The Honeywell NH3 Gas Sensor EC-FX-NH3 is one tough NH3 gas sensor that can work in three harsh environments and comes with a 3 year warranty which is twice the warranty of most sensors. The Honeywell NH3 Gas Sensor EC-FX-NH3 also offers the stability you can count on and low cost you want, and is now the new gold standard in ammonia detection.

If you use ammonia as part of your refrigeration process, you face several challenges in protecting your plant from the danger and expense of ammonia leaks within cold storage, refrigerated process areas and the engine rooms. Introducing a better, tougher, longer-lasting sensor to cover your needs. The Honeywell NH3 Gas Sensor EC-FX-NH3 maintains sensitivity and accuracy — even with rapid changes in temperature and humidity.

Specifications
Manual

• 3 year warranty—twice the warranty of most sensors • Responds quickly to ammonia concentrations in low parts per million (PPM) • Rugged construction for long-term reliability • ATMOSTM Technology for environmental flexibility

Method: Electrochemical (diffusion)

Ranges: 0-100 PPM
0-200 PPM
0-250 PPM

Output: Isolated 4/20 mA, 700 ohms max at 24 VDC. Signal output reduces to 0.5 mA to indicate a fault condition.
RS-485 Protocol: MODBUS RTU

Accuracy: ±5% of full scale range at temperature of calibration. Contact Honeywell Analytics for additional details.

Repeatability: <10% of full scale

Response Time (T90): <30 seconds, 90% full scale

Sensor Viability Test: An internal microprocessor determines the sensor’s electrical viability every 24 hours (SensorCheckTM). Should the electrical viability test fail, a 0.5 mA signal will indicate a fault.

A red LED on the circuit board will indicate if a sensor is degraded electrically, depleted of electrolyte or disconnected.

4/20 mA Loop Viability Test: Internal monitoring of 4/20 mA output impedance.

Operating Humidity: 5%-100% RH (condensing). ATMOS equipped® enviro-adaptive technology option required for condensing conditions or refrigerated areas, and all outdoor applications.

Operating Temperatures: -50oF to +120oF (-45ºC to +50ºC). ATMOS® equipped enviro-adaptive technology option required for refrigerated areas or outdoors. 7

Sensor Pressure Limits: Atmospheric ±10%

Power Source: 24 VDC (recommended), 0.5 amp max. 14-26 VDC acceptable.

Cable Recommendations:
4/20 output: #18/3 shielded cable (Belden #8770 or equal), cable runs <1,500 feet.
Modbus RTU (RS-485): For communication cable, use 24 AWG twisted pair, shielded (Belden #9841 or equal), cable runs up to 2,000 feet.

Power Cable Recommendations:
For power cable, use 14 AWG (Belden #5100UE or equal), cable runs up to 1,000 feet, for each power supply. Larger power cable and/or additional power supplies may be required for longer cable runs and/or increased number of sensors. Due to variables such as sensor current draw, line loss, and cable size, contact Honeywell Analytics for help with power requirements.

Gas Sampling: Diffusion method is standard.

Enclosure: NEMA 1, gasketed, #16-gauge steel (standard) or stainless steel models are available.

NOTE: The EC-FX is for use in non-classified areas only.

Weight: 3 lbs.

Dimensions: 6″ high x 4″ wide x 3.5″ deep

Warranty: 3 Years
