Highlights

The Dräger Polytron® 8900 UGLD transmitter is an early warning area monitor for detecting high-pressure gas leaks in outdoor industrial process environments. Thanks to an ultrasonic acoustic sensor, it responds earlier than conventional gas detectors because it registers the sound of leaking gas instead of measuring the concentration of accumulated gas clouds. As gas escapes, leaks are immediately detected in the surrounding area, regardless of the wind direction.

Ultrasonic sensor technology – the early warning system for gas leaks

Typical gas detection systems used to monitor pressurised gas pipes or containers in industrial environments only detect a gas leak if the gas is in the immediate vicinity of the gas sensor. Environmental influences such as wind can delay or prevent  More information

A perfect complement to your gas detection system

​The Dräger Polytron 8900 extends the Polytron 8000 series family with acoustic gas leak detection. All transmitters in this series have the same design and an identical user interface. A common user interface ensures that little training or maintena More information

Delivers results that are easy to understand

For an easy interpretation of results, the measured values on the display of the Polytron 8900 UGLD are shown from 0 to 100 percent of the full scale decibel sensitivity range. The ultrasound level is immediately displayed and transmitted and allows  More information

Can even detect gas leaks in loud industrial environments

​Loud process areas generate noise which is mostly in the audible spectrum. Gas leaks from pressurized vessels above 10 bar generate both audible sound and inaudible ultrasound. Since Polytron 8900 is tuned to measure in the ultrasound spectrum, it c More information

Robust design and fully-sealed sensor

The Polytron 8900 UGLD is an explosion-proof transmitter with a sensor housed in a galvanically-isolated, intrinsically-safe enclosure. The sensor is an ultrasonic microphone that is completely sealed in PVCC, making it impervious to water and dirt.  More information

Calibration and bump test kit
Calibration and bump test kit

​​Even though the UGLD’s sensor does not need to be replaced and does not need regular calibrations, they are still possible. Unlike some other UGLDs on the market, a calibration can be performed using a system similar to that of traditional gas detectors. The kit has room for a standard compressed air cylinder and generates a certified sound level using a sensor adapter. There is an additional adapter for zeroing the sensor. A directional sonic generator uses compressed air to generate sound, which can be used to bump test a specific UGLD from up to five meters away.

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 4-20 mA signal. Out in the field, an available non intrusive IR dongle easily connects Polytron® to Polysoft.
Remote sensor
Remote sensor
​​With the EC Sensing Head Remote, the UGLD’s sensor can be installed up to 30 metres away from the Polytron 8900 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.
