Compur Statox 501 IR LC - Infrared detection of combustible gases.

The Statox 501 IR LC sensor head consists of an increased safety (EEx e) terminal box and
a sensor with integrated electronics. The sensor operates with IR absorption principle. The
supply voltage required is the same as for a catalytic sensor. Its signal output is also
identical to a catalytic sensor, therefore it can be directly connected to the 501 Controller.

The important technical advantages of an infrared gas detector are now available for almost
the same low price as a catalytic gas detector. The big advantage: As this product has the
same energy requirements and signal output as common gas detection systems, the Statox
501 IR LC can be used to upgrade existing systems wherever the catalytic sensor did not do
the job.

The Statox 501 IR LC it is a reasonable alternative to catalytic sensors wherever gas
detection equipment is used to monitor hydrocarbons. The standard ex works calibration is
Methane.
