Dräger Polytron 5100 EC

Advanced Stationary Toxic Gas and Oxygen Detection

The Dräger Polytron 5100 EC is an explosion-proof, state-of-the-art stationary transmitter designed for continuous monitoring of toxic gases and oxygen. Equipped with highly responsive electrochemical DrägerSensors, this robust system provides rapid, reliable detection of single gas hazards in harsh industrial environments. Its state-of-the-art microprocessor-controlled electronics convert readings into a standardized 4 to 20 mA analog signal, integrating seamlessly with your safety control systems.

Durable Design and Intuitive Operation

Engineered to withstand extreme environmental challenges, the Polytron 5100 EC features an option for either a copper-free aluminum or a 316 L stainless steel housing with an IP66/67 ingress rating. The user interface includes a clear, backlit graphical display that communicates real-time gas concentrations, status icons, and prompts. Maintenance is simplified through a non-intrusive design, allowing operators to calibrate the device and navigate settings using a magnetic wand without opening the housing or declassifying the hazardous area.

Enhanced Connectivity and Safety Features

With an advanced optional relay module, the Polytron 5100 EC can operate as an independent gas alarm system. This option provides two gas alarm relays and one fault relay to trigger local horns, strobes, or ventilation systems instantly. The unit utilizes an internal data logger to record historical trends and diagnostic metrics, ensuring full compliance with occupational health and facility safety regulations.
