The IR5500 Open Path Infrared Detector is the product of choice for continuous monitoring of flammable gas leaks over large open areas.  It offers the benefits of early detection with its high sensitivity to ppm level gas concentrations.  MSA recently revised two resources to help with the fine points associated with installing and aligning this product.  

The IR5500 Open Path Gas Detector Installation Guide highlights factors to consider when selecting location, power and wiring requirements, environmental considerations, and start-up and warm-up procedures.

The IR5500 Open Path Gas Detector Alignment Guide highlights necessary tools and steps to complete before starting alignment, descriptive instructions with easy-to-read diagrams, and PcT Mode instructions for models built after July 2016.
