Rosemount 625ND non-dispersive infrared
sensor effectiveness
When installing the Rosemount 925 FGD Gas Detector with a Rosemount 625ND
Non-dispersive Infrared Sensor, it is required the sensor be mounted in a vertical
configuration with the IP filter pointed downward.
When mapping a gas detection system, it should be understood that gas must
physically pass through the IP filter and the integral sinter to reach the sensor.
Therefore, the "field of view" or detection distance of a non-dispersive infrared sensor is
limited to the immediate vicinity surrounding the sensor.
The IP filter and sinter should always be kept free of debris and should be subject to
regular scheduled maintenance to clear any obstructions.
When mounting the sensor, installation height should be determined by considering a
combination of the following: height most suitable to the safety of personnel on site
as well as the correlation of target gas specific gravity compared to the surrounding
