Product OverviewThe Uniphos 501 DT KwikSense Pro Smart Digital Gas Transmitter is a universal industrial transmitter designed for detection of toxic, oxygen and flammable gases. Compatible with KwikSense Smart Sensors, the 501 DT supports multiple sensor technologies and allows fast, tool-free sensor replacement. Transportable pre-calibrated sensors and non-intrusive calibration with a magnetic wand reduce downtime and enable safe operation in hazardous areas. The transmitter provides RS-485 MODBUS-RTU digital output, 4-20 mA analog output and optional HART protocol. Certified to ATEX, IECEx and SIL2 standards.
Applications- Oil, gas and petroleum facilities
- Petrochemical and chemical plants
- Pharmaceutical production
- Marine and offshore installations
- Fertilizer manufacturing
- Nuclear facilities
- Iron and steel plants
Features- Universal transmitter accepting multiple sensor technologies (EC, PELL, NDIR, PID, SS, MPS).
- Analog and digital outputs: 4-20 mA plus MODBUS over RS-485; HART optional.
- Pre-calibrated KwikSense Smart Sensors for rapid swap-out.
- Non-intrusive calibration using a magnetic wand — no enclosure opening required.
- Safety certifications: ATEX, IECEx, SIL2 (plus CE where applicable).
- Three configurable potential-free relay contacts for local control/alarms.
- Wide operating temperature range (sensor dependent): -40 to +65 °C.
- Bright 8 x 2 OLED display for clear readings and status.
