2.5 Product overview
Do not use the GS1440 or GS2440EX sensor as a safety device to identify the hydrogen sulfide
concentration in an area. Obey all applicable regulations and occupational health and safety
precautions before entry into confined spaces and toxic hazard environments. Get advice from the
occupational health and safety department at the workplace or the government regulatory body to
identify the possible hazards and safety standards.
Do not point the measuring end of the sensor up or damage to the sensor can occur (e.g., during storage,
transport, calibration, installation and operation).
Keep the sensor at 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F) or damage to the sensor will occur.
The GS1440 and GS2440EX sensors continuously measure the hydrogen sulfide (H
concentration in liquids and air. Refer to
The sensor is used with a device that supplies 4–20 mA loop power to the sensor and receives the
sensor measurements as a 4–20 mA analog signal or RS-232 digital signal.
The GS1440 is made for use in non-hazardous locations. The GS2440EX is made for use in
hazardous locations.
