Description

The Dräger Polytron^® 8310 IR is an advanced explosion proof transmitter for the detection of combustible gases in the lower explosion limit (LEL). It uses an infrared DrägerSensor^® IR that can be configured for methane, propane or ethylene. Besides a 3 wire 4 to 20 mA analogue output with relays, it also offers HART^®, Modbus and Fieldbus protocols making it compatible with most control systems.

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 pellistor’s life. Long life optics result in lower maintenance costs compared to pellistors. IR technology is inherently fail-safe, meaning no unrevealed failures. Improved performance with excellent long-term stability and fast response times.
