The IR600 series analysers combine
established NDIR sensor technology with
Hitech’s application know-how to measure
methane, carbon dioxide and carbon
monoxide in a variety of applications. The
easy to use analysers come as a complete
package with the in-built pump, on-board
filter, temperature and pressure correction
over ambient ranges making the analyser
‘plug-and-play’ for a wide range of uses.
The non-depleting sensor has a long life and
infrequent calibration requirement resulting in
a low cost of ownership.
Methane analysers (CH4) are available with
0-5%, 0-10%, 0-30% and 0-100% ranges
for process control and general purpose
applications. A special 0-100% version is
available for typical biogas backgrounds as
seen in landfill gas, biogas and anaerobic
digester applications.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) analysers are
available in 7 ranges from 0-1000ppm up to
0-100% ranges for composting, brewing, gas
mixing, food processing and general purpose
applications. A special 0-100% version is
available for typical biogas backgrounds as
seen in landfill gas, biogas and anaerobic
digester applications. A special 0-30% version
is designed for argon backgrounds as found in
welding gas applications.

Carbon monoxide (CO) analysers are
available with 0-3%, 0-10%, 0-30% and
0-100% ranges for general purpose use.
Typical applications include gas mixing and
blending.
Nitrous oxide (N2O), butane (C4H10)
and hexane (C6H14) analysers are also
available in ppm ranges for special purpose
applications. Please enquire, stating your full
process conditions, for more details on these
products.
The IR600 series all feature outputs
and alarms. There is a choice of milliamp
outputs, fully programmable over the range
of the analyser. There are two programmable,
set-point relay alarms for concentration and
one fault relay alarm. The on-board filter will
withstand normal conditions but for ‘dirty’ or
wet applications, additional external in-line
filters can be added. Hitech are always pleased
to advise on bespoke systems according to
specific application requirements.
The internal pump enables the analyser
to be sited up to 30 metres from the intake.
Routine maintenance is limited to occasional
filter replacement and gas test or calibration.
Both are simple, quick procedures making the
analyser versatile and easy to use.
