3M Scott Safety Freedom 5000 Transmitter

3M Scott Safety Freedom 5000 Transmitter

The 3M Scott Safety Freedom 5000 Transmitter are fully-featured 4-20mA, loop powered transmitters designed to reliably detect oxygen, hydrogen, and any of a number of other toxic gases.

Key Features

  • Freedom from stocking additional electronics. Universal transmitter electronics for all gas models.
  • Freedom from intrusive operation/calibration. A simple magnetic interface and local inhibit eliminates special tools or expensive IR remote controls.
  • Freedom from bump testing Sensor Self Test option automatically challenges sensor with real gas.

  • • Freedom from sensor pins or wires. Patented elastomeric connector makes for quick easy installation.
  • • Freedom from field maintenance and calibration. Smart sensor technology permits sensor removal for remote calibration. Let Scott instruments calibrate your sensors with the CALPLUS sensor calibration program.
  • • Freedom from zero drift & interfering gases. Rock Solid Sensor Technology offers super stability and selectivity.
  • • Freedom from sensor failure without warning. Built-in calibration factor notifies user of remaining sensor life.
  • • Freedom from RFI/EMI induced alarms. Design concept eliminates interference through electronic design versus shielding.
  • • Freedom from sensor warm-up times. An internal battery keeps the sensor "warm" for immediate start up.
  • • Freedom from corrosion. All plastic (5000) and stainless steel construction with conformal coated internal circuitry.

The Freedom series transmitters offer full-featured 4-20mA, loop powered transmitters designed to reliably detect oxygen, hydrogen, and any of a number of other toxic gases. Its universal electronics and flexible, user-friendly features drive down gas detection costs for almost any facility.

Advanced Gas Sensors and Universal Electronics

The Freedom series advanced GasPlus sensor technology combines with the Freedom's universal electronics to simplify use and minimize maintenance requirements of your gas detection system. Every Scott instruments "smart" sensor provides data such as gas type, range, and calibration data to the universal electronics for automatic transmitter configuration. A built-in lithium battery keeps the sensor "hot" which eliminates the need for sensor warm-up time. On board electronics enables users to maintain and calibrate the sensor remote from the instrument. A patented elastomeric connector eliminates pin alignments and makes sensor replacement quick and easy.

Easy Installation, Operation and Maintenance

The unique electrical design of the Freedom transmitter and sensor virtually eliminate false alarms due to RFI/EMI sources. The transmitter can be mounted directly to rigid conduit and is available with several optional adapters including wall/surface mount and a special "L" shaped bracket to allow mounting on top of flat surfaces such as gas cabinets. Freedom series transmitters are also available with quick connect 1/4 turn sample draw and (flat or round) duct mount adapters.

The sensor can be remoted from the transmitter up to 50 feet with or without conduit. A special option allows separation of three feet, perfect for mounting the sensor near ground level while keeping the display at eye level. This option includes flexible conduit. Operating our Freedom transmitters is simple and intuitive. After start-up, the transmitter automatically configures to the sensors parameters. The "missing sensor indicator" alerts operators that the sensor is either missing or the sensor transmitter connection has been broken.

Calibration is non-intrusive, performed by touching a magnet to the "Z" (zero) and "S" (span) markings on the enclosure. A programmable local inhibit feature and standard local display allows true one-man calibration.

Series 5600 transmitters also offer an optional integral relay board providing fail, low, and high 5A SPDT relay contacts. A remote reset terminal is provided and the high alarm can be configured as acknowledgeable. Relays can be configured to activate on either rising or falling gas concentration.
