Highlights

The Dräger Polytron® 8310 IR is an advanced explosion proof transmitter for the detection of combustible hydrocarbon gases in the lower explosion limit (LEL). It uses an infrared DrägerSensor® IR that can be configured for methane, propane or ethylene. Besides 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.

Poison-resistant and fail-safe – the DrägerSensor® IR

​DrägerSensor IR is a cost-effective alternative to catalytic bead sensors while offering several benefits: It is poison-resistant against chemicals that can shorten a catalytic bead pellistor’s life. Long life optics result in lower maintenance cost More Information

Easy device management via digital communication

The Dräger Polytron 8310 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 8310 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 8310 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 8310 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

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

Data logger

The Polytron 8310 has a data logger, which records measuring and event data from the past years. A graph function displays the history of the past 15 minutes on a time/concentration graph.
