Specification
Housing Electro-polished ANSI type 316 marine grade stainless steel
Brackets Electro-polished ANSI type 316 marine grade stainless steel
Cover ABS moulded plastic
Lens Treated optical glass.
Integral Cable Armoured, flame retardant, halogen free, MUD resistant
(if fitted)
Operating range 4 to 60m, 30 to 120m or 100 to 200m Transmitter to Receiver
Operational limit -40°C to +60°C (-40°C to +140°F), 800 to 1100 hPa, 0 to 100% r.h.
Span Configurable between 0 - 4 LELm and 0 - 8 LELm.
Source Xenon flashlamps with built-in redundancy. First lamp failure causes Receiver to output warning, operation contin-
ues with unchanged calibration. Source module field-replaceable by Draeger personnel.
Calibrations No field calibration required. Receiver holds factory-calibrations for up to four gases or gas mixtures, switchable by
field configuration. The LEL/LFL values for calibrations are to IEC 61779 (factory-option of NIOSH or EN 50054).
Gases detected include the alkane series methane to hexane. Receiver version optimised for ethylene (ethane)
has separate part number.
With Rx Tx digital link: Normally ≤ 2.0 seconds to ≥90% following a step change in path-integral concentration.
Response time
Increases to ≤10s to achieve maximum performance in reduced visibility due to fog etc.,
Without Rx Tx digital link: Normally ≤ 2.5 seconds to ≥90% following a step change in path-integral concentra-
tion. (NOTE: Operation without link is not recommended for locations liable to reduced visibility due to fog,
snow, dust storms etc.)
Interference Immune to common contaminants and sun and flare radiation.
Alignment Built in sensor system with separate "radar" displays on Handheld screen for Transmitter and Receiver alignment.
Zeroing not possible unless correctly aligned (≤ ± 0.15
Mounting Dual clamping gimbals assembly.
Firmware Upgradeable by portable PC connected to local Handheld port or remote AI500 interface.
Outputs Self configuring current sink or source. Fully linearised 4-20 mA gas signal with Fault at 0 mA, Beam-block at 2
mA, and a configurable Pre-warning for dirty or misaligned optics, broken Rx-Tx link, or first lamp failure (0 to 5 mA,
default 3.5 mA).

device, or remotely via 4
Connections Transmitter: three wire (3rd wire optional for Rx-Tx digital link).
Receiver: four wire (4th wire optional for digital communications and Rx-Tx link).
