The GDS-IR2 Infrared Gas Sensor uses
proven, reliable infrared sensing technology to detect dangerous levels of carbon
dioxide or explosive levels of methane,
propane and other hydrocarbons. The
GDS-IR2 sensor is CSA certified for use
in Class 1 Division 1 explosive environments and is CSA performance tested.
Advanced Infrared Technology
The GDS-IR2 infrared combustible gas
sensor offers low total cost of ownership
and a seventeen-year MTBF rating. Designed for especially harsh environments,
the GDS-IR2 is virtually maintenance-free
and immune to poisoning or etching by
any known gas. The sensor element fea-
tures a self-compensating optical bench,
heated optical chamber and fault indication for all failure modes. The optical path
can be easily opened for cleaning.
No periodic span calibrations are required.
On initial setup and after each cleaning,
a simple ‘auto zero’ procedure is used to
establish proper operating conditions.
Flexibility
The GDS-IR2 can be calibrated to read a
wide range of combustible hydrocarbons,
including methane, propane, hexane,
pentane, ethanol, Jet-A, isobutane,
propylene and isoproply alcohol, as well
as carbon dioxide to 5% by volume.
GDS-IR2 sensors are factory programmed
and calibrated when shipped and can be
field programmed for alternate response
curves. Both LEL and % by volume
ranges are available.
GASMAX + GDS-IR2 Combo
When combined with the GASMAX
II or GASMAX CX monitor, the duo
provides local display, 4-20mA output
with diagnostics, optional second
electrochemical sensor, isolated 4-20mA
outputs or MODBUS slave interface with
programmable relays. The GASMAX CX
also provides dual serial MODBUS and an
Ethernet interface with built-in web server
and MODBUS/TCP database.
Reliable Detection
The GDS-IR2 is manufactured in the
USA and includes a five year operational
warranty. Applications include refineries,
onshore and offshore drilling platforms,
fuel loading docks, biogas processing,
breweries, wastewater treatment facilities
and natural gas storage and distribution.
