NON-CLASSIFIED AREAS GAS DETECTOR
AGS Controls SMART3R Gas Detector
The SMART3R detects toxic, flammable and refrigerant gases in non-classified areas such as machinery rooms, plant rooms and laboratories. You can order it with one of three sensor types: infrared, catalytic or electrochemical. All three versions share the same enclosure, outputs and wiring, so you can mix sensor types on one site and install them the same way.
Features on every version
- Power: 12-24 Vdc as standard, with an optional AC version
- Outputs: 3 relays (1.0 A at 30 Vdc), RS485 serial communication and 4-20 mA analogue (4-20 mA on the DC version only)
- 4 LED status indicators around a transparent ring, plus an internal 63 dB buzzer for alarm and fault conditions
- Polycarbonate enclosure: 130 x 130 x 74 mm, 1 lb
- Cable entries: 2 x M20 cable glands, with pre-formed guides for up to 6 additional M16 glands
- Optional remote sensor head, connected by RJ12 6P6C cable
- Compliance: EN 378-3, EN 14624, EN 50676, IEC 60335-2-40 Annex LL, ISO 5149-3 and the F-Gas Regulation
Choose your sensor
Infrared (IR)
Use the infrared version for refrigerant gases, CO2 and flammable hydrocarbons. It covers more than 20 refrigerants, including R32, R134a, R410A, R454B, R1234yf and R1234ze, with ranges of 0-2000 ppm, 0-5000 ppm or 0-100% LFL. The sensor has a predicted life of 5 years and responds in under 60 seconds (t90).
Catalytic
Use the catalytic version for combustible gases: methane, LPG, propane, butane and petrol vapours, all with a range of 0-100% LEL. The sensor has a predicted life of 7-10 years.
Electrochemical (EC)
Use the electrochemical version for toxic gases and oxygen: O2, CO, NH3, Cl2, H2S, SO2 and NO2. The sensor has a predicted life of 2-3 years.
