Description
MSA CO20G/F Gas Detection Transmitter/Sensor
Product Dimensions:
The MSA CO20G/F is a high-performance, fixed gas detector specifically engineered for the continuous monitoring of Carbon Dioxide ($CO_2$) in industrial and commercial environments.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the product to help you understand its capabilities and deployment requirements.
1. Product Overview
The MSA CO20G/F utilizes advanced Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) technology to detect $CO_2$ levels accurately. It is designed for durability and precision, often used in integrated safety systems to prevent asphyxiation or to monitor process gases.
-
CO20G: Typically refers to the General-purpose or standard version.
-
CO20F: Often denotes versions with specific mounting or flameproof/explosion-proof features (depending on regional certifications).
2. Technical Specifications
While specific configurations can vary by region, the standard parameters are as follows:
| Parameter | Specification |
| Detection Principle | Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) |
| Target Gas | Carbon Dioxide ($CO_2$) |
| Standard Range | 0–5% Vol or 0–100% LEL (Equivalent) |
| Output Signal | 4–20 mA DC (Standard analog) |
| Power Supply | 24V DC nominal (12–30V DC) |
| Operating Temp | -20°C to +50°C |
| Response Time ($T_{90}$) | < 30 seconds |
| Accuracy | ± 5% of full scale |
| Ingress Protection | IP65 or IP66 (Depending on housing) |
3. Key Advantages
-
High Selectivity: The NDIR sensor is highly specific to $CO_2$, meaning it won’t be triggered by other gases, reducing false alarms.
-
Long Lifespan: Unlike electrochemical sensors that “wear out,” infrared sensors have a long operational life and are not easily “poisoned” by chemicals.
-
Stability: Features excellent zero-point stability and minimal drift over time, reducing the frequency of calibration.
-
Robust Build: Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, including high humidity and temperature fluctuations.
4. Product Applications
This detector is essential in any facility where $CO_2$ is stored, used, or produced as a byproduct:
-
Food & Beverage: Monitoring carbonation areas, breweries, and wineries.
-
Cold Storage: Detecting leaks in refrigeration systems using $CO_2$ as a refrigerant ($R744$).
-
Laboratories & Medical: Ensuring safety in cryogenic storage areas and incubators.
-
Water Treatment: Monitoring $CO_2$ used for pH adjustment.
-
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): Large-scale HVAC integration for ventilation control.
5. Important Considerations & Precautions
Critical Safety Note: $CO_2$ is heavier than air. The placement of the detector is vital for effective safety monitoring.
-
Installation Height: Since $CO_2$ tends to settle in low-lying areas, sensors should generally be installed close to the ground (approx. 0.3 to 0.5 meters above the floor) unless air currents dictate otherwise.
-
Avoid Obstructions: Do not install the sensor behind pillars or in “dead air” spaces where gas flow is restricted.
-
Regular Calibration: Even though NDIR sensors are stable, MSA recommends periodic bump tests and annual calibrations to ensure life-safety compliance.
-
Warm-up Time: Upon powering up, allow the device to stabilize (usually 10–15 minutes) before relying on readings or performing calibration.
