MKI M2A-XL Stand Alone Transmitter

MKI M2A-XL Stand Alone Transmitter

RKI
TF: 002757-HW-RKI-057
Overview

The RKI M2A-XL is a state-of-the-art transmitter that can operate as an independent, stand-alone monitor or as part of an integrated system. The M2A-XL connects with an analog or digital signal to virtually any controller, PLC, or DCS. Setup procedures are simplified with user friendly push buttons and OLED menus. It utilizes a magnetic wand technique for performing non-intrusive calibration. The M2A-XL provides an automatic zero drift correction feature, which results in more stable readings and reduces the need for adjustments due to sensor aging.

WarrantyOne year material and workmanship

The housing of the M2A-XL does not need to be opened for zeroing or calibration, making it unnecessary to declassify the area for routine maintenance. It is designed so that a complete field calibration can be performed by one person. Sensor construction is rated Class I, Div. 1 Groups B, C, D for flammables, CO, H2S, O2, and CO2, and Class I, Div. 2 for all other toxics.

The transmitter provides a 4-20 mA output in addition to a Modbus digital output. It also has two levels of alarms with relays, plus a fail alarm with relay. A digital display of the gas concentration, as well as alarm and status lights, can be viewed through the front window.
