Description
This section describes the components of the combustible gas transmitter. The transmitter
is a 4 - 20 mA type detector head. It consists of the combustible gas detector, amplifier, and
junction box.

Combustible Gas Detector
The combustible gas detector includes the sensing elements, flame arrestor, detector
housing, and detector leads.
Sensing Elements
Two sensing elements are protected within the detector assembly. Through a series of
thermal and electronic reactions, these elements produce an electrical output that is
proportional to the detection range of the transmitter.
Flame Arrestor
The porous flame arrestor allows the target gas to diffuse into the detector assembly and
contact the sensing elements. The flame arrestor also contains sparks within the detector.
