The Sensidyne Advantage
The Sensidyne SensAlert Plus is FM and CSA approved for unrestricted
Hazardous (Classified) Area installation and operation. Plus Series
Combustible, Toxic, and Oxygen gas sensors are performance tested and
certified to FM and ATEX standards for assured reliability. The sensor head
is certified Intrinsically Safe enabling shop calibration and hot-swap without
declassifying the area. System components, such as Sample Draw, are also FM
approved and Listed as required by NFPA 820.
Sensidyne understands wastewater applications and works directly with
customers to deliver effective and reliable solutions to their gas detection
requirements. Sales and on-site service personnel are knowledgeable and
experienced to help resolve application issues and provide local training and
ongoing support.
