Safeye 700 Open Path Combustible Gas Detector
Detects the gas presence of a wide range of gaseous hydrocarbons, such as alkanes, alkenes (C1-C8), alcohols, LNG, LPG, and ethylene. SafEye 700 consists of an advanced Xenon Flash infrared transmitter (source) and infrared detector (receiver). The system analyzes the absorption of radiation caused by gases in the atmosphere and comparing it to background atmospheric absorption. A single system can monitor line-of-sight up to 460 feet. It’s specifically engineered to perform in harsh installations such as high-velocity airflows, humidity, corrosive gases, and up to 90% beam blockage.
