2. © MSA 2006 [Your Safety. Our Mission.] ORION ®plus IR Detector [ Overview ] Extra bright LEDs Fits comfortably in hand Separate information display Extremely robust construction High contrast, large display Simple operation

3. © MSA 2006 [Your Safety. Our Mission.] ORION ®plus IR Detector [ What’s new?]  More IR sensor options  More toxic sensors options  New communication software  Instrument also available without IR sensor

4. © MSA 2006 [Your Safety. Our Mission.] ORION ®plus IR Detector [ How does it work?]  Our dual-beam IR sensor  Does NOT detect H2!! IR Source Window Detector Gas inlet Gas outlet The sapphire window protects the source and detector against corrosive gases (Cl 2, NH 3, etc.). The source emits energy which is measured by the detector. Detector measures the energy not absorbed by target gas at a specific wave length.

5. © MSA 2006 [Your Safety. Our Mission.] The need for IR CO 2 …  CO 2 measurement by O 2 displacement? The answer is NO!  Facts:  CO 2 is heavier than oxygen  TWA value CO 2 = 5000 ppm (0.5% Vol)  0.5% CO 2 = 0.1% O 2 displacement (20.8% of Air)  O 2 alarm = 19.5%  20.8 - 19.5 = 1.3% O 2 * 100/20.8 = 6.2% Air  19.5% O 2 = 6.2% CO 2 (= 62,000 ppm)  When O 2 alarm triggers, CO 2 concentration can be lethal (>62,000 ppm) in the breathing zone!

20. © MSA 2006 [Your Safety. Our Mission.] ORION ®plus IR Detector [more FAQs]  Can an ‘exotic’ sensor or IR LEL be installed in the existing ORIONplus?  No, too cumbersome and costly  Why is the IR sensor different?  Protects the lamp and sensor against corrosive gases (sapphire window). Life time of IR sensor will decrease dramatically without this protection  Why is the inlet changed?  Current inlet reacts with corrosive gases

21. © MSA 2006 [Your Safety. Our Mission.] ORION ®plus IR Detector [more FAQs]  Will the IR LEL detect Hydrogen?  No, H2 is ‘invisible’ to IR light (no absorption)  Can the 20L response factors be applied on the IR sensor?  No, the IR technology works differently, is more specific to the gas  Why would I need 50 Vol% CO2??  This is mainly used in the process industry
