Highlights
The Polytron® 8100 EC is Dräger’s top of the line explosion proof
transmitter for the detection of toxic gases or oxygen. It uses a high
performance plug and play electrochemical DrägerSensor® to detect a
specific gas. Besides a 3 wire 4 to 20 mA analog output with relays, it
also offers Modbus and Fieldbus protocol making it compatible with most
control systems.
Durable, intelligent and sensitive – the DrägerSensor®
With unique electrochemical DrägerSensors, Polytron 8100 can detect over 100 toxic gases and oxygen. These
long life sensors provide continuous detection even under the harshest conditions. DrägerSensors offer the
industry’s widest temperature and hu … More Informationmidity range between -40°C to +65°C (-40°F to +150°F). The built-in
memory contains all calibration and configuration information. Therefore the sensor ships pre calibrated and are
ready for immediate operation. An intelligent sensor self-test function allows for predictive maintenance. The
intrinsically safe connection of the sensor eliminates the need for a flame arrestor, giving you faster response
times and higher sensitivity.
Easy device management via digital communication
The Dräger Polytron 8100 is equipped with digital interfaces allowing for quick and easy remote interrogation of
the transmitter’s state. Integration with existing asset management systems such as PACTware™ is possible via
DTM.
In addition to the comm … More Informationon HART® communication system, the fieldbus interfaces with PROFIBUS® PA, FOUNDATION fieldbus™ H1, and Modbus RTU are also available.

Same design, same operating principle
The Dräger Polytron 8100 belongs to the Polytron 8000 series. All transmitters in this series have the
same design and user interface. This allows for uniform operation with reduced training and maintenance
requirements.

Three relays for controlling external equipment
Upon request, the Dräger Polytron 8100 can also be supplied with three integrated relays. This enables you to
use it as an independent gas detection system with two arbitrarily adjustable concentration alarms and one fault
alarm. Audio alarms, signal … More Information lights, or similar devices can thus be controlled locally without an additional cable
between the transmitter and central controller.
Safe, robust housing for every application
Polytron 8100 features a Class I, Div. 1 rated explosion proof enclosure made from aluminum or stainless
steel, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. A protection type “e” version includes a convenient docking station which … More Information allows installation in hazardous atmospheres without running conduit (where
approved).
Remote sensor option does not require conduit
The optional remote sensor enclosure enables the sensor to be installed away from the transmitter. This makes
it easy to place the sensor close to a potential gas cloud in an inaccessible location while keeping the display at
eye level. Because the s … More Informationensor is connected to the transmitter through an intrinsically safe port, this eliminates
the need to run conduit for mounting a remote sensor. And to make things even easier, Dräger includes cabling
up to 100 feet (30 meters) long. The intrinsically safe connection also allows ‘hot swaps’ of the sensor in a
hazardous atmosphere without removing power or declassifying the area.
More functions through dongles
With different software dongles, additional functions can be added to the Polytron 8100. The data logger
dongle comes standard and continuously records gas readings and events. A sensor test dongle is available
for additional sensor self-test functio … More Informationnality. A third dongle is available for advanced sensor diagnosis. These
dongles indicate the sensor’s vitality, giving you an estimate of the sensor’s remaining service life.
