DURTEX HC

Product catalog summary
Overview: The DURTEX HC is a detector for explosive gases using catalytic technology, specifically designed for detecting methane, natural gas, butane, propane, and hydrogen. It features automatic gas selection via a jumper for RS485 detectors and is compatible with various systems through 4-20mA and RS485 connections.
Available Gases: Methane, natural gas, butane, propane, and hydrogen.
Installation Guidelines: The detector should be installed in areas where gas accumulates, approximately 1.5 meters from gas appliances, avoiding air flows. Recommended installation heights vary by gas type: 30 cm from the ceiling for methane, natural gas, and hydrogen; 30 cm from the floor for butane; and 100 cm from the floor for propane. The coverage area is approximately 16m2.
Maintenance: Factory-calibrated detectors do not require recalibration upon installation. Annual checks are recommended, following the installation manual for testing and recalibration if necessary.
Warnings: Avoid using detectors in the presence of certain gases like hydrogen sulphur and fluorine, which can inhibit sensor response. Ensure proper cable input and avoid immersing the detector in liquids or drilling the detector box to maintain its IP65 protection grade.
Technical Characteristics: The detector operates on a voltage supply of 10V – 30V DC with a maximum consumption of 95mA at 12V DC. It has a detection range from 0 to 100% L.E.L. and features optical indicators for loop and sensor faults. The device is resistant to silicone vapours and has a useful life of approximately 4 years.
Guarantee: The detectors are guaranteed against manufacturing defects for one year from the purchase date, as detailed in the installation manual.
Ordering Information: Ensure the correct product code is used when ordering, and specify the gas to be detected for 4-20mA detectors.
Product Codes: Various codes are available for different gas types and configurations, including options with relay outputs.

DURTEX HC-1

Detector for explosive gases using catalytic technology Detector for explosive gases using catalytic technology –pellistor-. Available formats: • RS485 addressable 4 wires connection, compatible with EUROSONDELCO & DURGAS, and could be installed in parallel up to 16 detectors in the same loop. • 4-20mA 3 wires connection, compatible with any system provided of 4-20mA inputs. Detection range from 0 to 100% L.E.L. Optical indicators of loop and sensor fault Selecting the gas to be detected by jumper (RS485) Optional programmable alarm relay (4-20mA) and optional output relay (RS485) Resistant to silicone vapours (HDMS) AVAILABLE GASES Methane, natural gas, butane, propane and hydrogen. Appropriated 4-20mA detectors calibration at factory requires prior information about the gas to be detected. DURTEX HC allows the automatic selection of the gas to detect by using a jumper –RS485 detectors- PLACE / HEIGHT OF INSTALLATION In those areas where the gas is accumulated, at 1,5 meters away from gas appliances and avoiding air flows. Coverage area is 16m2 approx. Recommended height of installation: 30 cm. from ceiling: Methane, natural gas, hydrogen 30 cm. from floor: Butane 100 cm. from floor: Propane MAINTENANCE DURTEX HC detectors have been calibrated at factory with target gas therefore do not need to be calibrated at installation again. Check DURTEX HC detectors at least once per year, and follow the instructions of the installation manual for testing and recalibrating operations if required. WARNING Do not use these detectors in presence of hydrogen sulphur, fluorine, methyl chloride, trichloroethylene, sulphur dioxide, silicon vapours or sulphydric acid, as presence of these gases can inhibit sensor response or been damaged. Use wire hose of the correct section for the cable input. Do not immerse the detector in water or any other liquid. Do not drill detector box otherwise it will lose its protection grade (IP65) DURTEX HC has been designed for atmospheres with lower value than 100% L.E.L. of the gas which are calibrated for and with a normal presence of ox
