Function

The GD10P continuously monitors the atmosphere for combustible hydrocarbon gases using infrared absorption technology. When gas enters the optical path, the detector measures the reduction in infrared energy caused by the gas molecules and converts this into a gas concentration reading. Unlike catalytic bead detectors, the GD10P is resistant to poisoning and contamination, providing long-term stable operation with minimal maintenance requirements.
