Gas Sensor Hazardous Area Certification Data

Both the Premier and Standard series of infrared gas sensors are component certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres as detailed below.

The sensors are intended for use directly within hazardous area certified portable or fixed gas detection equipment provided that their use is permitted by the equipment manufacturer's certification documents.
