Amphenol SGX Sensortech IR15 Infrared Dual Gas Sensors

Amphenol SGX Sensortech IR15 Infrared Dual Gas Sensors use the Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) principle to detect and monitor the presence of gases. With an infrared source and specific filtering on the pyroelectric detectors mounted inside the optical/gas cavity, individual gases or types of gas can be identified and concentrations determined. These sensors are suitable for reliable monitoring of gas levels in general safety applications where sensor size is restricted and a flameproof enclosure for hazardous environments is required. The IR15 sensors contain two active detector elements for simultaneously monitoring of CO₂ and methane or hydrocarbon mixtures in the same size housing as some single gas sensors, making them more cost-effective than two separate sensors.
