IR-6000 Hydrocarbon Sensor/Transmitter ENMET Corporation 1.0 Introduction The IR-6000 Infrared hydrocarbon Sensor/Transmitter (S/T) is a microprocessor based intelligent gas detector that continuously monitors combustible hydrocarbon gases and vapors in the % Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) or % by Volume ranges, depending on instrument configuration. The IR-6000 is ideally suited for use in harsh environments and where the cost of required maintenance for conventional catalytic detectors is prohibitive.
IR-6000 Hydrocarbon Sensor/Transmitter ENMET Corporation 2.0 Infrared Detection Technology The IR-6000 Infrared gas detector uses infrared absorption technology for detecting combustible hydrocarbon gases. Gases absorb infrared light only at certain wavelengths. The concentration of a gas can be measured by the difference of two channels (wavelengths), a reference and a measurement channel.
IR-6000 Hydrocarbon Sensor/Transmitter ENMET Corporation WHITE: Zero Calibration RED: +24 VDC 3/4“ NPT THREAD Earth Ground Stud 10-32 BLACK: -24VDC (DC Common) BLUE: 4–20mA Output Zero Calibration Performed by applying clean air and touching the white wire to the black wire for 10 seconds 6.5 inches 165mm 2.
IR-6000 Hydrocarbon Sensor/Transmitter ENMET Corporation 3.0 Installation WARNING: The user shall be made aware that if the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. NOTE: The IR-6000 transmitters are zeroed and have their response to the target gas verified prior to shipment.
IR-6000 Hydrocarbon Sensor/Transmitter ENMET Corporation 4.0 Operation 4.1 Normal Operation Clean Environment Using MX-Series Controller: After power is applied, the IR-6000 enters an initial one (1) minute warm-up period before the normal operation begins. A 4–20 mA signal corresponds to the detected gas concentration. See Table 2. The 4–20 mA output of the IR-6000 is a non-isolated current source. Table 2: Current Output and Corresponding Gas Concentration Current Output 0.0 mA 0.2 mA 0.4 mA 0.8 mA 1.
IR-6000 Hydrocarbon Sensor/Transmitter ENMET Corporation 6.0 Zero Calibration NOTE: Unlike most gas detector transmitters an IR transmitter only requires that a zero calibration be preformed. Application of a target gas is a performance “check” only. 6.1 Clean Environment The IR-6000 is factory zeroed and spanned. Unlike catalytic sensors, the IR-6000 typically does not require routine field span gas calibration to ensure proper operation.
IR-6000 Hydrocarbon Sensor/Transmitter ENMET Corporation 8.0 WARRANTY ENMET warrants new instruments to be free from defects in workmanship and material under normal use for a period of one year from date of shipment from ENMET. The warranty covers both parts and labor excluding instrument calibration and expendable parts such as calibration gas, filters, batteries, etc... Equipment believed to be defective should be returned to ENMET within the warranty period (transportation prepaid) for inspection.
