1.4 Plug-in Replaceable Sensor
The Detcon IR combustible hydrocarbon gas sensor is a unique and miniaturized single-package optical design
that generates enough internal heat to prevent condensation. It is packaged as a true plug-in replaceable type
sensor with over-sized gold-plated connections that eliminate corrosion problems. It can be accessed and
replaced in the field very easily by releasing the locking screw and unthreading the housing bottom. The
Detcon IR combustible hydrocarbon gas sensor and the CO
2
gas sensor have an infinite shelf life, and are
supported by a 5-year pro-rated warranty. The expected service life is 5 years or greater.
