Infrared Point Detector for Combustible Gas Detection

The IR400 Infrared (IR) Point Detector from MSA is a hydrocarbon gas detector that constantly monitors combustible gases and vapors within the lower explosive limit (LEL) and delivers alarm indication. It offers an industry-leading response time of three seconds, even with a splash guard installed.

The electronics are held within an explosion-proof housing so that the IR400's detector information can be processed locally. Configurations with Modbus, analog output and HART are also available.

Highlights

Industry-leading speed and response: T90 ≤ 3 seconds even with splash guard installed

Industry standard 4-20 mA output offers remote alarm and fault indication

No regular calibration required thus decreasing maintenance costs

Heated optics eliminate condensation

Dirty optics indication discriminates between true fault and cleaning necessities

Multiple communication outputs provide full status and control capability in the control room

Rapid calibration times decrease amount of cal gas needed which lowers maintenance time and costs
