MSA PrimaX IR Gas Transmitter
Every feature of the SIL 2 engineered PrimaX IR Gas Transmitter is designed with reliability in mind to withstand the most challenging environmental conditions throughout the product’s life.
MSA’s PrimaX IR Gas Transmitter offers LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) combustible gas detection through a patented PrimaX Gas Transmitter IR dual source design.
A redundant IR source provides reliability and uninterrupted monitoring should a source failure occur.
Furthermore, the possibility of obscurations due to rain, fog, dirt, dust, and other environmental conditions is minimised due to the dual source design.
In addition, optics are optimised for maximum signal, resulting in a product of extraordinary stability.
Features
- Patented dual-source design provides redundancy and reliable, uninterrupted performance.
- Patented environmental guard sensor housing for fast, efficient response time.
- Heated optics prevent condensation buildup.
- Housing options: Aluminium M25 or NPT. Stainless steel M25 or NPT
- User-friendly setup, calibration diagnostics, and maintenance via HART digital communication.
- One-person calibration is easily performed using a calibration cap.
- Easy connection using an aluminium or stainless steel junction box.
- 316 stainless steel, IP 67-rated, rugged housing protects the unit from environmental extremes.
- Factory-calibrated for fast commissioning.
- Wide temperature range of –50 °C to +80 °C.
Applications
- OGP, including platforms, refineries, drilling rigs, and compressor stations
- Chemical plants
- Fuel-loading and storage facilities
- Wastewater
- Various other industrial applications
