Advanced Safety Integrity – The best solution for gas
detection in critical safety applications.

SensAlert ASI provides enhanced protection and

dependability for critical safety applications where
personnel, processes, and facilities are at risk. The third-
party certified SIL-2 SensAlert ASI offers dependability
and versatility while remaining the easiest to install,
commission, operate, and maintain.

Critical Protection with Global Approval

SensAlert ASI is third-party certified to IEC61508 Level 2 (SIL-2) for both hardware
and software with certification to global hazardous area and performance
standards. The Test-on-Demand feature with on-board gas generator provides
remote functionality checks with generated gas while Predictive Sensor End-of-Life
Indication provides advanced warning of impending sensor failure.

Unmatched Application Versatility

SensAlert ASI is a universal instrument platform for toxic & combustible gas
detection and oxygen monitoring. Intrinsically safe or explosion proof installation
configurations with options for remote sensors and gassing, duct mount, and
sample-draw maximize application versatility. Intrinsically safe or explosion
proof installation configurations for remote sensors and gassing, duct mount,
and sample-draw maximize application versatility. The sensor head accepts all
Plus Series sensor technologies – infrared, catalytic bead, and electro-chemical.
Assignable and configurable relays together with communication options provide
broad flexibility. The SensAlert ASI I.S. sensor head can be remote mounted up
to 100 feet (30m) from the transmitter providing a useful option to position the
transmitter in a personnel-accessible location while positioning the sensor closer
to potential hazards.

Easy to Install, Commission, Operate, and Maintain

SensAlert ASI is engineered to overcome the challenges users face with traditional
gas detectors. The universal instrument platform for all gas and sensor types
provides common installation for each point with vertical or horizontal installation
options and removable plug-type terminal blocks to simplify wiring and
commissioning. Transportable calibration enables sensor calibration and alarm
set-up in a safe location, then installing sensors into the intrinsically safe sensor
head without declassifying the area or removing power from the instrument. Plug-
n-play capability automatically uploads operating parameters and diagnostics from
the sensors upon sensor installation. A Sensor Calibration & Exchange Program
schedules delivery of factory calibrated sensors to the user’s plant or facility for a
savings on maintenance and supply costs.

Detection at every point.

Non-intrusive User Interface
SensAlert ASI transmitters have a non-intrusive menu driven interface designed for
effortless set-up and maintenance. The menu is free from complex icons and symbols
and does not require use of remotes or connectors to interface with the transmitter.
Below are actual menus and system displays.
