Description

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.

DrägerSensor IR is a cost-effective alternative to catalytic bead sensors and offers a number of benefits. It is resistant to poisonous chemicals that can shorten a catalytic pellistor’s life. Long life optics have lower maintenance costs compared to pellistors. IR technology is inherently fail-safe without any undisclosed drawbacks. These benefits provide improved performance with excellent long-term stability and fast response times.

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 similar devices can thus be controlled locally without an additional cable between the transmitter and central controller.
