Highlights

The Dräger Polytron 5310 IR is a cost effective explosion-proof transmitter for the detection of flammable gases in the lower explosion limit (LEL). It uses an infrared DrägerSensor IR that can be configured for methane, propane, or ethylene. A 3-wire 4 to 20-mA analogue output with relays makes 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 sensor's life. Long life optics result in lower maintenance costs co More information

Same design, same operating principles

Polytron 5310 belongs to the Dräger Polytron 5000 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 backlit display shows status  More information

Three relays for controlling external equipment

The Dräger Polytron 5310 can also be supplied with three integrated relays upon request. This enables you to use it as an independent gas detection system with two adjustable concentration alarms and one fault alarm. Audible alarms, signal lights, or More information

Safe, robust housing for every application

The Polytron 5310 features a Class I, Div. 1 rated explosion proof enclosure made from aluminum or stainless steel, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. A protection type “e” version includes a convenient docking station t More information

Make the impossible possible with the remote sensor

The remote sensor connection housing allows you to install the sensor separately from the device electronics up to 30 metres. This 'external' installation makes it easier to use if the sensor has to be installed in a difficult to access or unfavorabl More information
