Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is an open-path detector?
It measures gas along a line (an IR beam) between a transmitter and a receiver — detecting a gas cloud crossing that path, covering a large area with a single installation.
What is its range?
From 5 to 200 m depending on the version (short-, medium- and long-range).
How fast does it respond?
The T90 response time is under 3 seconds.
