The GasGuard R utilizes proven
infrared sensor technology for fast
and accurate leak detection. With
no moving parts and no cells to
replace, the GasGuard R provides
real-time continuous monitoring
and inexpensive long-term
operating costs.
The GasGuard R is refrigerant gas
specific, so false alarms from floor
cleaners and food off-gasing is non-
existent. The output signal is also not
affected by EMI/RFI, moisture or
drastic temperature variations such
as washdowns, defrost cycles, etc.
The GasGuard R provides an
industry standard linear 4/20 mA
output signal compatible with most
gas detection systems and PLCs.
The high-quality polycarbonate
enclosure offer excellent chemical
corrosion protection and high impact
resistance.
Applications
- Refrigeration Systems
- Food Processing areas
- Perimeter Monitoring
- Bottling Plants
- Breweries
- Ice Rinks
- Supermarkets
- Rack Houses
- Compressor Rooms
- Pharmaceuticals
- Sea Vessels
Benefits
- Extremely long life
- Low cost of ownership
- Simple operation
- Rugged and reliable
- Versatile for any application
The standard GasGuard R sensor comes
equipped with a corrosion proof enclosure and
adaptive temperature control, and is designed
to work anywhere. With only one sensor for
any application, designing, ordering and
maintaining your refrigerant monitoring system
is less hassle. The 0/500 ppm model provides
the highest accuracy and lowest leak
detection ability, starting at 10 ppm, to meet
the California Air Resources Board
specifications.
The GasGuard R is available for two different
target gas classes. The R8 model operates at
approximately 8 microns wavelength and
detects R134a, R404a, R410a, R507a and
other HFC gases. The R9 model operates at
approximately 9 microns wavelength and
detects R22, R11 and other CFC/HCFC gases.
The GasGuard R is prepared to survive in just
about any harsh industrial condition. The
adaptive temperature control system allows it
to automatically adjust to extreme temperature
fluctuations. Every sensor circuit board is
sealed forever in potting compound, protecting
electronic components and copper tracing
from corrosion. A specially vented chemical-
resistant polycarbonate enclosure protects the
sensor from accidental damage, weather and
even direct hose-hits from clean-up crews.
