Highlights

The Dräger Polytron® 8200 CAT is an advanced explosion-proof transmitter for the detection of combustible gases in the lower explosion limit (LEL). It uses a catalytic bead DrägerSensor® Ex that will detect most flammable gases and vapors. In addition to a 3-wire 4 to 20-mA analog output with relays it also offers HART®, Modbus and Fieldbus protocols, making it compatible with most control systems.

Fast and stable – the DrägerSensor® Ex

The built-in DrägerSensor® Ex is based on the proven catalytic bead measuring principle. It has excellent long-term stability with outstanding poison resistance. And this is the reason for its durability. Due to the novel gas inlet opening, the senso More Information

Easy device management via digital communication

The Dräger Polytron 8200 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 com More Information

Same design, same operating principle

The Dräger Polytron 8200 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 dis More Information

Three relays for controlling external equipment

Upon request, the Dräger Polytron 8200 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, sign More Information

Safe, robust housing for every application

Polytron 8200 features a Class I, Div. 1 rated explosion proof enclosure made from aluminium or stainless steel, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.

Make the impossible possible with the remote sensor

A remote explosion proof junction allows installation of the sensor up to 350' away from the transmitter in difficult to access areas. A permanently attached remote calibration adapter allows for remote bump testing or calibration from the Polytron d More Information

Data logger

The Polytron 8200 has a data logger, which records measuring and event data from prior years. A graph function displays the history of the past 15 minutes on a time/concentration graph.
