Gas Sensor Transmitter for Figaro Series TGS and MQ Series Solid State Sensors

The Model: VP-TX100-SS

The VP-TX-100-SS is the inexpensive alternative for gas detection and environment monitoring. The combination of analog 4-20 mA output and the  RS-485 digital port makes this unit the ideal choice to connect to analog controllers and digital PLC’s. The wide choice of Solid State Gas Sensors provides accurate level readings with a life span of up to 7 years under normal applications.

The on board temperature sensor and optional remote temperature sensor can be read directly from the RS-485 port or with the LCD display.

The user interface consists of a Status LED, three pushbuttons, an audible and a 2 line x 8 character backlit LCD. The Status LED indicates OK, Low, Mid, High and Fault Alarms. The three pushbuttons and LCD provide a convenient calibration method. There are NO potentiometers, all calibration, sensor selection and setup is performed digitally. All variables are stored in the processor’s flash memory.

Sensors are NOT Included.
