Product Information

Overview

Introducing the rugged and reliable OLCTIR

Offshore platforms, petrochemical and chemical industries, naval installations, waste water treatment plants… in these types of environments, infrared technology is very often the only solution. The OLCT IR is built to withstand these harsh environments, which require the most efficient gas and flame detection.

Proven Leading-Edge Technology

  • “Zero Maintenance” Efficiency
  • The answer to false alarms
  • Non-intrusive calibration

Two Configurations for Adapting to Your Site

  • Standalone Version
  • Free-Fitting Version

Unrivaled Performance

  • Reliability
  • Durability

Special Version

  • The semi-conductor electronics of the OLCT IR guarantee extreme accuracy and constant stability.
  • Costs are considerably reduced:- Lifetime detector stability after initial calibration- Requires minimal maintenance
  • The economic implications of false alarms have led us to design the OLCT IR with the ability to ignore external elements that trigger false alarms.  
  • Equipped with a non-intrusive system allowing a single operator to access a protected menu.
  • The detector can therefore be calibrated in an explosive area in total compliance with safety rules.  
  • Includes a case fitted with a mounting system and a wiring compartment for electrical connections in explosive zones.
  • Magnetic system for calibrating in explosive zones without opening the compartment cover.  
  • Includes a case fitted with a 3-wire output for connection to any approved junction box.  
  • Highly resistant to sensor poisoning
  • High gas concentration does not saturate the transmitted signal
  • All vital functions are maintained even if an accumulation of dust or other substances reduces transmission by 70%.
  • Heated mirror and window to prevent misting or icing of the optics
  • Operates in an oxygen deficient atmosphere  
  • Stainless steel explosion-proof compartment, secure connection compartment
  • The mirror is made of quartz
  • External optics are made of quartz capable of withstanding high pressure and abrasive substances.
  • Simultaneously optimizes the response to various hydrocarbons, meeting the requirements for multihazard sites.
