FalcoTAC Fixed VOC Detector

Overview

Ion Science's Falco^TAC Fixed PID has been designed to accurately and reliably provide continuous detection of highly toxic aromatic compounds (TACs) such as benzene, toluene, xylene isomers.

Designed for plant-wide safety and the on-going protection of workers in the global petrochemical and oil and gas applications,The Falco^TACdetector gives you cutting-edge performance; reliability, accuracy and results you can trust so you can be sure workforce and plant receive on-going maximum protection. With its humidity resistance and anti-contamination design drift is minimised and run-time extended, saving both time and cost to your business.

Offering the ultimate in safety, Falco^TACeliminates false readings found with other competing PID technology. Its multi-coloured LED status display can be seen from a distance of 20m in sunlight ensuring you are clearly alerted to hazards present.

Falco^TAChas an externally located Intrinsically Safe sensor for quick and easy servicing without the need for a hot work permit. Dual certification allows the Ion Science Falco^TAC to be serviced and calibrated in a hazardous environment without having to remove power.

Simple to operate the Ion Science Falco^TAC fixed VOC detector has an intuitive user interface. It has five magnetic switches with LED confirmation, a high contrast OLED screen and graphical interface ensuring installation and servicing are both quick and easy.

RS485 (Modbus®), 4-20 mA and Relay outputs are standard for all models. The Relay outputs are configurable for either high and low alarms, fault conditions or test cycle synchronisation.

The Ion Science Falco^TACFixed VOC Detector offers the ultimate in flexibility and can be purchased in either a pumped or diffused variant. With a diffused model, servicing costs are kept to a minimum with no pump to maintain. The Ion Science FalcoTAC is available in 4 detection ranges.
