Dräger Polytron^® 5200 CAT

The Dräger Polytron^® 5200 CAT is a cost effective explosion proof transmitter for the detection of flammable gases in the lower explosion limit (LEL). It uses a catalytic bead DrägerSensor^® Ex … DD, which will detect most flammable gases and vapors. A 3 wire 4 to 20 mA analog output with relays makes it compatible with most control systems.

Fast and stable – the DrägerSensor Ex … DD

The latest generation type DD gas sensor is based on the proven catalytic bead principle. Innovative dual active elements result in good long-term zero stability. Dräger has raised the bar yet again for poison resistance. The resulting long service life provides low ownership costs. Measuring performance has also been improved. The innovative gas inlet allows the sensor to respond to gas within a matter of seconds.

Same design, same operating principle

Polytron 5200 belongs to the Dräger Polytron 5000 series. All transmitters in this series have the same design and user interface. This allows for uniform operation with reduced training and maintenance requirements.

The backlit display shows status information clearly with quick access to functions using a non-intrusive magnetic wand. The gas concentration and measurement unit are displayed during normal operation. Colored LEDs (green, yellow and red) provide additional alarm and status information.

Three relays for controlling external equipment

Upon request, the Dräger Polytron 5200 can also be supplied with three integrated relays. This enables you to use it as an independent gas detection system with two arbitrarily adjustable concentration alarms and one fault alarm. Audio alarms, signal lights, or similar devices can thus be controlled locally without an additional cable between the transmitter and central controller.

Safe, robust housing for every application

Polytron 5200 features a Class I, Div. 1 rated explosion proof enclosure made from aluminum or stainless steel, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. A protection type “e” version includes a convenient docking station which allows installation in hazardous atmospheres without running conduit (where approved).
