Chapter 1: Overview
1.1
1.11.1
1.1 Introduction
MSF6-1000 portable infrared leakage detector of SF
6
is mainly applied for leak
detection in power industry for GIS and SF
6
gas insulated circuit breaker and other
related products. It adopts imported SF
6
gas infrared sensor and unique data
processing method. The detector has high sensitivity, high reaction speed, and good
stability, as well as functions including zero drift automatic correction, and sound and
light alarm, etc.
MSF6-1000 portable infrared leakage detector of SF
6
adopts the handheld and
compact appearance design which facilitates carrying and detecting the SF
6
gas
leakage on site.
Lithium battery supply the power and users can recharge it by USB or exchange
adapter.

1.3 Detection Principle
Portable infrared leakage detector of SF
6
detects and analyzes SF
6
gas, by
adopting the principle of infrared absorption spectrum. Infrared absorption spectrum,
also known as infrared spectrophotometry, achieves qualitative and quantitative
analysis of material, by making use of the property of material of selective absorption
for infrared electromagnetic radiation. When light radiation is transmitting in the air,
gas molecules will absorb and scatter light radiation, and finally attenuates. Therefore,
using the absorption characteristic of a gas in a particular wave band will realize
detection of the gas.
SF
6
gas has extremely strong absorption capacity in the infrared wave band
(center wavelength 10.55µm), SF
6
infrared sensor is to realize quantitative
detection of SF
6
gas, by detecting the absorption of SF
6
gas for infrared light in this
wave band. Detection principle of SF
6
gas infrared sensor is shown in Diagram 1-1,
The transmitter inside the sensor emits a certain wavelength (10.55µm) of infrared
light. Then, the light is irradiated to the mirror at the end of the sensor and reflected.
Finally, the light is collected by the receiver. The concentration of SF
6
gas will be
obtained, after the collected light is processed in the electronic measurement system,
according to the relationship between intensity change of this wavelength of infrared
light and the concentration of SF
6
gas.

1.4 Application Place
I. The instrument is special products for detecting the SF
6
gas leak (without
Explosion-proof Certification), widely used in many occasions of using SF
6
gas
such as the electric power industry, metallurgy industry, petroleum chemical
industry etc.
II. Working environmental requirements: environmental temperature -20
℃ ℃
~ + 60 ,
humidity 0 ~ 95% RH (no condensation)
Warning
Due to the mirror inside the measurement sensitive components, once the
mirror is defiled, the accuracy of measurement will be affected greatly,
so ban to use the product in dirty harsh environments.
