Data sheet

Model IR-642

Detcon Model IR-642 Detectors are non-intrusive "smart" sensors designed to detect and monitor carbon dioxide.

The available detection ranges are 0-10%, 0-25%, 0-50% and 0-100% by volume.

The sensor assembly consists of a miniature infrared optical sensor in a stainless steel housing that includes a splash guard with integral cal port, a pluggable control emitter circuit, a basic connection board and an explosion-proof enclosure.

  • CSA-NRTL Listed: Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C and D

  • Compatible with PLCs, SCADA, DCS, via 4-20 mA, and / or RS-485, and / or alarm relays

  • Sensor status and parameters accessible via RS-485 (Modbus ™)

  • Standard programmable relays (two alarms plus fault)

  • Simple Menu Driven Calibration - takes less than 3 minutes

  • Backlit LCD and LED indicators for FAULT and CAL status

  • Field replaceable miniature optical sensor

  • Pluggable field replaceable transmitter

  • Low energy consumption

  • Expected life of the 5 year sensor
