Model PI-700

Detcon Model PI-700 is a non-intrusive “Smart” sensor that use photo-ionization detector technology to monitor VOC gases over ranges from 0-10 ppm to 0-5,000 ppm.

There is also a special 0-500 ppb version available. In the PI-700 sensor design, Detcon has successfully converted the sensitive laboratory style PID technology into a rugged, environmentally insensitive, and long-life industrial gas sensor.

The plug-in, field replaceable detector features over-sized gold-plated connections that help prevent corrosion.

The PI-700’s rugged framework includes an electro-polished 316 stainless steel housing with fully encapsulated electronics and dual layer surge protection.

This innovative design virtually eliminates sensor failure due to water ingress, corrosion, vibration, and transient spikes.

A primary feature of the Model PI-700 is embedded intuitive software that simplifies operator interface by guiding the user through routine calibration, configuration, and fault diagnostic functions using a built-in alpha/numeric display.

The Model PI-700 is equipped with standard analog 4-20mA, and Modbus™ RS-485 outputs. Among its unique features is a wireless option that can be used with Detcon’s SmartWireless® product line.

Additional integration options include a Remote Alarm Module (RAM), HART, and Foundation Fieldbus. Detcon’s PID sensors have a long shelf life and are supported by an industry leading warranty.
