Crowcon Cirrus Point Infrared Detector

Cirrus Infrared Flammable Gas Detector

Crowcon Detection Instruments operates worldwide with the mission to protect people and plant from gas hazards. With over 40 years of gas detection experience, Crowcon consistently develops cutting edge technology and detection systems that are reliable and innovative. The company offers a wide range of gas detection devices to suit a variety of personal and industrial gas detection needs.

With its lifetime factory calibration and 5 year guarantee, Crowcon is pleased to introduce its rugged and reliable Cirrus gas detector. Cirrus is Crowcon’s third generation fixed point infrared flammable gas detector. The unit requires very little maintenance and has a fully automatic remote functional test capability that does not require local detector checks. Additionally, the unit is flexible enough to interface with a variety of new or existing systems.

Rugged and Reliable

When in potentially hazardous environments, workers need to feel safe and secure with their equipments integrity and reliability. The Cirrus infrared flammable gas detector provides that assurance. The unit features two beams for accurate readings and detection. One beam is utilized as the baseline and continuously checks the operation of the optics while providing a continuous zero measurement for the hydrocarbon detecting beam. Through this mechanism, drifts in the infrared source are compensated. The unit is housed in a durable stainless steel case that provides optimal protection from the elements and hazardous working conditions. Additionally, Cirrus is guaranteed for 5 full years.

Low Maintenance

One of the most important characteristics of the Cirrus infrared flammable gas detector is its low maintenance requirements. First and foremost, the docking station for the unit allows for easy installation and system changes. Once installed, configuration changes are easily made by connecting a computer to the control room. This also allows for easy field configurations. Cirrus also features a factory calibration that will last for 5 years. It will never require a zero or span gas calibration. The unit also operates up to 90% obscuration. When the device reaches the preset obscuration level, it will notify users that it is time for a cleaning.

Flexibility

Cirrus can be fitted with a number of accessories, testers, and interfaces to improve performance and customization. A fitted automatic drop-in filter would alleviate manual or local functional testing. Other interfaces would allow for easy testing when the device is inaccessibly located. The device may also be outfitted with accessories and interfaces that increase its compatibility with existing field cabling and control panels. The unit can easily interface with new, existing, or distributed control systems. Each control system may require a separate, but easy to install, compatibility accessory for optimal performance.
