The Dräger Polytron® 5720 IR is a cost-effective explosion proof transmitter for the detection of carbon dioxide in volume percentage or ppm. It uses a high-performance infrared Dräger PIR 7200 sensor that can be submerged in water without damage. A 3-wire 4-to-20 mA analogue output with relays makes it compatible with most control systems.
Efficient, stable and robust – the Dräger PIR 7200 With its stainless steel 316L enclosure and drift-free optics, the Dräger PIR 7200 is built for the harshest industrial and commercial outdoor environments. The unique 4-beam signal-stabilizing system makes the sensor resistant to dust or dirt deposits on the optical surfaces. Environmental and ageing effects are compensated for, ensuring long-term, drift-free operation. The measuring range can be freely adjusted between 0 – 2,000 ppm and 0 – 30 % volume, enabling a wide variety of applications.
Same design, same operating principles The Polytron 5720 belongs to the Dräger Polytron 5000 series. All transmitters in this series have the same design and user interface. This allows for uniform operation with reduced training and maintenance requirements. The backlit LCD display shows status information clearly with quick access to functions, using a non-intrusive magnetic wand. The gas concentration and measurement unit are displayed during normal operation. Coloured LEDs (green, yellow and red) provide additional alarm and status information.
Three relays for controlling external equipment The Dräger Polytron 5720 can also be supplied with three integrated relays on request. This enables you to use it as an independent gas detection system with two adjustable concentration alarms and one fault alarm. Audible alarms, signal lights or similar devices can thus be controlled locally without an additional cable between the transmitter and central controller.
Safe, robust housing for every application The Polytron 5720 features a Class I, Div. 1-rated explosion proof enclosure made from aluminum or stainless steel, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. A protection type “e” version includes a convenient docking station enabling installation in hazardous atmospheres without running conduit (where approved) and this also facilitates pre-assembly.
Make the impossible possible with the remote sensor An available remote sensor condulet housing allows the PIR sensor to be installed up to 30 metres away from the Polytron transmitter. A special Flow Cell accessory allows one person to perform the full calibration of a remote sensor from the transmitter.
Take your gas detection capabilities to new heights with the MX6 iBrid®. With the ability to monitor up to six gases at once, 24 sensor options, and a robust list of configurable settings, the MX6 iBrid easily adapts to your safety needs.
Monitor various gases and vapours with the modular Dräger REGARD® 3000 control system. Its multi-coloured status light signals the status of your gas detection system. The controller allows you to combine three different modules: Input, Relay and Gateway module. You can connect up to four analogue transmitters and eight relays in combination.
