smartMODUL Premium Series Gas Analysis Sensors
Infrared Gas Sensor With Dual Beam Technology With Measurement And Reference Channel For Use With Analytical Devices And Process Control.
The smartGas NDIR sensors of the smartMODULPREMIUM series have the same measuring cell as in the FLOW series, but offer some further advantages.
By using additional compact interface electronics (smartCONNECT 2 "sC2"), the smartMODULE PREMIUM Series Sensors are able to install a range of additional features and thus further increase sensor performance for very demanding gas analysis applications.
The NDIR sensor can be read out and adjusted with Modbus ASCII/RTU via the RS485 interface. In addition, the measured values can be read out in analogue form with (0)4–20 mA or 2/5/10 V output voltage (can be configured with jumpers).
Because the influence of pressure plays a role for IR gas sensors with infra-red measuring technology, the sensors in the PREMIUM series possess an ambient pressure sensor. Optionally, however, the cuvette internal pressure can also be measured and compensated. In order to keep the amount of integration work required as low as possible for you, the gas sensors in the PREMIUM series have an input voltage range of 12–24 VDC and a self-adjusting Modbus interface with up to 115,200 baud.
The smartMODUL PREMIUM sensors have the ability to measure the following gases:
