SC311 Infrared Combustible Gas Sensors

Millennium II Series Sensors
The SC311 delivers the latest technology
advancements in infrared sensing of flammable
gases in a rugged package designed for the most
extreme industrial environments. Hydrocarbon
gas LEL detection is fast, reliable and highly
accurate with only periodic bump testing
recommended and a simple annual calibration
sequence. A full 5 year warranty is included with
a typical sensor life of 8–10 years.

„„ Lowest power consumption available ST3 Sensors shown with JB-MPD-A/S.

„„ Long range (+2,000 ft.) sensor separation

„„ Industry leading 5 year sensor warranty „„ Very fast response and highly accurate
„„ Field selectable gas curves available „„ Designed to perform in the most extreme
„„ Immune to poisoning - standard gases detected industrial environments
include methane, propane, butane, and ethylene

Single or Dual Channel Transmitter Failsafe Operation

Available & Advanced Diagnostics
There’s no longer the need to purchase multiple gas specific Continuous self-check for several performance parameters as
detectors. You have the option to utilize 1 or 2 toxic and/or well as environmental compensation for temperature, pressure
combustible gas sensors on a single Millennium II transmitter and humidity maintains a high level of sensor performance and
and easily mix and match any of our sensor technologies. reliability.

Sensor Designed for Durability

& Performance
High resolution, dual-beam optics are employed in the sensor
design which eliminates reflective surfaces preventing fouling,
fogging or misalignment. Not only does this provide enhanced
overall performance but it also means low power consumption
which equals cost savings and more reliable coverage.
