GDU-Incus Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector

Wide Area Coverage For Toxic and Combustible Gases
“SMART” Gas Detector Series

The GDU-Incus is an advanced leak detection system utilizing four ultrasensitive acoustic sensors which constantly monitor wide areas for
ultrasound generated from the release of pressurized gas. This advanced
gas sensing technology never requires calibration or replacement, for
the life of the instrument.
Ideally suited for monitoring ventilated outdoor applications, the
GDU-Incus has been engineered to withstand even the most extreme
conditions. Performance is not affected by inclement weather,
wind direction, leak direction or any potential gas dilution, with an
instantaneous response to all gas types.

Four Multi-Directional Sensor Heads

Sensor Design - They Just Keep Working

Quad, independent sensor heads provide the widest overall
detection range and reduce the possibility of obstruction,
common with a traditional single microphone design.t

Field-proven Ultrasonic Sensor Principle

Each sensor is completely free of moving parts and will
not age, will not drift, and will never need replacing under
normal working conditions. Maintenance free protection
with proven reliability.

Advanced acoustic sensors utilize the proven method of
ultrasonic gas leak detection to protect your plant and
personnel, with hundreds of installations worldwide.
Ultrasound is generated from pressurized leaks of any gas
type, providing simultaneous flammable and toxic gas
coverage. The presence of a concentrated gas cloud for
detection is never required, making this technology ideal
for wide area coverage in outdoor applications.

Continuous Self-test Functionality Ensures
Instrument Health

Sealed Ceramic Sensor Housing

Built for Extreme Conditions

Piezo-electric sensor heads are encased in a virtually
indestructible ceramic housing and sealed against
temperature, moisture, and industrial contaminants.

Electronic self-test checks the detector every160ms by
sending an amplitude signal through the sensing circuitry.
A detailed analysis of the result is then performed by the
internal system. Any compromised component or function
is instantly identified and a fault signal is communicated
back to the control system.
Dealing with extreme heat or cold? We’ve got you covered
with an operational temperature range of -40°C to +85°C!
Corrosion resistant stainless steel housing is standard, and
every unit is rated IP66/67.
