Description
The Crowcon Xgard Type 2 (XG2) is a flameproof (Ex d) fixed-point detector for toxic gases and oxygen, using the same electrochemical sensor range and 2-wire 4-20mA output as the intrinsically safe Type 1 but in a flameproof junction box for Zone 1 or 2 (Class I, Division 1) areas where an I.S. barrier is not used.
Sensors are plug-in modules, and the long-life oxygen sensor option carries a 2-year lifespan. The UL configurations listed here are supplied in aluminium or 316 stainless steel junction boxes.
How to read the configuration code: each code spells out the build — XG type, then housing and cable entry (A = aluminium, S = 316 stainless steel, N = glass-reinforced (GRP) nylon; 1 = M20, 2 = 1/2" NPT, 4 = 3/4" NPT, 5 = 2× M20), certification (01 = ATEX/IECEx, 02 = UL/cUL, 07 = INMETRO), then the gas code. Every configuration in the dropdown also names its housing, thread, gas, range and certification in full.
Certifications on this page: configurations are listed in UL/cUL, ATEX/IECEx and INMETRO builds. The certification of each configuration is stated in full at the end of its dropdown label — check it before ordering, as certifications are not interchangeable and an ATEX/IECEx or INMETRO build is not a UL/cUL unit.
Common Applications:
Oil & Gas • Petrochemical • Chemical Plants • Water & Wastewater • Steel • Power Generation • Marine & Offshore
