Description

Electrochemical Toxic Gas Detection

The ST3 XChem series uses electrochemical sensing technology to provide high specificity and reliable detection of target gases in industrial applications.

Millennium II Transmitter Compatibility

ST3 XChem sensors are part of the Net Safety Millennium II platform and are compatible with M21, M22, and M2B transmitters for flexible single- or dual-channel gas detection configurations.

SimpleClick Plug-and-Play Sensor Design

Sensors are calibrated at the factory, and Millennium II transmitters automatically recognize newly installed sensors and upload the appropriate configuration profile.

Sensor End-of-Life Diagnostics

Built-in end-of-life diagnostics monitor the health of the electrochemical sensor cell and provide a fault condition alert when the sensor needs replacement.

Single or Dual Channel Flexibility

A single Millennium II transmitter can be used with one or two toxic gas sensors, combustible gas sensors, or a combination of sensor types, reducing the need for multiple gas-specific detectors.

Improved Triple Electrode Design

The sensing element uses sensing, reference, and counter electrodes built with robust materials to support longer sensor life and enhanced performance.

Field-Selectable Gas Ranges

Applicable sensor configurations support field-selectable detection ranges, allowing the sensor setup to be adjusted based on application requirements.

Long-Range Sensor Separation

Sensors can be separated from the transmitter by up to 2,000 ft. (600 m) using 18 AWG cabling, supporting flexible detector placement in larger facilities or hard-to-access monitoring points.

Advanced Environmental Immunity

Each sensor is temperature compensated to its target gas and selected range. A specialized hydrophobic barrier and advanced diffusion process help control humidity effects for stable gas concentration readings.

Low Power Consumption

The ST3 XChem series is designed for low power use, supporting efficient operation within fixed gas detection systems.

Applications

The Net Safety Millennium II ST3 XChem Toxic Gas Sensor is suitable for industrial environments where toxic gas detection is required to support worker safety, process safety, and regulatory compliance. Its transmitter compatibility, long-range sensor separation, and field-serviceable design make it well suited for both new installations and upgrades to existing gas detection systems.

Common applications include:

  • Refineries
  • Chemical plants
  • Water and wastewater treatment facilities
  • Mining operations
  • Pulp and paper facilities
  • Power generation plants
  • Industrial process areas requiring toxic gas monitoring
  • Remote or hard-to-access monitoring points where sensor separation from the transmitter is beneficial
