Gas detector DG-P1R5/M propane-butane, 100% LPG, IR sensor

Propane-butane gas detector – reliable safety in every facility

This gas detector, designed for continuous monitoring of propane-butane concentration, is a key element of the safety system in industrial plants, logistics centers and public utility facilities. It utilizes an advanced IR sensor, providing precise and fast measurement, and its design allows for easy integration with the Digital Gas Detection System. The detector signals an alarm optically, and information about exceeding the permissible concentration is sent to the supervisory module via the RS-485 interface.

Functionality and application

The device is ideal for monitoring large rooms where there is a risk of propane-butane gas leakage. Thanks to replaceable sensor modules, maintenance and calibration are simplified, and operating costs are reduced. The built-in microprocessor guarantees stable operation and reliability of the detector. The possibility of semi-automatic addressing in a digital network facilitates installation and configuration. The detector also has a thermal compensation circuit and a history of alarm states, which allows for a thorough analysis of events.

Construction and user features

The detector is enclosed in a splash-proof housing made of high-impact ABS (IP44), which ensures its durability even in harsh environmental conditions. Two cable glands facilitate the connection of subsequent detectors in the system. Removable screwless terminals allow for convenient connection of FTP cables. Additionally, the device offers a range of expansion options: the possibility of mounting an additional guard made of steel pipes (AR-1d), a housing for the ventilation duct (DG/w version) or a relay output module (upgrade to DG-P/MR version). Configuration of settings is done using the dedicated "DETnet View" software. It is important to remember that the detector should not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
