Highlights
The Dräger SensorAlive is an electrochemical sensor with an integrated gas generator. The gas generator enables daily automatic sensor testing, with H2S as the test gas. The sensor self-test function improves the safety of your gas detection system and minimises your service efforts.
Automatic self-test with test gas
In the oil and gas industry, stationary gas detection systems with high quantities of sensors are used for reliable hydrogen sulphide monitoring. These sensors must be tested and adjusted regularly. The Dräger SensorAlive for H2S automatically tests … More informationitself daily with its integrated gas generator. The principle is simple: the gas generator produces the test gas and uses it to check the sensor.
A plus in safety
Daily testing of high quantities of sensors can be time-consuming and sometimes not feasible. The daily function test of the Dräger SensorAlive, with test gas from the integrated gas generator, is your plus in safety. If excessive deviations occur du … More informationring the check, corresponding information or a warning is given. In addition, the Dräger SensorAlive is also checked daily for possible clogging of the gas inlet. During the test, which lasts a maximum of 15 minutes, the measurement performance of the sensor and the associated gas warning function are still active. The sensitivity and expected sensor life are also monitored when the sensor diagnostic functions are activated through a diagnostic dongle.
Less service effort
Every day, the Dräger SensorAlive automatically performs a function test with test gas and a check for possible clogging of the gas inlet. Since these no longer have to be done manually, your service effort can be minimised. This benefit is particula … More informationrly noticeable when the measuring points are far away or difficult to reach. Even if this is not the case, you will not need to stockpile test gas or equipment in the future.
Proven measuring technology
Together with the Dräger Polytron 8100 transmitter, you have access to proven measurement technology with the Dräger SensorAlive. Fast response, high accuracy, high stability and long service life: The Dräger SensorAlive also offers you these propert … More informationies familiar from the electrochemical DrägerSensors. It uses the proven and established principle of intrinsic safety for electrical explosion protection, like all DrägerSensor type electrochemical sensors, along with approval for use in Zone 1 in conjunction with the Polytron 8100. With the Dräger SensorAlive, you have without the familiar plug-and-play use thanks to built-in electronic intelligence and pre-calibration, including the remote versions of the device.
With the various software dongles, different test and diagnostic functionalities can be activated in the transmitter for application-specific requirements. These sensor tests increase the reliability and safety of the gas detection system. The additional diagnostic functions can automatically correct the sensitivity of the sensor and determine the remaining sensor life.
Dust filter
Thiy hydrophobic dust filter for electrochemical DrägerSensors (see also the corresponding sensor data specification).
Gassing adapter
This gassing adapter is preferably used for the calibration of electrochemical DrägerSensors. However, it can also serve as a simple bypass adapter in sampling systems.
Remote sensor
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.
Viton® calibration adapter
The flexible, soft calibration adapter, made of Viton®, is used for gassing during zero point test and when calibrating electrochemical DrägerSensors.
