Premier Gold 'Ex' Certified Sensors

Features

Single-gas types for Hydrocarbon gases or Carbon Dioxide.

Measurement ranges - 0-5% & 0-100% Volume (for Hydrocarbons, a reference calibration gas, e.g. Propane, is used to pre-calibrate the sensors - this must be specified when ordering).

Operating voltage 3 to 5 volts dc, nominal current = 80mA.

Wide operating temperature range of -20 to +50 deg. C.

Output format options - Digital, Analogue or Pellistor Replacement.

Instantly converts existing compatible pellistor-based instruments to infrared.

Sensors can be factory configured to customer specifications.

User configurable via a configuration unit available from Dynament.

Internal 'Flash' memory enables firmware updates via the configuration unit.

Industry standard size - 20mm diameter x 16.6mm high (excluding pins).

3-pin (pellistor replacement) or 5-pin versions available.

Optional replaceable, self-adhesive micro porous 14 micron filter.

Note - Infrared sensors cannot be used to detect Hydrogen gas.

FURTHER INFORMATION

These single-gas sensors contain all the necessary optics, electronics and firmware to provide a linearized, temperature compensated output. The sensors provide equipment designers with a fast track route to introduce the latest infrared technology for detection of gas without the requirement for any specialist knowledge.

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 (I M1, Ex db+ia I Ma). Certification Details.

The sensors can be used to measure either Hydrocarbon gases or Carbon Dioxide, depending upon the sensor type, within a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

The standard measurement ranges that are available for Hydrocarbons are 0-5% and 0-100% volume. The sensors are pre-calibrated using a Hydrocarbon reference gas such as Propane - this must be specified when ordering.

In addition, the High Resolution Methane Sensor provides measurement of Methane over the full range of 0 to 100% volume with a resolution of 0.01 % for 0-10% methane and 0.1% for 10-100% volume.

The standard measurement ranges that are available for Carbon Dioxide are from 0-500ppm up to 0-5% volume and 0-100% volume.

If you have a requirement for an alternative calibration gas or non-standard measurement 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 sensor in order to suit their particular requirements.
