Groveley Detection: GDU-Incus granted safety integrity rating SIL 2

The GDU-Incus ultrasonic gas leak detector has been granted SIL 2 certification.
   The unit is already IECEx-approved for use in hazardous areas and ATEX-certified to Ex d ib IIB+H2 T4.
   Manufacturer Groveley Detection has over 19 years experience supplying fire and gas detection equipment for hazardous areas and the GDU-Incus represents its latest development in ultrasonic gas leak detection technology.
   Utilising extremely stable piezoelectric technology, the GDU-Incus offers a large coverage area of up to 40m (pressure, leak size and background noise level dependant) with a detection range between 25kHz to 100kHz and an instantaneous speed of response.
   The IP66/67 rated detector provides unrivalled protection from the harshest of weather – its -55°C to +85°C operating temperature ensures functionality in even extreme environments.
   The GDU-Incus is factory set and requires no field calibration. It needs minimal maintenance and reliable operation is ensured using a continuous electronic self test.
   Safety Integrity Level is the measure of functional safety of electrical and electronic safety related systems.
