IR22 D Transmitter
Transmitter with display for flammable gases and carbon dioxide
If carbon dioxide or flammable gases are to be monitored outside Ex zones, the IR22 D transmitter is a reliable and economical solution. The IR22 D transmits measured values and status displays analogue (0.2-1 mA or 4-20 mA) or digitally (RS-485). In addition, there is an on-site indication on the display and, in the event of an alarm, a local warning via buzzer. In combination with GfG's proven controllers, installation in new gas detection systems as well as retrofitting in existing systems is possible.
The IR22 D uses an infrared sensor (IR) to detect carbon dioxide and the combustible gases methane and propane. The current measured value can be read at any time on the 2.2-inch display, which lights up red in the event of an alarm. The long-life sensors make the IR22 D an economical solution for detecting gases in measuring ranges such as 0 to 10,000 ppm, 0 to 100 LEL or 0 to 50 % by volume. Automatic temperature compensation and linearisation of the measuring signals ensure high measuring accuracy.
Functional safety and device protection
The hardware of the IR22 D complies with the European Functional Safety Standard DIN EN 61508-2: 2011 (SIL). The housing is protected against the ingress of dust and water (protection class: IP54). An optional weatherproof housing provides additional protection.
Communication and service
Signals are transmitted according to the analogue industrial standard (optionally 0.2-1 mA or 4-20 mA) or via the digital RS-485 interface (Modbus protocol). The transmitter indicates operating states via two status LEDs. Service and settings are carried out intuitively on site with a built-in push-nutton interface (one-man adjustment). The multi-coloured backlit display shows the current measured value, status messages and the menu of the IR22 D. Test gases can be applied for function control with a calibration adapter.
