system supports various interface options including 3-wire techniques and 4-wire techniques with data transmission capabilities.

GTR 196 | Gas Transmitter-3

The GOW sensor functions on the principle of thermal conductivity. Two rhenium-tungsten resistors are used as a measuring element, where the comparison element is subjected to normal ambient air and the measuring element is subjected to the test gas. Any change in the concentration of gas at the measurement element, causes a change in temperature, which is due to the variation of conductivity. The resultant change in resistance is a direct measure of the gas concentration. > 1 = Diffusion filter2 = Test resistor 3 = Comparsion resistor 1 = Anode2 = Electrolyte 3 = Cathode 4 = Diffusion path 5...
