Spectrex Quasar 900 Series open-path gas detector with xenon flash lamp, SIL2 approval, HART communication, and wide weather resistance for hazardous areas.
The SafEye Quasar 900 Series is an open-path gas detector using xenon flash lamp technology for reliable detection in all weather conditions. It covers up to 660ft (200m) and detects hydrocarbons including methane to hexane and ethylene. It is approved for hazardous areas with SIL2 reliability, immune to false alarms from sunlight or welding, and features a built-in data logger and HART communication. The unit is designed for easy alignment and commissioning with a telescope and includes a gas library for methane, propane, and ethylene calibration.
The detector is housed in 316L stainless steel, rated for -67°F to +149°F (-55°C to +65°C), and has IP66/IP68 protection. It offers 0-20mA analog output with HART, RS485 Modbus, and a 3-color LED status indicator. Accessories include tilt mounts, HART handhelds, and commissioning kits for setup and diagnostics.
