Dynament launches Premier R32 Refrigerant Sensor
Premier R32 Refrigerant Sensor - March 29th, 2021
Dynament is pleased to announce the release of the new Premier R32 Refrigerant NDIR sensor. The Premier infrared sensor measures R32 from 0 to 15% volume with a resolution of 0.05%.
These sensors contain all the necessary optics, electronics and firmware to provide a linearized, temperature-compensated output.
The sensors also offer a choice of output format; digital output (floating point and binary) or industry standard 0.4 to 2 volts.
The analog output is scalable in % volume or % full scale.
The sensors are available in either 'Ex' certified (IECEx, ATEX and mining M1) or ‘non-Ex’ models. All certified models are UL approved.
The sensors are compatible with the company's existing 'Premier' series and utilize the same technology which has proven itself over the past 14 years with over 700,000 in use worldwide in 40 countries in a wide variety of industries and applications.
The sensors can be pre-configured for specific measurement ranges according to customer requirements. The standard operating temperature range for the sensors is -20 to +50 degrees C and every sensor undergoes full temperature compensation over this range for R32 and characteristics are stored within the sensor electronics.

New Low Power Version of the World's Best Selling Miniature Infrared Gas Sensor
Low Power Platinum Infrared Gas Sensors
A new 'Low Power Platinum' version of the world's best selling miniature Infrared Gas Sensor series has been announced by Dynament Ltd. The new sensors consume only 15 milliamps @ 3 volts dc which represents an approximate reduction of 80% compared with the company's 'Premier' sensors. They are designed for use in solar, wireless and battery powered applications and will detect a wide range of Hydrocarbon gases such as Methane, Propane, etc and Carbon Dioxide.
The sensors are compatible with the company's existing 'Premier' series with all sensor varaints available in the new low power format. They also utilise the same technology which has proven itself over the past 10 years with over 500,000 in use worldwide in 40 countries in a wide variety of industries and applications including mining.
The sensors can be supplied in either 'Ex' certified form (including Mining) for direct use in Original Equipment Manufacturer's gas detection equipment or in 'Non-Ex' form for use in either non-hazardous area applications or in hazardous area certified equipment where the gas detector manufacturer provides the 'Ex' protection. Single-Gas versions are available for detection of either Hydrocarbons (e.g. Methane, Propane, etc) or Carbon Dioxide.
The company also offers a Dual-Gas version for the simultaneous measurement of Hydrocarbons / Carbon Dioxide within a single package. Both versions can accurately detect gas levels over the range of 0 to 100% volume. The sensors can be pre-configured for specific measurement ranges according to customer requirements.
