Product Overview
The SG100 series is a cost-effective fixed gas detector designed for continuous 24/7 monitoring of toxic gases, oxygen, flammable gases, and VOC. Taking oxygen (O₂) as an example, it uses an electrochemical sensor to measure concentrations from 0–30%VOL with high accuracy and stability.
The detector is IECEx and ATEX certified with explosion-proof grade Ex db IIC T6 Gb and Ex db ia IIC T6 Gb, making it suitable for hazardous areas. It features IP66/IP68 water and dust resistance, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments.
The SG100 offers multiple output options: 3-wire 4-20mA analog, RS485 Modbus, and optional HART communication, making it compatible with most control systems (PLC, DCS, SCADA). Optional 3 relays (low/high/fault alarm) can directly control external devices such as horns, strobe lights, and exhaust fans. Optional wireless modules (LoRa, 4G) enable remote data access via PC, laptop, or mobile phone.
A key feature is the intelligent plug-and-play sensor module – calibration can be performed using Safegas PC software, and the module can be replaced easily without disassembling the whole unit. The detector comes with a standard mounting bracket and splash guard, weighs only 1.0 kg, and is easy to install by one person.
Why Monitor Oxygen (O₂)?
Oxygen is essential for life, but both oxygen deficiency and oxygen enrichment pose serious risks in industrial environments.
| Condition |
Concentration |
Health & Safety Risk |
| Oxygen Deficiency |
<19.5% VOL |
Dizziness, rapid breathing, loss of coordination, unconsciousness, death (below 10%) |
| Normal |
20.9% VOL |
Safe for normal work |
| Oxygen Enrichment |
>23.5% VOL |
Increased fire and explosion risk; materials ignite more easily |
Common sources of oxygen hazard:
- Confined spaces – Tanks, pipelines, sewers, silos, vaults (oxygen displaced by other gases)
- Inert gas purging – Nitrogen, argon, or CO₂ used to purge vessels can displace oxygen
- Chemical reactions – Oxidation processes consume oxygen
- Leaks from oxygen cylinders or lines – Can cause localized oxygen enrichment
- Fermentation and biological processes – consume oxygen and produce CO₂ or methane
- Welding and cutting – Can consume oxygen in enclosed areas
Where SG100 is used for oxygen monitoring:
- Confined space entry – Pre-entry and continuous monitoring in tanks, manholes, and ductwork
- Oil & gas refineries – Process areas, storage tanks, and pipeline pigging stations
- Chemical plants – Reactors, mixing vessels, and storage areas
- Wastewater treatment plants – Digesters, headworks, and lift stations
- Mining – Underground mines, tunnels, and ore pass chutes
- Food & beverage – Nitrogen-purged packaging lines, cold storage, and fermentation rooms
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing – Cleanrooms, incubators, and biological safety cabinets
- Laboratories – Fume hoods, glove boxes, and animal housing areas
- Power generation – Boiler rooms, turbine enclosures, and coal handling areas
- Marine & shipbuilding – Cargo holds, ballast tanks, and engine rooms
