World’s First Gas Detection System

Uniphos KwikSense Smart Gas Transmitters are universal transmitters with plug & play sensor technology. They are capable of accepting more than 100 smart gas sensors. Non-intrusive calibration helps customers to calibrate the transmitters in hazardous area without opening the transmitter thus reducing the down time for calibration. Alternatively the smart gas sensors can be plugged out and calibrated in the lab and can be put back on the KwikSense transmitters.

Overview

KwikSense series digital gas transmitter is a field mountable device suitable for the detection and continuous monitoring of hazardous gases at industrial locations.

It provides an RS-485 MODBUS-RTU digital output signal that can be connected to any suitable control system viz. Uniphos controller, DCS, PLC, etc. It also provides an industry standard 4-20 mA analog output. The KwikSense is available for a large number of toxic and flammable gases viz. CO, H2S, SO2, Cl2, NH3, HCN, HCl, NO2, CH4 (%LEL), etc.

Application

KwikSense Monitor is useful at work place & confined space in Industries like:

Refineries

Cylinder storage yards

Oil and gas industries
