The infrared technology used by the OLCT IR guarantees extreme detection accuracy. Powered with 24 Vdc, the OLCT IR provides a standard 4-20 mA analog output which is proportional to the measured concentration of gas. It features a non-intrusive calibration that enables calibration in hazardous area without declassifying the zone.

The OLTC IR is available in various configurations: Methane Version (CH % LEL: optimized for methane detection, standard range is 0-100% LEL (0-5% vol.). The range can be adjusted to 0-4.4% vol. for those who consider this value as the lower explosive limit for methane. % Vol.: detection of methane from 0 to 100% vol.
Interference of common gases on OLCT IR (CH and HC) Any organic molecule with at least one C-H bond except for acetylene can potentially be detected by the OLCT IR, though the sensitivity varies. Note the following: Regardless the detector version, saturated hydrocarbons give a greater response than CH ...

Look at figures 1 and 4 for the dimensions of the OLCT IR The OLCT IR detector is intended to be mounted on a vertical support structure, such as a wall. When it has to be mounted on a horizontal surface, use the ceiling mount (part number 6322420, see Fig. 5).
Warning: Operations described in this paragraph are reserved for authorized and trained people otherwise the safety of the installation may be impaired. Do not open the OLCT IR housing since it contains an inert gas. If the detector has been opened, it shall be returned to factory for repair.

These detectors are classed as safety devices according to ATEX 94/9/CE Directive and may, therefore, contribute to limiting the risks of explosion. For this to be so, they must be connected to Oldham type MX 15, MX 32, MX 42A, MX 48, MX 43, MX 52 or MX 62 detection controllers, or otherwise connected to measurement systems with 4-20 mA inputs conforming to section 1.5 of Annex II of ATEX Directive 94/9/CE...
The detector OLCT IR was designed in conformity with IEC 61508 standard. The safety function of the OLCT IR is to detect combustible gases with infrared absorption technology and to deliver a 4-20mA current output proportionally to the gas concentration as a percentage of the LEL, respectively from 0 to 100% LEL.
