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 having a 3-wire 4 to 20 mA analog output with relays, it also offers HART®, 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 h More Information

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 co More Information

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. The large graphic backlit di More Information

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. Audible alarms, sig More Information

Safe, robust housing for every application

​Polytron 8100 features a Class I, Div. 1 rated explosion proof enclosure made from epoxy coated aluminium or 316L stainless steel, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.

Remote sensor option does not require conduit

​The remote sensor enclosure allows you to install the sensor separately from the transmitter. This 'external' installation makes it easier to use if the sensor has to be installed in a difficult to access or unfavorable position.

More functions through dongles

​With different software dongles, additional functions can be added to the Polytron 8100. The data logger dongle comes as standard and continuously records gas readings and events. A sensor test dongle is available for additional sensor self-test fun More Information

Dräger Polysoft software
Dräger Polysoft software

​The optional Dräger Polysoft Windows® software is used for configuration, firmware upgrades, diagnostics, and downloading the Polytron's built in datalogger. All from the comfort of your control room using the digital HART® signal that rides on top of the analog 4 to 20 mA signal. Out in the field, an available non intrusive IR dongle easily connects Polytron® to Polysoft.

Duct mount kit
Duct mount kit

The duct mount kit enables gas monitoring inside ventilation ducts while keeping the transmitter outside.

Remote sensor
Remote sensor

​With the EC Sensing Head Remote, the sensor can be installed up to 30 metres away from the Polytron in a separate compact housing. The separate sensor housing with included field cable is intrinsically safe, which makes installation considerably easier and more flexible. This means that it is not necessary to search for a suitable cable and the sensor’s position can even be adjusted within an Ex zone later on.

Splash guard
