Incus Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector

Wide Area Coverage for Pressurized Gas Leaks
The Incus is an advanced gas leak detector that
uses four sensitive acoustic sensors to monitor
wide areas for the ultrasound generated from
pressurized gas releases.
Ideally suited for monitoring ventilated outdoor applications,
the Incus has been engineered to withstand extreme
conditions. Detection is unaffected by inclement weather, wind,
leak direction, or gas dilution, with fast speed of response.

Instantaneous response to all gas leaks (LEL or ppm)
Operates in extreme temperatures
Automated electronic self-test offers failsafe operation
Widest area of coverage through four independent sensors
4–20 mA analog or stepped, “multi-drop” RS485 digital
interface, and HART® communication protocol
Certified worldwide for hazardous locations
Innovative mapping tool helps optimize coverage for a
target risk
Programmable time delays screen intermittent unwanted
alarm sources

Four Multi-Directional Sensor Heads
Quad sensing heads provide the widest overall detection range
available on the market. The sensing heads are independent
with the detector output being based on the highest ultrasound
measured by any one head. If one or more sensing heads fails
complete coverage is not lost.

Field-proven Ultrasonic Sensor Principle
Incus responds to the ultrasound produced by pressurized
gas releases, a technology proven with hundreds of detectors
installed worldwide.

Sealed Sensor Housing
Piezoceramic sensor heads have no moving parts and can
therefore be completely sealed against moisture, corrosive
atmospheres, and industrial contaminants.

Sensor Design - They Just Keep Working
Each sensor is completely free of moving parts and will not
age, drift, and never need replacing under normal operating
conditions. Maintenance free protection
with proven reliability.

Continuous Self-test Ensures
Instrument Health
Electronic self-test checks the detector every 320 ms by
sending an amplitude signal through the sensing circuitry.
The sensor suffers no loss of detection while in test mode in
contrast to those based on diaphragm microphones.

Built for Extreme Conditions
The Incus is designed to operate at -40 °C to +85 °C and may
be supplied for monitoring areas of regard at -55 °C. Corrosion
resistant stainless steel housing is standard, units are ingress
rated to IP66/67 or NEMA Type 4X.
