APPLICATION
The Eagle 2000 Digital Communication Unit (DCU)
offers a convenient and economical means of obtain-
ing addressable gas detection. The DCU digitizes a
4 to 20 ma analog signal from a sensor/transmitter
and transmits the value as a process variable to the
Eagle communication gateway. All circuitry is housed
in a single explosion-proof/watertight enclosure for
location at the area of detection.
The DCU is provided in various configurations,
depending on the type of gas to be detected. All
DCUs contain a communication module and a termi-
nal wiring board. DCUs for detecting combustible
gas also contain a transmitter board.
The Eagle DCU is available for use with Det-Tronics’
combustible gas, oxygen and toxic gas sensor/trans-
mitters. The DCU can also be used with a wide vari-
ety of “third party” 4 to 20 ma analog instruments.
