Smart Control 300

The SmartControl 300 is asta­tio­na­ry NDIR gas detec­tor spe­ci­al­ly deve­lo­ped for moni­to­ring thres­hold con­cen­tra­ti­ons in various gas mix­tures. It is desi­gned for accu­ra­te mea­su­re­ment of high con­cen­tra­ti­on ran­ges – ide­al for moni­to­ring sol­vent-con­tai­ning gas mix­tures in sur­face tre­at­ment, indus­tri­al pro­ces­ses or sol­vent moni­to­ring.

The SmartControl 300 is a sta­tio­na­ry NDIR mul­ti-gas detec­tor deve­lo­ped for the pre­cise moni­to­ring of gas mix­tures with high con­cen­tra­ti­ons. It relia­bly moni­tors sol­vent-con­tai­ning gases such as per­chlo­roethy­le­ne, KWL and fre­ons and is ide­al for indus­tri­al pro­ces­ses whe­re con­ti­nuous gas moni­to­ring is cru­cial. Typical are­as of appli­ca­ti­on include emis­si­on moni­to­ring of sol­vent-con­tai­ning gases during sur­face tre­at­ments, pro­cess con­trols in che­mi­cal plants and relia­ble imple­men­ta­ti­on of explo­si­on pro­tec­tion requi­re­ments through time­ly war­ning when limit values are excee­ded. Thanks to its robust design and inte­gra­ted pres­su­re com­pen­sa­ti­on, the Smart Control 300 is ide­al for relia­ble use in deman­ding envi­ron­ments with fluc­tua­ting ope­ra­ting con­di­ti­ons.

FAQ

What is the SmartControl 300 and what func­tions does it per­form?

The SmartControl 300 is a sta­tio­na­ry gas moni­to­ring device based on NDIR tech­no­lo­gy. It mea­su­res high con­cen­tra­ti­ons of sol­vent-con­tai­ning gas mix­tures and moni­tors thres­hold values in indus­tri­al pro­ces­ses. The device is ide­al for appli­ca­ti­ons whe­re pro­cess safe­ty and pre­cise gas moni­to­ring are para­mount.

Which gases and con­cen­tra­ti­ons can be mea­su­red with the SmartControl 300?

The SmartControl 300 is pri­ma­ri­ly desi­gned for moni­to­ring gas mix­tures con­tai­ning sol­vents. Substances such as per­chlo­roe­the­ne, KWL and fre­ons can be detec­ted as stan­dard - other gas types can be inte­gra­ted on request. Thanks to the NDIR mea­su­ring method and inte­gra­ted cor­rec­tion func­tions, a mea­su­re­ment accu­ra­cy of less than 5 % of the mea­su­red value (depen­ding on the sub­s­tance) is gua­ran­teed. The con­cen­tra­ti­ons that can be mea­su­red also depend on the sub­s­tance.

How does the SmartControl 300 con­tri­bu­te to effi­ci­en­cy and safe­ty in indus­tri­al pro­ces­ses?

  • Process safe­ty: Critical gas mix­tu­re con­cen­tra­ti­ons are detec­ted at an ear­ly stage thanks to pre­cise thres­hold value moni­to­ring.
  • Cost-effec­ti­ve­ness: The relia­ble mea­su­ring accu­ra­cy and fast respon­se time (approx. 20 s) mini­mi­ze down­ti­mes and pre­vent cos­t­ly pro­cess dis­rup­ti­ons.
  • Investment pro­tec­tion: The high long-term sta­bi­li­ty and robust design ensu­re low main­ten­an­ce requi­re­ments and extend the ser­vice life of the mea­su­ring device.

What are the dimen­si­ons of the SmartControl 300?

  • Dimensions: Width 310 mm x height 133 mm x depth 221 mm
  • Measuring method: NDIR sin­gle-beam method with hea­ted cuvet­te (50 °C)
  • Measuring points: 1 mea­su­ring point as stan­dard, expan­da­ble to up to 3 chan­nels
  • Response time: approx. 20 s; full spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons achie­ved in approx. 30 minu­tes
    These tech­ni­cal data make the SmartControl 300 a com­pact but powerful gas moni­to­ring sys­tem for indus­tri­al use.

How can the SmartControl 300 be inte­gra­ted into exis­ting sys­tems?

The SmartControl 300 offers a wide ran­ge of inter­faces for seam­less inte­gra­ti­on:

  • Communication inter­faces: RS232, Profibus DP, Ethernet Modbus TCP, Ethernet IP and Profinet
  • Digital inputs and out­puts: Multiple digi­tal inputs, "rea­dy" and "fault" relay out­puts, expan­da­ble to up to 8 out­puts)
  • Optional ana­log out­puts: Up to 8 gal­va­ni­cal­ly iso­la­ted out­puts (4-20 mA, free­ly con­fi­gura­ble)

Can the Smart Control 300 be used in ATEX zones?

The Smart Control 300 is not desi­gned for use in ATEX zones. However, our experts often find solu­ti­ons to install the mea­su­ring device out­side the Ex zone and still use it effec­tively. For appli­ca­ti­ons in poten­ti­al­ly explo­si­ve atmo­sphe­res, we can imple­ment a cus­to­mer-spe­ci­fic pro­ject on request.

How quick and easy is it to com­mis­si­on the SmartControl 300?

The device has a maxi­mum heat-up time of 120 seconds at room tem­pe­ra­tu­re(20 °C). It is then rea­dy for ope­ra­ti­on and can car­ry out mea­su­re­ments.

Simple ope­ra­ti­on: An intui­ti­ve 2.5-inch touch dis­play (128 × 64 pixels, black/white) with clear LED sta­tus indi­ca­tors enables user-fri­end­ly menu navi­ga­ti­on and fast con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on.
This redu­ces the instal­la­ti­on effort and enables a quick pro­duc­tion start.

Does the Smart Control 300 requi­re a lot of main­ten­an­ce?

No, the Smart Control 300 is very low-main­ten­an­ce. The auto­ma­tic zero point cor­rec­tion and the absence of cali­bra­ti­on gases during ope­ra­ti­on mini­mi­ze down­ti­mes and signi­fi­cant­ly redu­ce main­ten­an­ce cos­ts.

How easy is it to ope­ra­te the mea­su­ring device?

The Smart Control 300 is equip­ped with a 128 x 64 touch dis­play for intui­ti­ve ope­ra­ti­on. The four sta­tus LEDs show important infor­ma­ti­on at a glan­ce.

Is the device sui­ta­ble for long-term ope­ra­ti­on?

Absolute. The Smart Control 300 has been spe­ci­al­ly deve­lo­ped for con­ti­nuous ope­ra­ti­on in indus­tri­al envi­ron­ments. Its robust design and low-main­ten­an­ce com­pon­ents make it ide­al for 24/7 ope­ra­ti­on.
