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.
Purpose-built for industry. Simplified by design.
Safeguard combines a feature-rich detector with Smart Sensor intelligence and app-enabled setup and calibration—reducing complexity without sacrificing capability.
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.
