Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection, a portfolio of safety instrument businesses of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has unveiled its new-generation FREEDOM range of gas detectors. The series is designed for industrial sites where gas detection technologies must demonstrate reliable monitoring with minimal maintenance requirements.
Available in three models – FREEDOM GP, XP and Xi – the range provides detection solutions for applications spanning oil and gas, general industry, utilities, water treatment, laboratories and hazardous environments, among others. Built around a common electronic architecture, the new FREEDOM series is designed to simplify servicing, standardise components and reduce TCO across the product lifecycle.
“FREEDOM represents a step forward in providing customers with a gas detection solution that is both more intuitive and serviceable, as well as more cost-effective,” said Régis Prévost, product line manager at Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection. “By combining a common platform with intelligent connectivity and features such as cartridge replacement under power in a hazardous area, without compromising certification compliance, we’re helping users maintain safety and operational continuity while reducing the demands of routine maintenance.”
With a broad selection of detection technologies and designs that withstand demanding operating conditions, the FREEDOM family is able to deliver user-friendly, reliable gas detection across diverse industrial environments. The FREEDOM Xi model gas detector, for example, is built to allow uninterrupted operation and optimal detection in the harshest domains. Another model, FREEDOM XP, is engineered for explosive atmospheres, meeting stringent performance and functional safety requirements that include SIL2/SC3 High Demand certification.
A key feature arrives courtesy of Teledyne Gas and Flame SYNC (GF Sync), a dedicated Bluetooth app that enables users to configure, calibrate and diagnose FREEDOM gas detectors directly from a mobile device. The app also supports automatic certificate generation, simplifying compliance and reporting while providing convenient access to essential functions.
Across the range of gas detectors, multicolour displays and peripheral LEDs provide clear visual indications of normal operation, faults and alarms, making detector status easier to identify at a glance.
