DAX 420-IR

The DAX 420-IR detector was designed to continuously measure the presence of various gases in the air.
Its operating principle, infrared, gives it its major benefits:
- very long lifetime,
- increased gas detection selectivity,
- immunity to poisons and,
- low maintenance cost.
By connecting it to a Dalemans unit or to any other instrument that can receive a 4..20 mA signal, you will benefit from a highly flexible installation.
