Sulphur hexafluoride – SF6

Thanks to the wide variety of sensor technologies that can be used with this monitor, the OLCT100 fixed gas detector can detect a large range of gases. The combustible gases can be detected with a catalytic or infrared sensor, toxic gases with an electrochemical sensor, freons with a semiconductor sensor and carbon dioxide with an infrared sensor.

Two outputs types are available for this fixed gas detector range. The first one is the 4-20 mA analog output. It can be used to detect combustible, toxic and asphyxiating gases but also solvents, freons or carbon dioxide. The second output version is a Wheatstone bridge for the detection of combustible gases (0-100% LEL only).

Many accessories are available for the OLCT100 gas detector to improve sensor response time or to get optimal implementation.

The OLC/OLCT100 range is available under 5 versions:

• OLC100 : Wheatstone bridge output detector to detect the combustible gases (0-100% LEL only)
• OLCT 100 XP: Explosion-proof version equipped with a catalytic, electrochemical or semiconductor sensor to detect the combustible or toxic gases or oxygen.
• OLCT 100 IS: Extremely reliable version to detect toxic gases or oxygen.
• OLCT 100 XP IR: Explosion-proof version equipped with an infrared sensor to detect the combustible gases or CO2
• OLCT 100 XP HT: High temperature explosion-proof version to detect combustible gases up to 200 °C

Designed according to the most demanding requirements, the Oldham OLCT 80 detector transmitter is one of the most reliable fixed gas detector on the market. This fixed gas detector is available in remote version and uses intrinsically safe or fireproof sensors according to the target gases. The OLCT 80 has been especially designed to detect O2, the combustible, toxic and refrigerant gases: AsH3, C2H2, C2H4, C2H4O, C2H6, C2H6O, C3H6, C3H6O, C3H8, C3H8O, C4H10, C4H10O, C4H6, C4H8O, C5H12, C6H14, C6H6, C7H8, C8H10, CH20, CH3OH, CH4, Cl2, ClO2, CO, CO/H2 null, CO2, COCl2, F2, H2, H2S, HCl, HCN, HF, N2H4, NH3, NO, NO2, O2, O3, PH3, SiH4, SO2 and the volatile organic compounds (VOC).

Developed to meet the most demanding requests from industries, the OLCT 80 detector transmitter is a powerful and cost effective fixed gas detection solution. This high-end gas detector can be used in ATEX zone 1 and features a line-of-sight range up to 3 km.

This multi-function triple head fixed gas detector is equipped with a digital display, three alarm relays for high, low and fault alarms and two 4-20 mA inputs. Several other input and output types are also available: analog, TOR, RS485 Modbus.

The calibration of the OLCT 80 is non-intrusive and can be performed by only one operator either in automatic mode at the sensor location or in semi-automatic mode with confirmation at the gas detection controller.

Moreover, as the high-end gas detection technologies used by the OLCT 80 detector transmitter require low power, the gas detector is very energy efficient. This way, fixed gas detection operation costs are reduced.

According to the target gases, this detector transmitter can be equipped with XP IR infrared sensors as well as catalytic, electrochemical or semi-conductor sensors. The OLCT 80 can furthermore be configured in standard, stand alone or digital versions.
