SA-220

for single sensor applications

The SA-220 is an advanced single gas detection transmitter designed for use with the full range of SA2 smart sensor modules. The diffusion-based detector identifies gas type, sensitivity range, and serial number at startup and guides the user through zero and span calibration with a full-color display. It supports configurable sleep modes, GPS entry details, 10 event logs, optional relays, an intrinsically safe sensor interface, and a choice of ABS plastic, aluminum, or stainless steel housings.

Two enclosures. One platform.

The SA-220 and SA-220B share the same electronics, SA2 smart sensor support, and output options. The difference between the two types is the enclosure.

SA-220B Gas Detector

The same detector platform in a different enclosure for installations with different mounting, material, or footprint requirements. The SA-220B can carry two sensors and higher rated relays, with an optional AC power supply.

  • Alternate enclosure with optional AC power supply
  • Higher rated relay contacts
  • Single or dual SA2 smart sensor configurations
  • Modbus RTU & 4-20 mA output

Industrial grade, but a more intelligent detector

Every other fixed gas detector on the market ships a dumb sensor plugged into a smart transmitter box. We collapsed them into one. That isn't a feature - it's a fundamentally different philosophy.

Fewer failure points

No transmitter-to-sensor wiring loop, no junction box translation layer. Two devices become one hardened unit.

Rugged design with advanced components

Built to meet harsh conditions with data visibility to continuously monitor performance. Know adjustments to sensor and detector prior to replacement.

Intelligence at the source

Diagnostics, event logging, and predictive data are captured at the sensor - not interpreted second-hand by a separate box.

Read the room from across the plant.

High Visibility, High Resolution TFT display with LEDs on the edges to clearly show readings of gases detected. No squinting at a 4-20mA panel from a distance.

User Configurable Alarm Levels

Built-in intelligence, field-ready.

Bluetooth (OpCheck) app

Pair and configure sensor, detector, alarms, and run Bump, Zero Cal and Span Cal tests from an Android or iOS phone.

Last 10 Events

10 event logs held on the device - every alarm, fault, and configuration change captured locally.

GPS location tagging

Capture GPS on device to support site monitoring and continuous leak issues.

Device tagging and serialization

Tag the device with a specific location and/or ID for reference on monitoring map or SCADA system. Leverage serialization for traceability for both sensor and detector.
