AreaCheck P2 Brochure

Product catalog summary

Overview: The SF6 AreaCheck P2 is a fixed continuous area monitor designed for detecting low-level SF6 leaks. It utilizes award-winning Negative Ion Capture (NIC) technology for fast and accurate detection without cross sensitivity to other gases or moisture.

Key Features:

Safety: Equipped with relay output for immediate leak awareness, audio and visual alarms, and a secure setup via PC or network interface to prevent unauthorized access. It includes a built-in low flow alarm and diagnostic tests.
Flexibility: Compatible with RS485 networks, outputs RS232, and has relay outputs for standalone use. Features an exchangeable SmartSensor with a 12-month lifespan and maintenance-free operation.

Importance of Monitoring SF6:

Worker Safety: SF6 is colorless and odorless, posing a suffocation risk with a Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAC) of 1000 ppm.
Environmental Impact: As a greenhouse gas, SF6 leaks are harmful and targeted for reduction under the Kyoto Protocol.
Cost Implications: SF6 is expensive, and leaks from gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) can be costly.

Applications: The device is suitable for SF6 leak testing in high voltage switchgear, medical, refrigeration, and air conditioning equipment testing, as well as breathing apparatus and medical device testing.

Designed for fixed continuous SF6 area monitoring, the AreaCheck P2 rapidly detects low-level SF6 leaks. AreaCheck P2 utilizes relay output for immediate awareness of detected leaks, and presents no cross sensitivity with any other gas or moisture in the air. AreaCheck P2 has no filter problems due to its minimum air intake (compared to pump operated systems). Instrument setup is carried out easily via a computer or network interface, allowing optimal protection from unauthorized access. The SF6 AreaCheck P2 has a built-in low flow alarm and self-diagnostic testing. The instrument’s serviceable...
