Ir5500 Open Path Infrared Gas Detector Msa Safety United
Open path gas detector wiring diagram. Power must remain disconnected until all other wiring connections are made. Wpower wiring requirements power requirements the ir5500 open path gas detector is powered by 24 vdc 10 operating. 014 mm2 to 25 mm2 wire. The detector operates on the principle of infrared ir absorption. A highly sensitive range for detection of low level leaks or lel meters a hazardous gas level. Searchline excel open path gas detector opgd consists of a transmitter unit that sends an infrared beam to a receiver unit up to 200 metres away and can be located where a flammable hydrocarbon gas cloud is likely to occur.
Primary dc voltage power must be provided by the customer. Since the model ir5500 infrared open path system is designed to continuously monitor for leaks of combustible gas a power switch is not included to prevent accidental system shutdown.

Appendix a wiring configurations provides wiring diagrams for installation. The gas concentration output for open path detectors is expressed in ppm meters parts per million of combustible gas times the path length in meters. Gases absorb light at specific wavelengths.
C is the concentration of the gas l is the path length of the beam through the gas.
