In a combustible work site, explosion-proof sensor assemblies are vital components to ensure the safety of personnel. 

Utilising explosion proof units can accurately monitor atmospheric conditions, detect volatile compounds and unsafe sections of a facility, and help reduce all-around exposure to dangerous environments.

Within a sensor assembly, the explosion-proof feature allows operations at a work site to be more productive, while offering peace of mind for individuals at the front lines conducting hands-on tasks. A stainless steel or aluminium enclosure typically protects explosion-proof units for protection against outdoor elements.

Explosion-proof gas detection devices provide operators with around-the-clock surveillance and monitoring capabilities of confined spaces, as well as industrial buildings and flammable sites–allowing a quick response to the gases detected for the prevention of accidents or injury.  

While applications for explosion-proof sensor assembly compliance vary across a wide range of industry sectors, units can be used as both a permanent monitoring device or in a portable manner.

Control Equipment offers wired explosion proof sensor assemblies that use an electrochemical, infrared, catalytic bead or photoionisation detector sensor element to detect a variety of gases for combustible work sites. 

Also, we offer wireless, or WireFree, explosion-proof sensor assemblies capable of detecting a variety of toxic or combustible gases–reporting once a minute for a continuous monitoring solution. 

While remaining Class I Division I Groups C & D Certified, the sensor assemblies from Otis Instruments contain magnetic switches for non-intrusive calibration while in the field, as well as full system settings and diagnostics­–ensuring a customizable safety solution for all industries.
