Infrared Hydrocarbon Gas Detector
The AutroPoint HC200 is a diffusion-based, infrared combustible gas detector that provides continuous, fixed monitoring of flammable hydrocarbon gases from 0 to 100% Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). Standard device outputs include an electrically isolated 4 to 20 mA signal with HART communication protocol, and RS-485 serial communication. Serial communication protocols supported include MODBUS and ASCII. Ideally suited for protection of challenging on/offshore oil and gas facilities and other downstream hydrocarbon applications, the AutroPoint HC200 is certified for use in hazardous areas Zone 1 and Zone 2. In addition, the stainless steel construction, sapphire optics, and modular design all combine to deliver industrial grade hardness along with easy installation and the lowest cost of ownership available. The AutroPoint HC200 is capable of detecting hundreds of flammable hydrocarbon vapours. Field-selectable algorithms are provided for methane (default), ethane, propane, butane, ethylene, and propylene. Numerous additional operating parameters are programmable via digital communications or the optional hand-held communicator.
