MPS™ Flammable Gas Sensor
Rapid detection and precise measurement of over a dozen gases and gas mixtures, all with factory-calibrated accuracy.
World-class OEMs use The MPS™ sensor in their safety devices
THE MPS™ GAS SENSOR
The Gold Standard in Sensor Technology
Low-maintenance, highly accurate, and robust.
- No field calibration Immunity to saturation and poisoning and no field calibration eliminates the prohibitive cost of quarterly calibration trips & sensor replacements.
- Highly accurate gas detection Resolution to 0.1% LEL with built-in environmental compensation for temperature, relative humidity, and pressure for near-zero false positives.
- Very wide operating range & self-testing capability -40°C to 75°C operating range with up to 100% relative humidity. Built-In Self-Test (BIST) capability continuously evaluates the system to ensure it is operating to specification.
- Low power consumption Our new MPS 6.0 ultra-low-power sensor version requires just 1.35mW, making it ideal for battery-powered portable instruments.
- 15-year sensor life Unparalleled 15-year sensor life means low total cost of ownership and ensures uninterrupted monitoring.
- Certified as Intrinsically Safe Class 1, Div. 1 and Zone 0 certified and global safety certifications such as FM, CSA, IECEx, ATEX, EN50271 and IP65+.
