Infrared line-of-sight detector monitors combustible gases
Det-Tronics
The FlexSight LS2000 Line-of-Sight Infrared Gas Detector (photo) is said to have an advanced optical field of view, a rugged housing design, simplified mount and breakthrough alignment tolerance. It provides continuous monitoring of combustible gas levels between two points at a range of over 100 m. The design helps the device to overcome many of the common installation, maintenance and performance challenges that limit the use of current line-of-sight solutions, says the manufacturer. For example, the new FlexSight LS2000 has an optics field-of-view with a 60% improvement over previous leading technology, and improved resistance to vibration, creating a more tolerant and faster alignment process, and it is certified to function over a temperature range from –55 to +75°C. — Det-Tronics, Minneapolis, Minn.
