BDS-50
The BDS-50 is a state-of-the-art fixed gas detector designed to provide continuous monitoring and early detection of potentially hazardous combustible and toxic gases in industrial and commercial environments. With advanced sensing technologies and robust features, the BDS-50 ensures the safety of personnel and assets by alerting users to the presence of harmful gases before they reach dangerous levels. The BDS-50 is a truly universal gas detector that allows all sensor types to plug into the detector sensor housing and automatically uploads the sensor parameters to the BDS-50.
The BDS-50 comes standard with dual 4-20 mA analog outputs, programmable (4) relays and Modbus RTU RS-485 which provides seamless integration and or standalone operation. The BDS-50 has a color display, menu driven screens and enhanced user interaction. The BDS-50 is C1/D1 approved for hazardous locations.
