The Draeger Polytron 5310 IR is an explosion-proof transmitter designed for the detection of flammable gases in the lower explosion limit (LEL). It offers a cost-effective solution for this purpose. Utilizing an infrared DraegerSensor® IR, the Polytron 5310 IR can be easily configured to detect methane, propane, or ethylene. Its compatibility with most control systems is ensured through a 3-wire 4 to 20 mA analog output with relays.
The DraegerSensor IR presents a viable alternative to catalytic bead sensors, bringing numerous advantages. It exhibits resistance to chemicals that can otherwise degrade the lifespan of catalytic bead pellistors. Furthermore, the long-life optics of the DraegerSensor IR contribute to reduced maintenance costs compared to pellistors. The inherent fail-safe nature of IR technology ensures that any failures are immediately detected, avoiding any concealed malfunctions. Overall, these benefits result in enhanced performance, excellent long-term stability, and rapid response times.
