Quick Specs

GD2G Fixed Point Infrared Gas Detector

The GD2G Ex-proof Infrared Gas Detector delivers continuous monitoring of combustible gases in high-risk industrial environments. Engineered for durability, this fixed point infrared gas detector ensures superior reliability in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.

Utilizing advanced infrared (IR) technology, the GD2G is specifically designed for challenging applications where sensor poisons (like silicones, sulfur, and halogenated hydrocarbons) or low-oxygen levels are present. This optical sensing method ensures long-term stability and accurate readings in conditions that would typically stress standard pellistor-based units.

Why choose the GD2G Infrared Detector?

  • Extended Sensor Life: Designed for longevity, the optical sensor minimizes operational costs with a typical lifespan of 5+ years and robust resistance to saturation in high-gas concentrations.
  • Stability in Challenging Environments: The dual-beam IR sensing method self-compensates for environmental changes, ensuring accuracy even in oxygen-depleted atmospheres or fluctuating humidity.
  • Industrial Compatibility: Ideal for methane leak detection, propane monitoring, and hydrocarbon safety in refineries, wastewater treatment plants, and paint booths.

The unit seamlessly integrates into your existing safety systems via industry-standard 4-20mA analog output or relay contacts, providing immediate visual and audible alerts before gas concentrations reach dangerous LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) levels.

Ideal Applications for Infrared Technology

Engineered for environments where standard sensors fail

Paint Booths & Spraying Lines

The Challenge: Silicone and lead vapors found in paints rapidly “poison” traditional catalytic sensors, causing them to fail blindly.

The Solution: The GD2G IR uses optical infrared technology that is completely immune to silicone poisoning, ensuring continuous protection in automotive and industrial painting operations without the need for frequent sensor replacement.

Wastewater & Biogas Facilities

The Challenge: Biogas production areas often have high concentrations of Methane (CH4) and low oxygen levels. Catalytic sensors require oxygen to work and can burn out in high-gas environments.

The Solution: Our Infrared sensor requires no oxygen to operate and can accurately monitor Methane levels up to 100% LEL (and even %Vol) in anaerobic digesters and sewer lines, providing reliable “fail-safe” monitoring.

Oil, Gas & Petrochemical Refineries

The Challenge: Harsh outdoor environments with fluctuating humidity and potential hydrocarbon leaks.

The Solution: The GD2G IR is built for Zone 1 hazardous areas, detecting Propane, Butane, and other hydrocarbons. Its advanced sensor prevents condensation, eliminating false alarms caused by humidity or temperature spikes common in outdoor storage tanks and drilling rigs.
