When Are Explosion-Proof Gas Detection Sensors Necessary?
In settings where flammable vapors or gases are present, under the right conditions, as little as a spark can cause an explosion.
These settings are known as Class 1, Division 1 and Class 1, Division 2 locations.

Explosion-Proof Gas Detection Sensor Product Options
When customers require an explosion-proof gas detection system,
we typically recommend the RKI M2A™.
RKI M2A™
- Engineered Support: Hawk works closely and supports engineers with product submittals, system layout support, SOP support, and master specification support.
- Routine Maintenance & Repair: We provide regular maintenance and calibration services to keep your system in compliance, and repair services to address any malfunctions in system operation.
The RKI M2A is a standalone explosion-proof transmitter known for its ease of use, versatility, and accuracy:
- Ease of Use
- Simple setup with intuitive push buttons and OLED menus
- Digital display of status/alarm lights and gas concentrations
- Plug-in design that eliminates the need for tools for field replacement
- Fewer adjustments necessary due to aging with automatic zero-drift corrections
- Field calibration possible with just one person
- Zeroing, calibration, and declassification possible without opening the unit’s housing
- Typically lasts two-plus years
- Versatility
- Capable of functioning independently or as a part of an integrated system
- Connects to virtually any controller, PLC, or DCS with an analog or digital signal
- Provides a 4-20 mA output as well as a Modbus digital output
- Accuracy
- Includes two levels of alarms plus a fail alarm, all of which have relays
- Provides highly stable readings because of its automatic zero-drift correction
- Provides highly specific readings promptly with electromechanical plug-in sensors
