Description
These Methyl Bromide sensors contain all the necessary optics, electronics and firmware to provide a calibrated and linearised output for the detection of Methyl Bromide gas over the range 0 - 25,000 ppm. Note however that due to the nature of this gas, we cannot guarantee compliance with the temperature performance specification on the hydrocarbon sensor data sheets. Refer to data sheet TDS0050 for further information.
They are are intended for use either in non-certified gas detection equipment or in hazardous area certified equipment where the equipment manufacturer provides the necessary protection by means of a separately certified explosion protected housing.
The sensors are contained in a stainless steel housing fitted with a single protective stainless steel mesh. This ensures a minimum response time to gas in applications where the sensor is to be fitted within a separately certified explosion protected housing protected by a sintered flame arrestor such as a sinter.
The construction of the non-certified types provide a small cost saving compared with the certified types.
The sensors can be used to measure Methyl Bromide gas within a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. The standard measurement range available is 0 - 25,000ppm Methyl Bromide. If you have a requirement for a particular non-standard range then please contact us and we will be please to assist you with your application.
A separately available Configuration Unit enables users to customise certain parameters within the Premier sensor in order to suit their particular requirements - see below.
Sensor Order Codes
The sensors are within the Premier Hydrocarbon series which commence with the code MSH-P/HC/NC followed by a number of other options such as the number of pins, bridge or voltage output, positive or negative supply etc.
Due to the wide number of variations available, we have published a data sheet that provides detailed instruction of the various options that make-up the ordering code information. To download a copy, click on the following link >> Ordering Details
