AutroPath HC800

Autronica AutroPath HC800 Gas Detector


The Autronica HC800 is a line-of-sight infrared Gas Detection System that provides continuous monitoring of combustible hydrocarbon gas concentrations. The Autronica HC800 detects in the range of 0 to 5 LFL-meters, over a distance of 5 to 120 meters.

The Autronica HC800 system outputs include an electrically isolated/non-isolated 4-20 mA dc current output, with HART communication and RS-485 MODBUS communication. Alarm and fault relays are available as an option on the Autronica HC800. The Autronica HC800 is certified explosion-proof for use in Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 hazardous areas.
