MX62 64 Channel Gas Detection Controller

Technical Description – MX62 64 Channel Gas Detection Controller

Cost Effective and Secure Installation

The structure of the MX 62 system has been developed to provide redundancy. Reliable data is passed quickly from the detectors to the relays.

A Closer Look

Structured programming

The ConfigPro.exe software configures the MX 62 through a secure, password protected interface.

Saves Space and Optimises Cost
