The new C2/TX Wireless Site Manager
is the heart of third-generation wireless
systems from GDS Corp. Designed to
monitor from 1 to 32 wireless GASMAX
TX gas detectors, the C2/TX incorporates
the latest features while retaining the
reliability and cost effectiveness of previous
generation products.
The C2/TX WSM and GASMAX TX
gas monitor have been designed from
the ground up to deliver the best wireless
solution for toxic and combustible gas
detection available. Designed specifically
for use with the new GASMAX TX gas
monitor, the C2/TX controller features
a high resolution LCD display and eight
relays that can be programmed to signal
multiple alarm levels, sensor fault,
communications fault or low battery.
Digitally Connected, Wireless Enabled
Unlike mesh networks and other systems
designed for short range applications, the
C2/TX utilizes Frequency-Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) modems that offer higher
power, longer range and lower susceptibility
to interference. An optional multi-interface
board supports an RS-232 or RS-485 wired
serial port for remote MODBUS access, a
solid-state data logger with USB interface,
a second 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz radio for
dedicated wireless remote access as well
as an 802.11 WiFi interface for access via
smartphones or tablets. WiFi-enabled C2/
TX controllers also feature an integrated
web server that allows users to remotely
view real-time data, historical information
and current configuration. With the correct
password, remote users can change system
setup variables. Finally, an optional satellite
/ cellular modem enables remote access
from anywhere in North America.
Simplified Setup
Unlike previous generation products
that required both the controller and gas
detector be individually configured for gas
type, engineering units, range and other
parameters, the C2/TX automatically
uploads the setup information from each
GASMAX TX gas monitor. This reduces
the possibility of errors and simplifies
initial setup.
Reliability
The C2/TX controller is designed for use
in Class I Division 2 hazardous areas. An
optional NEMA 7 enclosure allows use
in Class I Div 1 areas. Up to 12 watts of
24 VDC power is available for auxiliary
devices or transmitters. In addition, an
auxiliary 50 watt DC supply is available.
