The Drager Polytron 8100 EC is Dragers top of the line explosion-proof transmitter for the detection of toxic gases or oxygen. It uses a high performance plug and play electrochemical Drager Sensor to detect a specific gas.
Besides a 3 wire 4 to 20 mA analog output with relays, the Drager Polytron 8100 EC also offers Modbus and Fieldbus protocol making it compatible with most control systems.
Benefits:
Durable, intelligent and sensitive – the Drager Sensor
With unique electrochemical Drager Sensors, Drager Polytron 8100 can detect over 100 toxic gases and oxygen. These long life sensors provide continuous detection even under the harshest conditions. Drager Sensors offer the industrys widest temperature and humidity range between -40°C to +65°C (-40°F to +150°F).
Easy device management via digital communication
The Drager Polytron 8100 EC is equipped with digital interfaces allowing for quick and easy remote interrogation of the transmitters state. Integration with existing asset management systems such as PACTware is possible via DTM. In addition to the common HART communication system, the fieldbus interfaces with PROFIBUS PA, FOUNDATION fieldbus H1, and Modbus RTU are also available.
Same design, same operating principle
The Drager Polytron 8100 belongs to the Drager Polytron 8000 Series. All transmitters in this Series have the same design and user interface. This allows for uniform operation with reduced training and maintenance requirements.
3 relays for controlling external equipment
The Drager Polytron 8100 can also be supplied with 3 integrated relays. This enables you to use it as an independent Gas Detection System with 2 arbitrarily adjustable concentration alarms and 1 fault alarm.
Safe, robust housing for every application
The Draeger Polytron 8100 features a Class I, Div. 1 rated explosion-proof enclosure made from aluminum or stainless steel, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. A protection type e version includes a convenient docking station which allows installation in hazardous atmospheres without running conduit (where approved).
Remote sensor option does not require conduit
To make things easier, Drager includes cabling up to 100 feet (30 meters) long. The intrinsically safe connection allows hot swaps of the sensor in a hazardous atmosphere without removing power or declassifying the area.
More functions through dongles
With different software dongles, additional functions can be added to the Drager Polytron 8100.
