Hydran* M2-X Installation Guide

•  C2H4: Typical 1.5 ± 0.5 % of concentration 
•  10 minutes sensor response (90 % of step change) 
 
*Hydran M2-X H2 accuracy is specified up to 2000 ppm; at 
concentrations above 2000 ppm the device continues to 
provide trending to 5000 ppm, but potentially outside the 
published accuracy specification. 
This is because the Hydran M2-X H2 calibration and 
performance is optimised and tested in the factory in the 
key range of concentrations for transformer diagnostics. 
At values >2000 ppm, the H2 level has exceeded IEEE 
Condition 4 (Major event at > 1800 ppm), hence customer 
action should have already occurred within the specified 
measurement range for the M2-X.
