Ready to use out of the box
PointGard is a self-contained gas detection alarm system that is easy to install and commission. Just mount it on a wall and hard wire it to an AC/DC power or plug in the optional AC power cord. Since the strobes and horn are built in, there is no need to specify and purchase separate alarm output devices. The pre-calibrated sensor is ready to use.
Fast and stable flammable gas detection
The gas sensor type DQ is based on the proven catalytic bead principle. Innovative dual active elements result in very good long-term zero stability. The long service life is resulting from a good poison resistance and provides you with low ownership costs. The innovative gas inlet allows the sensor to respond to gas within a matter of seconds.
Flexible communications
PointGard can accommodate additional external alarm devices through its three built-in relays. In addition, a 4–20 mA signal output allows integration into a larger gas detection system.
