The VP-TX-120 Series of Gas Sensor/Transmitters are the inexpensive alternative to gas detection and environment monitoring. The combination of analog 4-20 mA output and the RS-485 digital port makes this unit the ideal choice to connect to analog controllers and digital PLC's. The various Gas Sensors available provide accurate level readings with a life spans of up to 2 years (for electrochemical sensors) and up to 7 years (for solid state sensors) under normal applications.

The on board temperature sensor and %RH (Humidity) sensor can be read directly from the RS-485 port or with the LCD display which is internally mounted. The user interface consists of a Status LED, LCD and three pushbuttons. The Status LED indicates OK, LOW, MID, HIGH Alarm. The three pushbuttons and internal LCD provide a convenient calibration method. There are NO potentiometers, all programming and calibration is performed digitally from the user interface. The compact ABS enclosure is rated for IP66 of IEC 529 and NEMA 1,2,4,4x,12 and 13. The interior is EMI/RFI shielded with a nickel conductive coating. For installation convenience, the VP-TX-120-CO comes complete with mounting hardware already installed.

The VP-TX-120 has two printed circuit card assemblies:
1. The main pcb has the LCD, User Interface components, relay. RS485 Rj45 jacks, and the field wiring terminal blocks. This module is common to all the various sensor types.
2. The sensor module is mounted on the door for the enclosure and has the gas sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, pwoer and status LEDs.
