Premier Infrared Sensors
Designed for use with a micro-controller based circuit board. Can also be used with portable, battery operated instruments. Dynament infrared sensors operate by using the NDIR principle to monitor the presence of target gas. The sensor contains a long life tungsten filament infrared light source, an optical cavity into which gas diffuses; temperature compensated pyroelectric infrared detectors, and an integral semiconductor temperature sensor with electronics to process the signals from the pyroelectric detector.
