GENERAL MONITORS MSA IR5500 Open Path Source / Emitter

P/N 329001-25

Short Range Detection

Made in USA

Please see below manufacturers general description

The Model IR5500 Infrared Open Path System is a hydrocarbon gas detector (Figure 1). The system consists of a Source and a Receiver. Both units are calibrated at the factory and need no further alignment. The operation of the Model IR5500 can be checked by placing a Test Gas Film in front of the Receiver. The system requires only a periodic cleaning of the windows to assure dependable performance, and is recommended prior to zero check, test gas, and optical integrity testing. The Model IR5500 Infrared Open Path System continuously monitors hydrocarbon gases. The gas detection range of a Receiver calibrated for methane is 0 to 5,000 ppm•m and 0 to 5 LEL•m while that for propane it is 0 to 2,000 ppm•m and 0 to 1 LEL•m. The Receiver provides two 4 to 20 mA analog signals, one proportional to ppm•m and the other to LEL•m. Alarm and Fault relays, split range (A/O-ppm), Modbus, and HART outputs are optional. The Model IR5500 Infrared Open Path System is easily aligned using the digital display and adjustable mounting arms, therefore does not require any bulky setup equipment such as digital volt meters and handheld alignment aids. For setups that require the distance from the Source to the Receiver to be greater than 100 meters, General Monitors offers an optical alignment scope that makes the initial alignment easier.
