  • Ready, fault and gas warning indicators
  • Menu-aided operation, via 2 keys
  • Integrated buzzer, gas half-hourly average value selectable
  • Three alarm thresholds individually adjustable from 0-100 % of test range
  • Three floating alarm outputs for driving additional warning and control systems
  • Floating fault contact
  • Serial output RS232 for connecting a printer or a PC
  • High degree of reliability
  • Low current consumption
  • Plastic, wall-mounting housing
  • Easy installation
  • Straightforward operation
