1.1. Overview
The MRLDS-250 NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) is a
state-of-the-art fixed gas detector that can detect a
wide range of refrigerant gases. The MRLDS-250 can
be used on a stand-alone basis or integrated into
controls or a Building Management System (BMS).
The MRLDS-250 can be used in locations that require
continuous monitoring and to add gas detection
solutions to an existing system.

1.2. Detection Options
1.2.1. Broadband vs. Gas
Specific
The MRLDS-250 NDIR refrigerant gas detectors are
available in two versions: broadband and gas-specific.
1.2.2. Broadband Gas Detection
The broadband gas detector (P/N 809-0030) is used as
a general purpose gross leak detector and is factory
tested and certified. It is shipped from the factory with
accuracy as shown in Table 1-1 (gas dependent). If
more accurate detection is needed, gas specific
versions are available, which are factory certified and
calibrated to the target refrigerant.
The broadband gas detector combines refrigerants
into 4 groups shown in Figure 1-2. Measurement
performance is based on an average response profile
for all of the gases within the group.
