Product catalog summary
Overview: The Sagittarius FID is a monitoring system designed to measure the Lower Explosion Limit (LEL) in flammable gases. It features a T90 response time of less than 4 seconds, high reliability, and is EN 1539 certified. The system is cost-effective due to its multi-point layout and can heat samples up to 180°C. It is available in compact wall, rack, outdoor, or ATEX area mounting configurations.
Principle of FID Detector: The Flame Ionization Detector (FID) operates by combusting clean air, hydrogen, and sample gases to detect hydrocarbon ions, which generate a current proportional to the organic concentration in the sample gas. It is renowned for its accuracy and reliability in detecting organic compounds, suitable for high-temperature applications.
Operation: The system continuously samples gas through a probe and analyzer. If the concentration exceeds set limits, system status contacts are activated. It integrates with plant PLC logic for safety, using free contacts (NC) for immediate response.
Layouts: Available in various configurations: compact wall-mounted (single or multi-line, max. 2), rack with H2 leak sensor and air conditioner (single or multi-line, max. 10), and ATEX rack (single or multi-line, max. 2).
Comparison with Traditional Systems: The Sagittarius FID offers reduced maintenance due to sampling loop technology, stable readings even with common interferents, and high accuracy (±0.5% LEL). It conforms to EN 60079-29-1 and EN 1539 standards.
Requirements: The system requires pure hydrogen (grade 4.5) at 3 bar, with a consumption of 50 ml/min, compressed air at 5 bar with a consumption of 4 m³/hour, and a power supply of 230V or 115V.
Calibration and Maintenance: Annual maintenance visits are recommended, with calibration verification every six months. The procedure is software-driven and quick, using a standard gas cylinder.
After-Sales Expertise: The company offers email, remote, and phone service, with over 500 interventions performed annually and more than 1000 analyzers supported worldwide. Response times are under 5 working days in Europe and 10 worldwide.

Sagittarius 2000 LEL-2

PRINCIPLE OF FID DETECTOR FID: Flame Ionization Detector Through the combustion of clean air, hydrogen and sample gases, the FID detects hydrocarbon ions that induce a current. This current is directly proportional to the organic concentration in the sample gas. The FID is considered the most accurate and reliable detector on the market for organic compounds. It is suitable for any type of application, including those for high-temperature samples.

Sagittarius 2000 LEL-3

HOW IT WORKS The sample is continuously sucked from the sampling probe and routed through the analyzer for measurement. If the set concentration limit is exceeded, the system status contacts are activated. Safety integration: The analyzer interfaces with the plant's PLC logic via free contacts (NC), ensuring an immediate and reliable response.
