IoT gas meter ARF8230FA-B02

Product overview
ATEX PULSE IoT sensor pre-wired with a GAZPAR 2-pin female connector to read pulse outputs from gas meters. Designed for periodic index transmission, flow monitoring and leak/fraud detection for industrial and utility gas metering applications.

Highlights OF THE IOT SENSOR

• Pre-wired with GAZPAR connector (2-pin, 1 m cable)
• Periodic monitoring of meter index and flow (min/max)
• Leakage and fraud detection with configurable alerts
• Local or remote configuration
• Battery-operated with soldered cell
• Time-stamped transmissions (LoRaWAN)
• Network test at start-up

ATEX product (usage zones)

• Gas & steam
  • Zone 1: immediate proximity to the sensitive area
  • Group IIC: hydrogen gases and vapors, acetylene …
• Dust
  • Zone 21: immediate proximity to the sensitive area

What the connected sensor does

• Monitor: periodically read and transmit gas meter index; monitor flow rates (min/max)
• Alert: trigger alarms when flow thresholds are exceeded or when a leak is detected (AND/OR logic)
