Description
ION Science FALCO 2 Fixed VOC Gas Detector
The ION Science FALCO 2 is a pioneering fixed continuous gas detector. It is designed to provide accurate and reliable volatile organic compound (VOC) detection in potentially explosive, harsh industrial environments. Engineered specifically for safety and environmental protection, this robust gas detector ensures total peace of mind for oil and gas, refinery, and petrochemical operations. Trusting your readings is critical in these settings.
Equipped with world-class MiniPID 2 technology, the FALCO 2 effectively mitigates the risk of false readings using patented Fence Electrode and anti-contamination designs. Its standout feature is the integrated Typhoon Technology. This technology prevents condensing moisture from forming within the PID sensor. It ensures uninterrupted, top-tier performance even in extreme outdoor conditions or areas with 0 to 100% relative humidity.
Key Features:
✅ ATEX, IECEx, and North American Zone 1 explosion-proof certifications (Ex db ib IIC T4 Gb)
✅ N/A (Fixed industrial instrument – no commercial OS)
✅ IP65 Ingress Protection for both the main unit and sensor head
✅ Digital RS485 Modbus and analog 4-20 mA communication protocols for seamless system integration
✅ Equipped with a 128×64 pixel white-on-black OLED screen and multi-colored status display visible from 20 m
✅ Dual IS and ExD housing certification to simplify maintenance and protect the product
✅ Standard 8 to 40 Vdc working voltage power requirement (Typical 2W, Max 7W)
✅ Two programmable relays configurable for Normally Open (N/O) or Normally Closed (N/C) contacts
✅ Tamper-proof 5 magnetic switch interface with LED confirmation
