The reliable technology used in the SafEye Xenon 800 Gas Detection System has excellent operational records in installations ranging from the African deserts to the hot and humid regions of Asia, the wet and cold North Sea, and the dry, cold regions of Alaska. New and advanced features include:
- Improved low-profile stainless steel housing for easy installation and alignment
- Heated detector and source optics eliminate icing, condensation, and snow on optical surfaces
- A unique combination of triple optics and dual-spectrum sensor allows the system to maintain operational integrity in up to 90% signal obscuration
- A 10-year warranty covers Xenon Flash Lamp
- 3mA maintenance call output
- Optional general purpose or intrinsically safe hand-held diagnostic/calibration unit
The SafEye Xenon 800 detector uses a dual-beam concept. One detector wavelength is chosen as the reference that measures and adjusts for environmental effects, but is unaffected by gas within the beam path. The second sample wavelength is chosen to measure target gas. The ratio of the two beams is continuously compared. When no gas is present, the two signals are equal. When a hydrocarbon gas cloud crosses the beam, the sample signal is absorbed or reduced in proportion to the amount of gas present, while the reference is not. If obscuration of the beam occurs as a result of fog, rain, or other adverse weather conditions, both beams are affected equally.
The SafEye Xenon 800 detector also compensates for water vapor, a common problem associated with outdoor monitoring. The automatic gain control enables the detector to operate in extreme environmental conditions, where signal obscuration levels of up to 90% can exist. In addition, the SafEye Xenon 800 Gas Detection System has a built-in temperature sensor to automatically compensate for temperature changes, and heated optics to eliminate icing, condensation, and snow on the optics.
