11…28Vdc power supply. 

Nondispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor designed for the detection of carbon dioxide 
(CO

). 

Up to three alarm thresholds plus sensing element fail. 

LED on sensing element body to indicate operating status. 

Automatic countdown of sensor life.

 

Use 

The URD20SS detectors are used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide (CO

2

), in 

areas classified as Zone 2. 

It detects carbon dioxide leaks or emissions in industrial environments, hospitals, 
fermentation plants, greenhouses, stables and, more in general, where carbon dioxide 
is stored, generated or produced. 

URD20SS sensors can be used in stand-alone mode with 4…20mA output or with an 
optional voltage-free contact relay card having the following four digital outputs: 

Pre-alarm, 1

st

 alarm threshold, 2

nd

 alarm threshold, sensor fail. 

Operation 

If there is a gas leakage, the detector compares the measured concentration value 
with the threshold limit setpoints and energises the associated relays. Information on 
the measured concentration value is always at the 4…20mA output. 

Ordering 

To order, simply state the part number: 

URD20SS
