IMPORTANT
Be sure to read and understand the entire instruc-
tion manual before installing or operating the gas
detection system. This product is intended to pro-
vide early warning of the presence of a flammable
or explosive gas mixture. Proper device installa-
tion, operation, and maintenance is required to
ensure safe and effective operation.
APPLICATION
The Open Path Eclipse
Model OPECL is an open path
infrared gas detection system that provides continuous
monitoring of combustible hydrocarbon gas concentra-
tions in the range of 0 to 5 LEL-meters. Standard sys-
tem outputs include an electrically isolated/non-isolated
4-20 mA dc current output, with HART communication
and RS-485 MODBUS communication.
The system consists of two stainless steel modules — a
transmitter and a receiver, along with mounting fixture
hardware. Both modules are powered from an external
24 volt DC supply. The receiver provides the measure-
ment signal outputs, and is furnished with an onboard
"status indication" LED and an internal magnetic calibra-
tion switch. The transmitter houses redundant xenon
flashlamps. Both modules are installed at approximate-
ly the same elevation and must be aligned to point
directly at one another. No direct electrical interconnec-
tion between the two modules is required.
The Open Path Eclipse is ideal for use in harsh outdoor
environments and is certified for use in Class I, Division
1 and Division 2 hazardous areas. It can be used as a
stand-alone detector, or as part of a larger facility pro-
tection system using other Det-Tronics equipment such
as the R8471 Series Controller or the Eagle Quantum
Premier Fire and Gas Detection/Releasing System.
