Intrinsically Safe / ATEX Gas Detector – Vanguard WirelessHART – United Electric
ABLE Instruments are United Electric’s Exclusive Representative for Sales and Service in the UK and Ireland, including the Vanguard Intrinsically Safe / ATEX Toxic and Combustible WirelessHART Gas Detector. With a 5-year battery and 1-button calibration, the Vanguard is a gas detector built for the wireless world. The new Vanguard WirelessHART gas detector’s flexible monitoring of toxic or combustible gas can save lives. Its ultra-long battery life saves maintenance trips. Its easy pushbutton calibration; mount-anywhere mobility; and seamless, plug-and-play interoperability save time and trouble. And of course, eliminating long wiring runs saves thousands in installation costs.
Features:
- ITS 16 ATEX Gas Detector 18474, II 2 (2) G Ex db ia [ia] IIB T4 Gb hazardous location approvals
- Methane (CH₄), Hydrogen Sulphide (H₂S), Ammonia (NH3), Propane (C3H8) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) gases
- Wireless capability
- Field interchangeable toxic / combustible gas sensors
- Hot swappable battery (swappable in the hazardous area)
- Easy calibration and operation
- 5+ year battery life
- Innovative FLEXmount system provides flexible, easy mounting and fast easy removal or relocation

The Vanguard WirelessHART ATEX / Intrinsically Safe gas detector is ideal for the monitoring of toxic and combustible gases without the need for costly and fixed wiring. With a five year battery life and one button calibration, the Vanguard detector is easy to operate and maintain. Each Vanguard detector has a WirelessHART transceiver, an antenna, a display, a long life power module, a gas sensor, and a signal processor for the gas sensor. Vanguard uses a sensor architecture trademarked “Flexsense,” which allows the sensor to identify its target gas and self-configure to a Vanguard transmitter upon connection.
Typical applications that utilise Vanguard include storage tank monitoring, fence line and emissions monitoring, well plugging and abandonment (P&A).
Gas detector performance testing per UL/IEC 60079-29-1 pending.
