Standalone Sensor Module
Model MAT4-20iq

Description
Matheson's Model MAT4-20IQ Standalone Sensor Module is a completely self-contained, microprocessor-based gas detection assembly which can be calibrated without opening the housing cover in a classified area. This is especially important in hazardous or explosive locations where exposure of the electronics to the ambient environment is not acceptable. All interfacing with the MAT4-20IQ is done via magnetic sensors located on the front panel, which are activated using a magnetic tipped wand.
Unlike Matheson's line of Fixed Gas Detection Systems, no control module is necessary with the MAT4-20IQ. All of the sensor's electronics are located inside the explosion proof housing. The MAT4-20IQ provides a standard linear 100-500µA, or an optional 4-20mA output (isolated or non-isolated), which can be used to transmit the sensor's information to a readout or relay device, or to a central facility control system.
A digital readout is provided in the module to display the concentration locally. Note that there are no provisions in the MAT4-20IQ for Warn/Alarm setpoints. These, as well as any corresponding relays need to be provided by the central facility control system.

Solid State Sensors
Reliable, long-life solid-state sensors are available for more than 140 different gases and vapors in a multitude of detection ranges, from ppm to percent levels.
