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.

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 com More information

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 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, sign More information

Safe, robust housing for every application

Polytron 8100 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. A protection type “e” version includes a convenient docking station whic More information

Making the impossible possible with remote sensors

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 unfavourable position.

More functions through dongles

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

Accessories

Docking station
Docking station
A docking station is available for the increased-safety protection type "e" version. This also makes pre-assembly easier. The docking station is included with all transmitters in the Polytron 5000 and Polytron 8000 series with increased safety.
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 is modulated on top of the analog 4 – 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 EC
Remote Sensor EC
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
Splash guard
The Splash guard protects the sensor against splash water and dirt.
