The IR29 B uses non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor technology to detect combustible gases and vapors as well as carbon dioxide. For selective measurement results without false alarms, our patented 4-beam and 4-wavelength technology with gold-plated mirror optics is used, which dispenses with beam splitters altogether. The infrared sensors used detect up to three gases simultaneously and also enable measurements above the lower explosion limit (LEL), do not require oxygen and are insensitive to sensor poisons. The long-life sensors make the IR29 B a permanently reliable solution for detecting a wide range of combustible gases and vapors in the measuring ranges 0 to 100 % LEL as well as CO2 in the measuring range 0 to 10 % by volume. Automatic temperature compensation and linearization of the measurement signals ensure high measurement accuracy.
Communication and service
Signals are transmitted via the digital RS-485 interface (Modbus). Operating states are indicated by the transmitter via two status LEDs. Service and adjustments are carried out on site using the optional RC2 remote control (one-man adjustment). Self-monitoring of the IR29 increases device safety between maintenance intervals. Measured values and events are automatically recorded by the transmitter in an internal ring buffer. Test gases can be added for function control and adjustment using a calibration adapter.
Safety and instrument protection
The IR29 B is ATEX-certified for use in Ex zone 1. It meets the standards of increased safety “e” and encapsulation “m”. The housing made of V4A stainless steel and poly-carbonate is protected against the ingress of dust and water (protection class: IP67). Accessories include a guard plate and dust filter.

Intrinsically safe operation
Due to its intrinsically safe build, the EC28 Di can be used even in areas with a particularly high risk of explosion. A safety barrier (SB1 or Zener barrier; optionally available) has to be connected between the transmitter and the programmable logic controller (PLC) to convert the supply voltage to 24 V DC. This prevents the power lines from igniting within the Ex zone. The intrinsic safety of the EC28 Di is ATEX-certified and makes it suitable for applications up to Ex zone 0.
Communication and Service
Communication is carried out via a 4-20 mA signal. The Smart Sensor technology enables fast and uncomplicated replacement of the sensor.
Display and Control Buttons
The EC28 Di transmitter features a 2.2 inch LC display and three control buttons. In normal operation, the display shows the measured value or information on faults or alarms. In addition, the operating parameters (sample gas, measuring range, limit values, etc.) can be called up via the operating keys.
Remote Control RC2 (optional)
If the EC28 Di has to be mounted in a difficult-to-access location, the RC2 remote control facilitates servicing and adjustments (one-man adjustment). It displays the
same information that is shown on the transmitter‘s display.
Reliable Measurement & Minimal Operating Costs
The sensor and built-in temperature compensation ensure the highest measuring accuracy. The long sensor service life and low maintenance requirements ensure minimal operating costs.

Remote Control RC2 (optional)
Gases like ammonia and hydrogen are lighter than air. Transmitters with these sensors are therefore installed near the ceiling. To simplify servicing, these transmitters can be equipped with a permanently installed cable meaning that the RC2 remote control can be connected for maintenance work and settings can be made from ground level. The display of the RC2 remote control shows the same information as would be shown by the EC28 versions with a display. This makes inspection, maintenance and calibration much easier.
