Industry-proven open path gas detection for line of sight applications.

SafEye Quasar Series of open path gas detectors (OPGD) are the highest standard for reliable and rapid detection of fugitive gas releases. They help form a comprehensive protection strategy employing point and open path gas detection.

Spectrex invented the xenon flash lamp design that revolutionized the open-path gas detection market, which, until then, was plagued by false alarms due to the drawbacks of the previous designs. Now, open path detectors complement the use of individual point detectors, take executive action and offer many significant benefits.

SafEye Quasar 900 – Combustible Hydrocarbon Detection

Safeye Quasar 900 quickly and sensitively detects a wide range of hydrocarbon gases – including alkanes (methane to hexane) and ethylene with a minimum detectable level is 0.15 LEL.m. No need for any manual adjustment or standard test gas, due to the built-in calibration of the SafEye Quasar 900.

 

SafEye Quasar 950 & 960 – Ammonia and Hydrogen Sulfide Detection

SafEye Quasar 950 delivers rapid detection of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gas while SafEye Quasar 960 provides quick detection of Ammonia (NH3). Both instruments can detect gas in ranges up to 200 feet (60 meters) and due to their inherent stability and sensitivity, the minimum detectable level is 50 PPM.m.
