How It Works
Optional remote sensor
Optional integral 8 amp relays
Most combustible gases absorb infrared light energy at
defined wavelengths, providing an absorption signature
The 5100-28-IT can be used as a 4-20 mA component for that gas. The principle of an infrared detector is based
or as a Modbus RTU node. For higher level system upon the absorption of the infrared light at a specific wave-
capability the module can interface directly to Sierra length as it passes through the gas. The more of the ab-
