Highlights

The Dräger Polytron® 5700 IR is a cost effective explosion proof transmitter for the detection of flammable gases in the lower explosion limit (LEL). It uses a high performance infrared Dräger PIR 7000 sensor, which will quickly detect most common hydrocarbon gases. A 3 wire 4 to 20 mA analog output with optional relays makes it compatible with most control systems.

Efficient, stable and robust – the Dräger PIR 7000
