Important
Be sure to read and understand the entire
instruction manual before installing or operating
the gas detection system. This product is
intended to provide early warning of the presence
of a flammable or explosive gas mixture. Proper
device installation, operation, and maintenance is
required to ensure safe and effective operation.
application
The Model AutroPath HC800 is a line of sight infrared gas
detection system that provides continuous monitoring
of combustible hydrocarbon gas concentrations in the
range of 0 to 5 LFL-meters, over a distance of 5 to 120
meters. Standard system outputs include an electrically
isolated/non-isolated 4–20 mA dc current output with
the ability to go below 4 mA to indicate fault conditions,
and also HART and RS-485 Modbus communication.
Alarm and fault relays are available as an option.
The system consists of two stainless steel modules —
a transmitter and a receiver, along with mounting and
alignment bracket. The receiver provides the measurement
signal outputs, and is furnished with onboard “status
indication” LEDs and an internal magnetic calibration
switch. The transmitter houses a high quality xenon
flash lamp and “status indication” LEDs. Both modules
are powered from an external 24 volt DC supply and
are equipped with microprocessor controlled heated
optics to increase resistance to moisture and ice. Both
modules must be installed at approximately the same
elevation and must be aligned to point directly at one
another. No direct electrical interconnection between the
two modules is required.
The AutroPath HC800 is certified explosion-proof for
use in zone 2, category 3 hazardous areas, and holds
third party performance certification for Methane,
Butane, and Propane gas detection. It can be used
as a stand-alone detector, or as part of a larger facility
protection system using other Autronica Fire and
Security equipment.
