Conspec Controls Releases Optio XP® Explosion-Proof, Single/Multi-Head Gas Detector Rated for Class I/Division I Hazardous Areas

CHARLEROI, Pa., Oct. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Conspec Controls announced the release of Optio XP®, a multi-head, wired gas detector and the first of Conspec's new Central Processor Module (CPM) based product line.  An explosion-proof gas monitor, Optio XP is rated for Class I Divisions 1 & 2, and sets new standards for point gas detection in oil and gas applications – drill pads, rigs, compressor stations, gas plants, transmission stations and terminals – and other industrial locations.

Optio XP's design and plug-and-play capabilities simplify installation, calibration and maintenance. Its features address inherent problems with current gas detectors and provide unparalleled flexibility for monitoring and detection in indoor and outdoor applications:

• Industry leading IR/MIR sensor technology incorporates moisture protection and compensation that recognize humidity changes and prevent false positives that can trigger unnecessary equipment shutdowns. 
• Optio XP may be used as a single-point detector with an integral sensor, or configured with up to six remote sensors.
• Optio XP's monitor can be configured with up six pre-calibrated, plug-and-play electrochemical sensors to detect gases like H2S, O2, CO, NO, and NO2, and up to 3 IR sensors to detect CH4, propane, other hydrocarbons, and CO2.
• Optio XP's intuitive graphical interface and LCD display allow users to view up to four sensor readings at one time, and automatically adjust to the number of installed sensors.
• Optio XP's enhanced electrical circuitry reduces instances of equipment failure due to power surges, and optimizes production run times.  

"We designed Optio XP for fast, simple installation, superior reliability and ease of use," said Ed Koush, vice president of engineering. "Optio XP offers a rugged, reliable solution for meeting or surpassing safety standards, maximizing production time and safeguarding producers' investment."

"Optio XP addresses challenging production conditions and provides superior detection and maximum protection," said Rob Collins, general manager, North America. "Our CPM-based technology sets new standards for the oil and gas market and other industries. Optio XP is the first of what will be a comprehensive product line."
