TR-1000 Professional Chemical Plant Ammonia Gas Meter
Product Introduction
The
TR-1000 Professional Chemical Plant Ammonia Gas Meter is a fixed online gas
detection instrument designed for industrial environments requiring continuous
toxic gas monitoring. Featuring a highly sensitive sensor, intelligent
microcontroller-based monitoring circuitry, and standard three-wire 4–20 mA
output, it supports integration with gas alarm controllers, distributed control
systems (DCS), and programmable logic controllers (PLC).
Its
explosion-proof cast aluminum housing, IP66 protection, and resistance to
common sensor contaminants make it suitable for demanding applications in
chemical plants, petrochemical facilities, metallurgy, power generation, and
other industrial production and storage areas.
The
TR-1000 platform supports multiple gas detection configurations, including
ammonia (NH₃), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen
sulfide (H₂S), chlorine (Cl₂), formaldehyde (HCHO), and toluene (C₇H₈), depending
on the selected sensor and measurement range.

time of 30 seconds or less.
7. Reliable Online
Monitoring: Designed for continuous gas detection in industrial
production and storage environments.
8. Flexible System Integration: Compatible
with the manufacturer's gas alarm controllers and suitable for connection to
compatible DCS and PLC systems.
9. Long-Distance
Transmission: Specified transmission distance of up to 1,000 m, subject
to cable selection, installation conditions, and signal-system design.
Working Principle
The
TR-1000 uses gas detection technology selected according to the target gas and
sensor configuration. The specified detection principles include
electrochemical sensing and catalytic combustion.
In
an electrochemical configuration, the target gas interacts with the sensing
electrode, generating an electrical signal related to its concentration. The
instrument's electronic circuit processes this signal and converts it into a
standardized 4–20 mA output for monitoring and control systems.
The
catalytic combustion principle is applicable to suitable combustible gas
configurations. The exact sensing principle depends on the selected model and
target gas; the supplied gas-specific table identifies electrochemical
detection for the listed TR-1000 configurations.

Note: The source specifications do not provide complete
accuracy, detection-principle, or measuring-range information for every gas
option. Confirm the target gas, sensor type, range, and calibration
requirements when ordering. The stated ±1% LEL repeatability should be verified
for non-combustible toxic gas configurations.
