Open Path Gas Detectors

RC Systems’ Quasar 900 open path gas detector utilizes the very latest in open path IR technology to detect a wide range of hydrocarbon gases, including alkanes (methane to hexane) and ethylene. These units can be custom-tailored to your high-risk installation.
 
The Quasar 900 employs “spectral fingerprint” analysis of the atmosphere using the DOAS (differential optical absorption spectroscopy) technique to deliver reliable results in extremely harsh environments where dust, fog, rain, snow, or vibration can cause a high reduction of signal.

Benefits of Open Path Gas Detectors

• Wider coverage area
• Most likely method to pick up any leak
• Very high speed of response
• No unrevealed failure modes
• Beam block warning
• Detector location is less critical
• Size of gas hazard indicated
