The Polytron^® 8100 EC is Dräger’s top of the line explosion proof transmitter for the detection of toxic gases or oxygen. It uses a high performance plug and play electrochemical DrägerSensor^® to detect a specific gas. Besides a 3 wire 4 to 20 mA analog output with relays, it also offers Modbus and Fieldbus protocol making it compatible with most control systems.

With unique electrochemical DrägerSensors, Polytron 8100 can detect over 100 toxic gases and oxygen. These long life sensors provide continuous detection even under the harshest conditions. DrägerSensors offer the industry’s widest temperature and humidity range between -40°C to +65°C (-40°F to +150°F). The built-in memory contains all calibration and configuration information. Therefore the sensor ships pre calibrated and are ready for immediate operation. An intelligent sensor self-test function allows for predictive maintenance. The intrinsically safe connection of the sensor eliminates the need for a flame arrestor, giving you faster response times and higher sensitivity.
