The Polytron 5720 belongs to the Dräger Polytron 5000 series. All transmitters in this series have the same design and user interface. This allows for uniform operation with reduced training and maintenance requirements. The backlit LCD display shows status information clearly with quick access to functions, using a non-intrusive magnetic wand. The gas concentration and measurement unit are displayed during normal operation. Coloured LEDs (green, yellow and red) provide additional alarm and status information.

The Dräger Polytron 5720 can also be supplied with three integrated relays on request. This enables you to use it as an independent gas detection system with two adjustable concentration alarms and one fault alarm. Audio alarms, signal lights or similar devices can thus be controlled locally without an additional cable between the transmitter and central controller.

The Polytron 5720 features a Class I, Div. 1-rated explosion proof enclosure made from aluminum or stainless steel, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. A protection type “e” version includes a convenient docking station enabling installation in hazardous atmospheres without running conduit (where approved).

An available remote sensor condulet housing allows the PIR sensor to be installed up to 30 metres away from the Polytron transmitter. A special Flow Cell accessory allows one person to perform the full calibration of a remote sensor from the transmitter.
