Product features
- Failsafe infrared technology and low cost of ownership
- The superior performance characteristics of infrared technology (such as poison immune and "fail-safe" operation) have been known and valued in gas detection for many years. The Dräger PIR 3000 now offers these performance benefits more affordably, combined with low maintenance costs and a long life time of more than 15 years, cost of ownership is significantly reduced.
- Suitable for the harshest conditions
- Based on its exceptional product quality, the Dräger PIR 3000 offers high reliability and excellent measuring performance, in relation to long-term stability. With GRP junction box and 316 stainless steel enclosure, a temperature range of - 40 to + 65 °C (- 40 to + 149 °F) and heated measurement optics driving off compensation from the lens, the PIR 3000 is suitable for all the worlds climate zones
- Smart and flexible
- The Dräger PIR 3000 offers a gas library with three gas categories: methane, propane and ethylene. Therefore, nearly all hydrocarbons are detectable. In addition, temperature-compensated linearisation curves allow for signal output for individual substances. Through optional accessories – e.g. the process adapter or the duct mount set – a multitude of measuring tasks can be performed professionally.
- Performance features
-
- Temperature-compensated and non-imaging optics
- Gas library with 3 gas categories: Methane, propane and ethylene (typical of most hydrocarbons), performance approved in accordance with IEC 60079
- Performance approval (in accordance with IEC 60079) for 13 further substances
- Dirt and dust protection through hydrophobic splash guard
- Analog 4 to 20 mA output signal (universal)
- Specified temperature range from - 40 °C to + 65 °C / - 40 °F to + 149 °F
- Unrestricted usage in humid atmospheres
- Hermetically sealed 316 stainless steel enclosure
- Slim enclosure design for confined areas of use
- Long maintenance interval thanks to minimum long-term drift
- No moving parts
- Typical life time: 15 years
- Ex approvals for worldwide use: ATEX, IECEx, UL, CSA
- Dust ex approval for zone 21 and 22
- Ingress Protection: IP 65, IP 66 and IP 67

Literature
List of detectable gases and vapours.
For over 70 years, Dräger has been one of the technology leaders in gas detection.
Explosion hazards mostly arise from flammable gases and vapours. Instead of avoiding their ignition by explosion protection measures it may be preferable to detect them before they become ignitable.
When there’s danger in the air ... this can quickly pose a high risk to humans, the environment, and all types of property and systems. Recognize the threat before it is too late.
Safety Instrumented Systems are used to reduce the risk for the protection of people, plants, and environment.
