Freedom 5000 transmitters provide a 4-20mA analogue output for the detection of Toxic and Oxygen gases. Gas readings can also be viewed locally on the TX display. Teledyne’s smart sensors transfer data such as gas type, range, and calibration information data to the universal electronics for automatic transmitter configuration. A missing sensor indicator alerts if there is no sensor or if not properly connected.

The built-in lithium battery keeps the sensor “hot,” which eliminates the need for sensor warm-up time. Onboard electronics enables users to easily zero and calibrate the sensor. An E-connector eliminates pin alignments and makes sensor replacement quick and easy.

With a two-wire loop-powered design and intrinsically safe housing, the product is easy to install and suitable for general industrial applications. The unique electrical design of the 5000 transmitter and sensor virtually eliminates false alarms due to RFI/EMI sources.

By combining advanced sensor technology with universal electronics and a common user interface across all configuration, Freedom 5000 helps users streamline the transmitter’s operation and maintenance requirements for its points of toxic gas detection.

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 ordered integral to the transmitter or remote on three feet of cable, perfect for mounting the sensor near ground level while keeping the display at eye level.

Operating Freedom transmitters is simple and intuitive. After start-up, the transmitter automatically configures to the sensor’s parameters. Calibration is non-intrusive, performed by touching a magnet to the “Z” (zero), “S” (span), and up and down arrow markings on the enclosure. A programmable local inhibit feature and standard local display allows true one person calibration.
