IR-6000 Infrared Hydrocarbon Sensor/Transmitter
Infrared Hydrocarbon Sensor/Transmitter for 0-100% LEL
The IR-6000 hydrocarbon detector is a single source dual wavelength instrument. The sensing and reference elements are self-compensating for optical integrity and other signal inhibitors. The 4-20 mA analog output can be connected to one of the several controllers available from ENMET. These controllers furnish 24 VDC power for sensor/transmitters and provide a digital display of gas concentration, audio/visual alarm and relays.

Typical Applications
The IR-6000 hydrocarbon detector is designed to be used in the same applications where catalytic bead type combustible gas sensors have been applied. A partial list of example applications would include:
■ Refineries
■ Gas turbines
■ Drilling and production platform
■ Chemical plants
■ Fuel loading facilities
■ Compressor stations
■ Oil well logging
■ Wastewater treatment facilities
■ LNG/LPG processing and storage facilities
■ Transportation facilities
