Open path Spectrex IR SafeEye Quasar 900 gas detector
The newest open path IR SafeEye Quasar 900 transmitter is responsible for detecting wide range of hydrocarbons vapours (from alkanes such as methane to hexane and ethylene).
Detection distance reaches 200 m. The most significant features as reliability and efficiency are SIL2 and SIL3 approved, while FM performance/function tests were conducted.
Why Spectrex IR SafeEye Quasar 900 type open path transmitter?
Spectrex designed xenon flash lamp, which revolutionized world’s open path detection systems market. It avoids a previous failure, such as lack of immunity to false alarms. Nowadays, open path detectors supplement spot detectors.
They also take an executive action and offer many other advantages, like:
- Wider range of detection
- The best solution for leakage detection
- Short time of reaction
- Immunity to false alarms
- Provide information about transmitter coverage
- Instalaltion of transmitter is less complicated
- Provide information about the magnitude of hazard
Examples on application:
- Petrochemical industry plant
- Drilling rig and FPSO
- Chemical industry plant
- Loading gas terminals
- Magazines and huge buildings
Gas leakage that may be bypassed by spot detectors, are detected by open path transmitters.
Immunity to false alarms
Quasar 900 is fully immune to solar radiation and other sources of radiation, such as lightning, torches, welding.
Efficiency in any weather
Quasar 900 with xenon lamps adjusts to changing weather conditions, like: rain, fog, vapour, snow and is resistant to solar radiation or machines vibration in working environment.
Quasar 900 windows are heated, what prevents from snow or wet condensation on window’s surface, even in tough weather conditions. Quasar was tested in wide range of working temperatures (from -55ºC to + 65ºC).
Reliability
Quasar 900 detector is SIL 2 (IEC 61508) approved, equipped with heated window. Also the maintenance do not involve downtime.
Built-in memory of events
Internal data logger carries out detailed records – records up to 100 events.
Built-in memory of gaseous agents
Tuning the detector has never been so simple. No manual control or standard test gas are involved, due to preloaded calibration of Quasar 900.
The minimum detection level
IDue to natural stability and sensibility, the minimum detection level for Quasar 900 is of 0,15 LEL.m
Installation options
Quasar
offers installation options:
• analog output 0-20 mA with HART capability
• RS485 Modbus, where it can be linked to 256 detectors.
Approving certificates:
Hazardous area (Zone 1)
FM/FMC, ATEX, IECEx, GOST R, Inmetro
EFFICIENCY
FM 6325 approved by FM
EN60079-29-4 tested by FM
RELIABILITY
- SIL2 (TUV)
HART
HART module can be used with Quasar 900 what enables digital communication between endangered and safe zones. No additional wiring is needed and access to many information, such as the state of the every single detector, its configuration and historical information is provided.
A significant feature is reduction of wiring, as digital HART signals are transmitted via the same routes as power is supplied (0-20 mA).
Advantages of HART technology involving:
- Displaying of settings
- Changing of setting while process run – such as temperature of heater
- State of detector’s window
- Perform detector diagnostics
- Problem solving
- Access to event history
