Highlights

Upgrade from Catalytic bead to infrared technology with ease using the DrägerSensor IR. The Sensor IR can replace catalytic ex-sensors (pellistors) from the majority of manufacturers without replacing controllers, cables, junction boxes or control systems.

Problem-free integration

With its Wheatstone bridge emulation, the Sensor IR outputs a mV signal, the same as the pellistor it replaces. The result is the control system sees the same signal input as before the Sensor IR was installed.
Naturally the Sensor IR can be operated More information

Smart and flexible

The Sensor IR offers a gas library with three gas categories: methane, propane and ethylene. Therefore, nearly all hydrocarbons are detectable. Temperature-compensatory linearising algorithms allow signal outputs for individual substances.

Immune to pellistor poisons

Technological advantages in infrared technology (e.g. fail-safe operation or immunity against pellistor poisons) have been recognised and valued by gas detection users for a long time.
The Sensor IR now also offers these plus points for systems that  More information
