Crowcon TXgard Combustible, Toxic and Oxygen Monitoring Gas Detectors

Crowcon's TXgard line of remote gas detectors provide a wide variety of configuration options for all gas detection applications.

The Flamgard and TXgard ‘Plus’ range of gas leakage detectors offers reliable detection of flammable, toxic or oxygen gases with a local display and optional relays. Three models are available to suit all requirements:


Flamgard Plus Gas Detector...


This is a Flameproof combustible gas detector that uses a pellistor-based sensor to detect explosive levels of hydrocarbons, hydrogen and other combustible gases. Flamgard Plus can also detect vapors, including leaded gasoline and aviation fuel.


TXgard Plus Gas Detector...


This is a flameproof toxic and oxygen gas detector that has a choice of sensors for a wide variety of applications.  Features local LED display and non-intrusive calibration.


TXgard-IS+ Gas Detector...


This is an Intrinsically Safe (IS) toxic and oxygen gas detector.  TXgard-IS+ is designed to detect a wide range of toxic gases when fitted with the appropriate sensor.


BPA Choice Manufacturer
