Premier Gold 'Non-Ex' 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.
Suffix 'XTR' (-40 to +75 deg. C) versions available to special order.
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.
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 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 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.
