General Monitors IR700 Point IR Carbon Dioxide Gas Detector

The General Monitors IR700 Point IR Carbon Dioxide Gas Detector is a microprocessor-based Detector that continuously monitors CO2 in ppm levels. The IR700 Carbon Dioxide Gas Detector detection principle is based on measuring the absorption of infrared radiation passing through a volume of gas using a dual beam, single detector method.

The IR700 Point IR Carbon Dioxide Gas Detector measures the intensity of two specific wavelengths, one at an absorption wavelength and another outside of the absorption wavelength. The gas concentration is determined by a comparison of these two values. All of the IR700’s electronics are contained within an explosion-proof housing allowing detector information to be processed at the point of detection. The IR700 provides 4-20 mA signal proportional to 0-100% full scale.

In addition, the IR700 Carbon Dioxide Gas Detector is equipped with Modbus or HART. Configurations with relays, Modbus, and HART are available. The General Monitors IR700 Point IR Carbon Dioxide Gas Detector is calibrated at the factory and needs no routine field calibration. It requires only a periodic cleaning of the windows and re-zeroing to ensure dependable performance.

The General Monitors IR700 Point IR Carbon Dioxide Gas Detector is available in either an aluminum or stainless steel housing and is designed for use in Class I, Div. 1, Groups B, C & D and Zone 1 areas for North America and Zones 1 and 21 internationally. The housing is IP66/ Type 4X rated.
