Draeger Safety has launched the Draeger PIR 3000, a smart explosion proof infra-red gas transmitter that the company says ensures reliable detection of combustible gases and vapours.
With DraegerSensor IR technology, the company says the transmitter offers an excellent price-performance ratio, is immune to poison and provides failsafe operation in any potentially explosive environment.
The PIR 3000 is designed to detect methane, pro-pane and ethylene. Each of these potential hazards is listed in a single internal gas library.
Incorporating a universal 4 to 20 mA interface, the PIR 3000 can be connected to any 4 to 20mA control system, such as the Draeger REGARD, and features an unmistakable 1mA fault signal.
It can also be supplied with either metric M25 or ¾ inch NPT thread for use with existing junction boxes.
Individual linearisation curves offer temperature compensated readings and the unit is housed within a stainless steel SS 316 enclosure for maximum protection. The integral splashguard ensures weather protection to IP 67 and the unit is also ATEX, UL and CSA approved.
