Accutron IS

Intrinsically safe airflow monitor for coal mines.

The Accutron IS™ is an intrinsically safe ultrasonic airflow monitor that provides real time data on airflow in underground coal mines and fans. Real time data helps make informed mine ventilation decisions that improve safe working conditions and save money on ventilation costs.

Features

Accurate Readings

Bi-directional readings, cross sectional velocity averaging measurements, superior to single point measurement.

Reliable

Designed to perform in harsh industrial conditions, extreme noise, hi-velocity, and low-velocity applications.

Robust

Rugged and non-corrosive design that is not affected by temperature, humidity, pressure or dust.

Monitoring Airflow

The Accutron IS provides highly accurate measurement of velocity, direction and volume of air movement for underground coal mines.

Transducer Models

The Accutron IS offers two intrinsically safe sensor types for various airflow monitoring applications.
intrinsically Safe drift / tunnel sensor

Drift / Tunnel Sensor

Used for ramps, drifts, travel ways, shafts, tunnels and raises. The Accutron IS drift and tunnel sensor is intrinsically safe and features easy to install cable connectors.

intrinsically Safe industrial fan sensor

Fan Sensor

Used for surface intake and exhaust fans. The Accutron IS fan sensor is intrinsically safe, featuring a stainless steel mounting plate and ball and socket assembly for easy alignment.

J-Filter Technology

The Accutron IS features Accutron Digital Signal Processing (DSP). It provides advanced J-Filter noise discrimination and suppresses other background interferences. Advance digital signal processing detects false readings and sensor obstructions caused by moving vehicles and personnel. Never miss a reading, never get a spike.

Intrinsic Safety

Intrinsic safety is built in to the design of any electrical equipment designed for use in hazardous locations. As such the Accutron IS™ is suited for the conditions within a coal mine.

By definition Intrinsically safe is the requirement that the device not emit the energy required to ignite combustible materials. Methane and other gas releases can cause a great concern when ignited, though with an IECEx approved Accutron IS™ you can assure yourself that you have one fewer ignition point.
