Product Specifications
  • Multi-Functional Custom Engineered Production
    DP-IR+™ operates using infrared optical gas detection technology. This technology incorporates an advanced system with high measurement precision. It features an innovative design engineered to replace instruments utilising traditional flame ionisation systems.

  • Selectivity to Methane (CH4) Gas Only
    Hydrocarbon gases other than methane gas (CH4) are not read by DP-IR+™; therefore, there is no risk of false alarms.

  • Weather-Resistant and Robust Construction
    DP-IR+™ is configured to operate under variable environmental factors (such as cold weather, hot weather). Its durable construction stands out through its operational quality in challenging field environments.

  • Easy Verification (Internal Calibration) Capability
    Self-verification and auto-zero features are available to ensure the instrument is consistently ready for reliable use. Routine verification procedures are carried out via the internal calibration cell before commencing instrument operation.

  • Self-Test Feature
    DP-IR+™ performs continuous self-testing during use. When operational parameters fall outside operational limits, it guides the user on remedial actions by providing audible and on-screen visual alerts.

  • DP-IR+™ features diverse operational applications. Different options are available, such as compatibility with various vehicle types or manual hand-held carry. It independently handles multiple tasks and difficult-to-access terrain, delivering time and budget savings.

    Note: The instrument is compatible with MDTVA* software produced by NOVEL. This enables tracking on Google Maps. Please contact our company for detailed information.
    Measurement and Standards Approach
    Instrument selection for methane/natural gas leak detection; walking survey, remote optical survey, vehicle-mounted mobile survey, gas selectivity, sensitivity, response time, and hazardous area classification must be evaluated jointly. For products utilising TDLAS or IR technology, current manufacturer performance, safety, and field operating documentation should serve as the baseline. Specific certification or regulatory compliance must be verified independently on a product/model basis.
