Description
Standard series infrared gas sensors provide a 'raw' signal output which needs to be be fed into external processing electronics and software. This may either be provided by the equipment manufacturer or by use of a purpose-designed OEM board available from Dynament Ltd.
They are contained in an Ex d stainless steel housing and are hazardous area certified to IECEx, ATEX and UL standards. The IECEx and ATEX certification also includes Group I (mining) certification. Further information.
The sensors can be used to measure Hydrocarbon gases within a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. The standard measurement ranges are LEL Hydrocarbons & 0-100% Volume Hydrocarbons. If you have a requirement for a particular measurement range not shown below then please contact us and we will be please to assist you with your application.
Dynament offers a standard range of Hydrocarbon sensors pre-calibrated to Methane, - refer to the 'Gas Sensor Types' menu on the navigation bar above.
Sensor Order Codes
The sensor order codes commence with the code MSH-HC/TC (for LEL Hydrocarbons) or MSH-HHC/TC (for 0-100% Volume Hydrocarbons) followed by other options such as a filter and/or isolated case - please refer to the data sheet above for full details.
OEM Board for use with Standard Series Sensors
Dynament can provide this board for original equipment manufacturers who do not wish to develop their own electronics and software. It provides a ready built and tested micro-controller based circuit board for use with its sensors.
The micro-controller contains all the necessary software and signal processing algorithms to enable the user to minimise the time-to-market of their product/s. Custom software development facilities are also available.
