Description

Reliable and quick measuring
The Pulsar 7000 Series detects a wide range of gaseous hydrocarbons. These include methane, propane
and ethylene. An accumulation of these gases in critical concentration can be measured at a distance of
up to 200 metres within two seconds. Status LEDs in the transmitter and receiver indicate the operational
readiness of the respective device. The continuous self-monitoring offers additional safety. If the signal strength
is insufficient, due to dirty optics or other non-operationally critical impairments, a configurable alarm signal
will be issued to indicate the need for maintenance. However, the system remains ready for use and can
continue to detect gases. In addition to increased operational readiness, there is the benefit of being able to
plan maintenance and thus avoid unexpected downtime. The Pulsar 7000 Series is suitable for safety-related
applications up to SIL 2.
Reliable even in adverse weather conditions
Reliability is guaranteed not just under ideal weather conditions. For fog, mist, heavy rain or snow, the
Pulsar 7000 Series has a mode with increased flash rate and light intensity. Thus, increased IR absorption
caused by environmental factors is compensated for. In addition, the heated optics prevent condensate or ice
from forming on the lens.
Easy to align, configure and commission
The alignment of the transmitter and receiver and the subsequent commissioning of the system can be easily
done by a single person, without the need for an additional telescope or alignment mirror. After an initial rough
alignment by eye, the exact alignment of transmitter and receiver is carried out using the fine adjustment screws
and a handheld terminal. The alignment is displayed either in a coordinate system with target optics or in the
form of numeric coordinates. The built-in calibration feature in the Pulsar 7000 Series does not require manual
adjustment or test gas. After alignment, an automatic zero point adjustment with system check starts, which
completes the commissioning of the system. All parameters are stored and later used to detect misalignments
or deposits on the lenses.
