Typical applications

The GSM-VOC(C7H8) sensor is designed for monitoring toluene in environments such as paint shops, printing works, chemical and pharmaceutical plants, paint and thinner stores, vehicle repair workshops, and other enclosed spaces where volatile organic compounds may accumulate.

Toluene (C7H8)

Toluene is a volatile organic compound that readily evaporates into the air and can build up to dangerous levels in enclosed spaces. Although it has a characteristic odour, it cannot be relied upon as a warning sign, because the sense of smell quickly adapts with repeated exposure and stops detecting it. Exposure may lead to headaches, nausea, dizziness or impaired concentration, and at higher concentrations or with prolonged exposure there is a risk of serious damage to the nervous system, liver and kidneys.

Easy installation

The smart sensor offers a major advantage during calibration – the entire process can be carried out separately from the installed detector. While the E2639 main unit remains in operation at the installation site, the GSH sensor module can be removed and calibrated independently – at the distributor’s premises, the integrator’s premises, or directly at the Evikon MCI manufacturer. This is done using the dedicated SSC configurator, through which the module is connected to a computer. Once calibrated, the GSH module simply needs to be plugged back in via the M12 connector – without opening the instrument housing, without complicated procedures, and without interrupting the entire installation.
