GDS-IR
Proven infrared sensor for hydrocarbons and CO2 with five-year warranty and CSA Class I Division 1 certification.
What This Device
Does
The GDS-IR infrared gas sensor uses proven infrared sensing technology to detect dangerous levels of carbon dioxide or explosive levels of methane, propane, and other hydrocarbons. Designed for harsh environments, it is virtually maintenance-free and immune to poisoning or etching by any known gas. CSA certified for Class I Division 1 explosive environments and suitable for SIL-2 safety systems.
Key Specifications
Where You'd
Use This
Fixed hydrocarbon detection where catalyst poisoning has caused false negatives
Biogas and brewery CO2 monitoring
Onshore and offshore drilling platform gas detection
Natural gas storage, distribution, and compressor stations
Why We Specify This
The GDS-IR is the earlier generation of the GDS-IR2 and remains a proven, reliable choice for infrared gas detection. We use it where the application calls for proven technology with a long track record. The poisoning immunity is the key advantage over catalytic bead sensors -REPLACED- in environments with silicones or heavy metals, an IR sensor will keep reading accurately where a catalytic sensor would drift or fail silently.
