1.1 Correct Use
The PrimaX Gas Transmitters are fixed gas transmitters for measuring toxic or combustible gases and for
monitoring oxygen deficiency, excess or inerting. They are suitable for outdoor and indoor applications
without limitations, e.g. offshore industry, chemical and petrochemical industry, water and sewage industry.
The signal of the transmitter can be used in combination with MSA control units for further actions in safety or
non safety applications, e.g. MSA SUPREMA, Gasgard XL, 9010/9020.
The two versions of the gas transmitter are delivered either in a flameproof or in a intrinsically safe enclosure.
The electrical parts and interfaces have the same basic functionality.
It is imperative that this operating manual be read and observed when using the device. In particular, the
safety instructions, as well as the information for the use and operation of the device, must be carefully read
and observed. Furthermore, the national regulations applicable in the user's country must be taken into
account for a safe use.
