Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection has provided its GD10P infrared gas detector with a full firmware revision and upgrade, enhancing the product’s performance in high demand mode SIL2 approved applications. This milestone, as part of the product’s continuous improvement lifecycle, builds on circa 30 years of proven field experience for GD10P in the harshest industry environments and further supports the provision of a far longer warranty than conventional infrared gas detection systems.

Discover its main benefits : Functional safety : SIL 2 / SC3 certified according to the IEC 61508 route 1S and route 1H standard, it is now capable of securing your installations within extreme operating conditions. Solid-state infrared source : Here, the optical chamber, featuring two independent IR silicone (semiconductor) sources, is sufficiently robust and stable to merit a 15-year warranty. This compares favourably with the standard 2-3 year warranty commonly available with conventional IR detectors. GD10P comes with a 5 year warranty. Proven in the field : Among countless real-life applications, one worth calling out is the detection of ethylene in recirculating air on board large industrial machines. Most applications of this type now require SIL2 level gas detection in high demand mode, and GD10P offers this feature without hardware redundancies. Low cost of ownership : The design is so stable it allows for an ultra-fast speed of response while providing unparalleled service life and detector stability, saving on maintenance and service costs.
