Sensitron

Sensitron is an Italian manufacturer that has specialized for decades in advanced gas detection technology and safety solutions for industry. The company develops and produces a wide range of gas detectors, gas sensors, test gas kits and central safety controllers used in environments where gas leaks pose a serious hazard to people and installations. Sensitron products comply with the strictest international standards for safety and reliability, including ATEX and SIL certifications.

The core product of Sensitron is the MULTISCAN series of central gas detection controllers. The MULTISCAN systems are modularly built and can be configured for simultaneous monitoring of multiple measuring points. From compact 8-channel systems to extensive 256-channel configurations, the MULTISCAN controllers offer complete flexibility for small and large industrial installations. The systems are equipped with clear visual and acoustic alarms and can be connected to BMS systems and process automation.

For the detection of harmful and explosive gases, Sensitron offers an extensive range of fixed and portable detectors. The LAGP and LAME series of gas detectors are available for a wide range of gas media, including flammable gases, toxic gases and oxygen. These detectors are housed in robust enclosures resistant to industrial conditions and can be installed in zones classified as potentially explosive (ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2).

Verkopershulp.nl supplies the complete Sensitron gas detection equipment range, including fixed detectors (LAGP, LAME), central controllers (MULTISCAN 8+, MULTISCAN++PK), test gas kits and associated accessories. All products are original and carry the required certifications. For project deliveries and complete gas detection systems, Verkopershulp.nl also offers project support and technical advice.

Sensitron also produces portable gas measurement equipment for maintenance personnel working in potentially hazardous spaces. These handheld detectors are compact, lightweight and easy to operate, making them ideal for use as personal protective equipment and for periodic inspections of process installations.

Sensitron has focused its R&D department in recent years on developing new sensor technologies, including photo-ionization detectors (PID) for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and electrocatalytic sensors for specific gas types. These sensors offer greater specificity and lower detection thresholds than traditional catalytic sensors, making them suitable for applications in the pharmaceutical industry, laboratories, and climate-critical environments.

The Sensitron MULTISCAN series is available in versions with RS485 Modbus and BACnet interfaces for easy integration into building management systems and industrial SCADA platforms. The modular design of the MULTISCAN system enables phased implementation, where the system can be expanded step by step as the installation grows. Verkopershulp.nl supplies complete Sensitron gas detection systems including all associated components and offers technical project support for new installations.

History

Sensitron was founded in Italy and has developed over the decades into a recognized specialist in gas detection technology for industrial safety applications. The company continuously invests in the development of new sensor platforms and detection technologies to meet the increasing demands in the field of industrial safety and environmental protection. Sensitron products are certified according to the most current European and international standards, including ATEX, IECEx and EN standards for gas detection. The MULTISCAN series controllers have become an industry standard for centralized gas detection monitoring in Europe. Sensitron strengthened its market position in Europe through collaboration with recognized safety engineering partners and building a broad distribution network. The continuous certification efforts for ATEX, IECEx, and EN standards guarantee that Sensitron products always comply with the current European and international safety standards for gas detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which gases can the Sensitron LAGP series detect?
The Sensitron LAGP series detectors are available in versions for flammable gases such as natural gas, propane, butane, hydrogen and various hydrocarbons. The detectors use a catalytic or infrared sensor and output a 4-20 mA signal compatible with all common Sensitron MULTISCAN controllers and third-party systems.
How many measuring points can a Sensitron MULTISCAN controller monitor?
The Sensitron MULTISCAN series is available in various configurations: the basic MULTISCAN 8+ monitors 8 measuring points, while the MULTISCAN++PK series is available in 32, 64, 128 and 256 channel versions. For large industrial complexes, multiple controllers can be linked for centralized monitoring of hundreds of measuring points.
Are Sensitron gas detectors ATEX certified for use in potentially explosive zones?
Yes, the Sensitron LAGP and LAME series gas detectors are available with ATEX certification for installation in zones 1 and 2 (gas hazardous) and zones 21 and 22 (dust hazardous). These certified versions are housed in explosion-protected enclosures and comply with the European ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. Verkopershulp.nl only supplies certified original Sensitron products.
How often should Sensitron gas sensors be calibrated?
Sensitron recommends calibrating gas sensors at least once a year using a calibrated test gas mixture. Verkopershulp.nl supplies Sensitron MINIFLOW test gas kits with the correct gas concentrations for calibration of the various sensor types. More frequent calibration may be necessary depending on environmental conditions and the safety requirements of your installation.
Can I integrate Sensitron detectors into my existing BMS system?
Yes, the Sensitron MULTISCAN controllers are equipped with standard communication interfaces including potential-free relay outputs, 4-20 mA analog outputs and optionally Modbus RTU/TCP or BACnet communication. This enables integration with virtually any building management system (BMS), SCADA system or PLC. Verkopershulp.nl can provide technical advice on integration possibilities.
What is the difference between the LAME and LAGP series Sensitron detectors?
The Sensitron LAME series is designed for the detection of toxic gases such as CO, H2S, SO2, Cl2 and NO2, while the LAGP series is developed for flammable and explosive gases. Both series are available with 230V AC or 24V DC power supply, in versions for normal use and for ATEX-certified use in potentially explosive environments.
Does Verkopershulp.nl also supply complete Sensitron gas detection systems for a project?
Yes, Verkopershulp.nl supplies complete Sensitron gas detection systems including all necessary components: central controller, fixed detectors, test gas kits, mounting materials and cabling. For project deliveries, our team offers technical advice on system design and product selection based on the specific requirements of your installation and applicable standards.
