MSA PrimaX® P — transmitter for combustible, toxic gases and oxygen
The PrimaX P is an industrial transmitter (measuring head) for detecting oxygen and toxic and combustible gases in indoor and outdoor applications. An explosion-proof housing made of powder-coated aluminum protects the device in the most demanding conditions, and a large LCD display and three LEDs provide clear status signalling. Replaceable plug-in sensors and a built-in calibration keypad significantly simplify installation and servicing.
