Sensors typically last 3-5 years, after which they must be exchanged. • Pellistors need oxygen: their ability to detect gas reduces significantly in oxygen deficient atmospheres. IREX is an innovative infrared (IR) flammable gas detector designed specifically to directly replace pellistor (catalytic bead) type flammable gas detectors. IREX operates from control systems designed solely for use with pellistor-based gas detectors: it produces a mV Wheatsone Bridge type signal (as per a pellistor) and operates from as little as 2.9Vdc. IREX is supplied with an M20 type fixing enabling originally installed detector junction boxes and cables to be retained. IR Technology versus Pellistor Gas Sensors Pellistor sensor technology has provided effective flammable gas detection at low cost for many years. Pellistors do however have several disadvantages: IREX All of these issues are overcome using IREX.

Area reserved for distributor stamp The IREX concept enables pellistor-based gas detection systems to be upgraded to dual-wavelength IR gas detector technology without incurring the very significant costs associated with upgrading the control system and re-installation.
