Designed for Reliable Performance in Extreme Conditions
www.msa-europe.com 2 Every feature of the SIL 2 designed PrimaX IR Gas Transmitter is designed with reliability in mind to withstand the most challenging environmental conditions through out the products life. MSAs PrimaX IR Gas Transmitter ofers LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) combustible gas detection through a patent-pending PrimaX Gas Transmitter IR dual source design. A redundant IR source provides reliability and uninterrupted monitoring should a source failure occur. Furthermore, the possibility of obscurations due to rain, fog, dirt, dust, and other environmental conditions is minimized due to dual source design. In addition, optics are optimized for maximum signal, resulting in a product of extra ordinary stability. PrimaX IR Gas Transmitter Applications OGP including platforms, refneries, drilling rigs, and compressor stations Chemical plants Fuel-loading and storage facilities Wastewater Various other industrial applications www.msa-europe.com Features & Benefits Patent-pending dual source design provides redundancy and reliable, uninterrupted performance Patent-pending environmental guard sensor housing for fast, efcient response time Heated optics prevent condensation buildup 420 mA analog output User-friendly setup, calibration diagnostics, and maintenance via HART digital communication One-person calibration is easily performed using calibration cap Easy connection using aluminium or stainless steel junction box 316 stainless steel, IP67-rated, rugged housing protects unit from environmental extremes Factory-calibrated for fast commissioning Wide temperature range of 40 to +80C 3 www.msa-europe.com 4 Calibration Users may choose the most suitable calibration method for their applications. A calibration cap is placed on the unit to provide one-person calibration. Calibration cap icon-driven user interface guides users through the calibration process. Alternatively, HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) output provides remote calibration capability. A HART junction box is ofered for local calibration in classifed areas; HART software is provided to initiate calibration from remote locations. Maintenance The PrimaX IR Gas Transmitter is designed to minimize maintenance costs without replacement of internal components. The PrimaX IR Gas Transmitter dual source design reduces potential system faults due to obscurations caused by rain, fog, dirt, etc. This monitor provides maintenance alerts as well as other fault conditions over 420 mA and HART outputs. Installation The PrimaX IR Gas Transmitter is designed for quick and easy installation. Stainless steel and aluminum junction boxes can be ordered pre-installed for further ease of installation and wiring. A unique environmental guard with patent-pending clamshell design provides convenient installation in tight locations. www.msa-europe.com 5 Specifications Description Specification Gas Types and Ranges Hydrocarbon gases & vapors; 0100% LEL Temperature Range 40 C to +80 C (40 F to +176 F) Repeatability 1% full-scale Linearity 3% of gas level Response Times without environmental guard with environmental guard
