## Details

Part Number: 68 11 160

## Overview

Explosion-proof infrared gas detector designed for continuous monitoring of combustible gases like methane, propane, and ethylene with a gas library supporting typical hydrocarbons. It features temperature-compensated infrared absorption technology with a 4 to 20 mA output and a fault signal at 1 mA. The device operates in harsh environments within a temperature range of -40 to +65 °C and 0 to 100% humidity, housed in a hermetically sealed 316 stainless steel enclosure with M25 or 3/4\" NPT connection threads. It provides fast response = 30 seconds, digital resolution of 0.5% LEL, repeatability ±2% LEL, no moving parts, and a typical lifetime of 15 years. Designed for integration in hazardous industrial areas compatible with standard 4-20 mA control systems.

## Function

Detection of combustible gases and vapors through explosion-proof infrared sensor technology with temperature-compensated non-imaging optics. Operates within -40 to +65 °C using a stainless steel SS 316 enclosure for harsh environments, providing stable, continuous 4-20 mA output signals with fault indication. Supports detection of methane, propane, ethylene, and other hydrocarbons via an internal gas library, offering fast response (<30 s), long-term stability, poison immunity, and fail-safe operation. Interfaces via M25 or 3/4\" NPT connections compatible with control systems for flexible installation and maintenance.

## Platform

Industrial environments requiring hazardous gas detection, particularly explosive atmospheres classified as Zone 1, Zone 2, Division 1, or Division 2. Compatible with distributed control systems, programmable logic controllers, and fire and gas monitoring systems through analog 4-20mA signal output, HART protocol, or RS485 Modbus RTU. Designed for integration with safety instrumented systems up to SIL2. Operates in extreme temperature ranges from -40°C to +77°C with high humidity tolerance. Suitable for petrochemical facilities, refineries, offshore platforms, chemical manufacturing plants, and natural gas processing facilities.

## Application

Fixed-point, infrared gas detector for continuous monitoring of combustible gases, vapors, and hydrocarbons in hazardous environments. Features rugged, explosion-proof housing designed for harsh industrial conditions with stainless steel construction resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage. Employs heated optics to prevent condensation, maintaining measurement reliability in varying environmental conditions. Provides analog and digital output signals for integration with distributed control systems, programmable controllers, and fire and gas detection systems. Typically deployed in petroleum refineries, chemical processing, oil and gas production, fuel storage facilities, and wastewater treatment plants for leak detection and safety monitoring.

## Accessories

Requires explosion-proof mounting bracket, terminal junction box for wiring connections, and explosion-proof power supply unit. Interfaces include a 6-pin M12 circular connector for power and digital communication (Modbus RTU), and a 4-pin M12 circular connector for analog output (4-20 mA). The device supports RS485 communication via the M12 connector. The set may include a calibration adapter and specialized infrared windows for explosion-proof enclosures.

## Interface

Explosion-proof stainless steel SS316 enclosure with M25 or 3/4\" NPT threaded connection for conduit or junction box mounting; analog 4 to 20 mA current output signal for gas concentration; fault signal output at 1 mA; no digital or fieldbus interfaces; magnetic wand interface for gas category selection and calibration; heated optics for humidity compensation; operates with power supply 10 to 30 V DC; physical size approx. 170 mm length, 37 mm diameter[1][2][4].
