The Statox 506 SIL2 – detection of toxic gases and oxygen
Like formerly the Statox 505, the new Statox 506 is features intelligent sensors manufactured in-house.
These can detect NH3, HCN, Cl2, CO, O2, H2S, O3, NO2, H2, HCl, N2H4, COCl2 and SO2 with very high sensitivity.
The sensor signal goes to state-of-the-art electronics, which has with safety features such as “Heart – Beat” sensor monitoring, “Smart Sensor” technology, and solid hardware and software monitoring.

Features gas detector Statox 506

Pure Safety: SIL2 Standard
The standard DIN EN 61508 makes operational safety measurable. This means that every sensor, every small mechanical and electronic component, and every software routine is examined for its probability of failure.
These key figures quantify the probability of failure on demand. They are so low in the Statox 506 that they are far below the requirements of the standard DIN EN 50420.
Simple operation: Plug & Play
The measuring head itself is gas-neutral. All technical parameters are stored in the F-RAM of the smart sensor. As soon as the sensor is plugged in, it communicates all important parameters to the sensor (gas type, measuring range, calibration data, date of manufacture, exposure history, etc.) The the system is ready to measure. This new generation of sensors also allows you to check when a calibration or proof test is required.
Even changing the sensor is child’s play: snap the sensor into the holder of the measuring head – done. This way, sensors located in places difficult to access, can conveniently be calibrated in the workshop and then be put back into the sensor head on site.
