auxiliary components are designed to meet IP64 and NEMA Type 4X
ratings for protection against dust and water ingress� The antenna port
includes an integrated, permanently attached lightning arrestor�
Intended Use
LocaXion Anchor is a component in the CONNEXT Wireless Gas
Detection System, a wireless personal gas detection solution for indus-
trial control� Detailed site evaluation and network planning processes,
together with Honeywell Analytic’s Location Accuracy Estimator Tool,
are required to determine placement location for optimum operation on
a wireless network�
About the CONNEXT Wireless Gas Detection
System
The CONNEXT Wireless consists of ConneX1, a wireless single gas
detector, LocaXion Anchor beacon devices, LocaXion Manager, and
the IntelliDoX Docking Module for ConneX1 detectors (IntelliDoX)�
The CONNEXT Wireless Gas Detection System provides enhanced
safety awareness, compliance and productivity� In the event wireless
connectivity is lost, worker safety protection is provided by the gas
detector� CONNEXT is not meant for non-gas detection related needs
such as access control, security, mustering, or personnel tracking�
Safety at a Glance
• See the safety status of your employees�
• See the level of gas concentrations�
• See what type of alarm is occurring: Gas, Panic, Man down�
• See the location of a gas incident in near real-time�
