IR400 Point IR Gas Detector

IR400 Point IR Gas Detector by MSA

The IR400 Infrared (IR) Point Detector is a hydrocarbon gas detector that continuously monitors combustible gases and vapors within the lower explosive limit (LEL) and provides alarm indication. It features an industry-leading response time of less than 3 seconds, even with a splash guard installed. All electronics are contained within an explosion-proof housing so that the IR400's detector information can be processed locally. Configurations with analog output, Modbus and HART are also available.

• Industry-leading speed & response: T90 ≤ 3 seconds even with splash guard installed
• No routine calibration required reducing maintenance costs
• Industry standard 4-20 mA output provides remote alarm and fault indication
• Multiple communication outputs provide complete status and control capability in the control room
• Heated optics eliminate condensation
• Dirty optics indication discriminates between true fault and cleaning requirements
• Fast calibration times reduce amount of cal gas required which lowers maintenance time and costs
