Dräger Polytron® 6100 EC WL — wireless fixed detector for toxic gases and oxygen
The Dräger Polytron® 6100 EC WL is a wireless, intrinsically safe electrochemical transmitter for continuous monitoring of toxic gas and oxygen concentrations. It transmits readings wirelessly (ISA100 Wireless™ or WirelessHART®) and is battery-powered, providing up to 24 months of continuous operation — a flexible, cost-effective solution for expanding and upgrading installations as well as for new projects where cabling is too costly or technically difficult. SIL2-compliant, it detects more than 140 gases thanks to proven DrägerSensor units, with signal transmission over distances of up to 500 m.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What sets the Polytron 6100 EC WL apart?
It is the wireless version — it transmits readings by radio (ISA100 or WirelessHART) and runs on a battery for up to 24 months, so it requires no cabling or mains power.
How far does it transmit the signal?
Up to 500 m; with a repeater function the range can be extended and redundant communication paths can be built.
Does it meet functional safety requirements?
Yes — in the ISA100 standard with the PROFIsafe protocol the device meets SIL2-level requirements.
