Never has a Gas Detection Controller Brought So Many Features to So Many End Users!
For more than 100 years, Oldham from Industrial Scientific has specialised in safety and more particularly in gas and fire detection. The company offers a wide range of single gas and multi-gas portable detectors, fixed transmitters and controllers. Their products are always application-driven and solution-oriented.
Oldham from Industrial Scientific’s (France) latest MX43 gas detection controller complements their already wide range and also presages the new generation of gas monitoring systems. Created from technical specifications developed in collaboration with a representative panel of users, the MX43 demonstrates great flexibility and fulfils all applications. Whilst the MX43 is definitely progressive, it is still extremely easy to use as with all of Oldham’s previous and present products.
The main feature of the MX43 is to be a digital and analogue controller which makes it extremely versatile. It allows you to combine conventional analogue 4-20 mA but also Oldham digital transmitters and to remove on a digital line analogue or logic input/ouput modules for optimising installation expenses.
The MX43 is EC certified. Metrological performances certification according to ATEX regulation and CSA certification are pending.
Never in the history of gas detection have so many features been offered to so many end users by so few! The MX43 includes both digital and analogue controllers, a 4 or 8-line version for monitoring of 16 to 32 detectors, 5 alarm levels by channel, 6 on-board relays by default, up to 24 relays, 32 logic inputs, 32 analogue outputs addressable from the controller, fully programmable relays driven by Boolean functions such as And, Or, Voting, ‘records keeping’: alarms, human interventions, faults, etc. (Up to 3072 events), datalogging of measurements for each channel over the previous 200 minutes, an LCD graphic backlit display allows to display stored curves, up to 16 channels - which can be displayed simultaneously, calibration data records (date, wear rate, gas response curve), soft keys for intuitive navigation through menus and optional built-in flash, siren and backup battery.
Reader Reply Card No Performance Test Approvals for Multi-Gas Detectors GfG (Germany) announces that performance test approval for its G450 and G460 multi-gas detectors has been achieved.
It is a legal requirement in EU countries that portable multi-gas detectors used in hazardous locations should have their gas detection performance tested and verified by an independent test authority, and approved to EN European standards. The G450 and G460 are certified to the following standards: EN 60079-29-1 (Performance test for combustible gas sensors), EN 50104 (Performance test for oxygen), EN 45544-1 (Performance test for toxic gases), EN 45544 - 2 (Performance test for toxic gases) and EN 50271 (Software)
In addition, the flammable gas performance test approval (EN 60079-29-1) for the G450 and G460 includes methane, propane, hexane and n-nonane, so the user is protected against the whole range of combustible gases that may be encountered.
“For many years, users of gas detection instruments have had no sure way of knowing that the product they are using is actually doing the job it was intended for”, said Gavin
Boorman, President of GfG Europe. “ATEX approval is essential to ensure electrical safety, but ATEX alone does not tell you if your gas detector is actually detecting gas in compliance with the required standards. These new EN standards for performance testing give user’s peace of mind that the gas detection performance of the product they choose has been independently tested, and that it complies with the required standards.”

Behind Worldwide Calibration
Calibration and test gases play a crucial part in gas detection. Check gases are the key to calibrating instruments at regular intervals and most importantly, verifying the functionality of gas detectors. Across the globe, manufacturers, distributors and end customers utilise Euro-Gas cylinders to protect the safety of personnel.
Extend your Company’s Product Portfolio
If you purchase calibration and bump gas from an equipment manufacturer or distributor, you may already be using one of the extensive ranges of gases available at Euro-Gas. A significant number of Euro-Gas worldwide clients take advantage of a complimentary labelling service to extend their own portfolio of products, with the knowledge that they have the experience and technical
support of Euro-Gas behind them.
Gas cylinders can be privately labelled with your own Company logo and contact details. Euro-Gas offers this option as a free of charge service and has a dedicated, friendly team on hand for technical and marketing assistance.
Providing quality and cost effective solutions to the problems of industrial and environmental safety worldwide, Euro-Gas specialise in the supply of:
• Calibration and test gases • Komyo Kitagawa Gas Detector Tube System • Advanced OEM gas sensors and circuitry

Regular functional testing and calibration is easy and low cost with lightweight, non- refillable cylinders. The perfect sizes for bump testing of equipment are 20 litre and 34 litre cylinders. For regular calibration, 34 litre, 58 litre and the new Euro-Gas 110 litre cylinder, which conforms to the important European Legislation EN12205, provide more gas in a convenient size and at low cost. Out in the field, non-refillable cylinders are ideal where portability is paramount. For larger quantities of gas, Euro-Gas refillable cylinders offer an alternative.
Euro-Gas also offers advanced gas sensors and supporting circuitry, presenting simple gas detection solutions for manufacturers.
