AZ INSTRUMENT explosiegas-meter VZ7291

The AZ INSTRUMENT Explosive Gas Meter VZ7291 is a professional-grade gas detection device designed for monitoring explosive gases in industrial and commercial environments. Utilizing catalytic combustion (pellistor) sensor technology, it provides accurate and reliable measurement of Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) for methane, propane, butane, LPG, and natural gas. This wall-mounted unit features dual alarm thresholds, analog and digital outputs, and robust IP54-rated housing for demanding applications.

Advantages

High sensitivity and fast response time (<30s T90) ensure early detection of gas leaks. Dual relay outputs allow integration with external alarms or ventilation systems. The 4-20 mA analog output and RS-485 Modbus RTU digital interface enable seamless connection to building management systems. Long sensor life (3-5 years) and CE certification guarantee reliability and safety compliance.
