Product features

Easy to install
The enclosure provides two mounting holes. For easy wiring, bezel and electronics are one unit, and can be pulled out. The field cable is fed through a sealed conduit, then terminated in a pluggable connector on the printed circuit board.
One man calibration
All setup and maintenance is performed without opening the transmitter or declassifying the hazardous area. Tapping a magnetic wand at the three buttons through the window of the instrument gives full access to the menu and the calibration procedure. Eliminating the need for an additional handheld terminal.
DrägerSensor technology
The large DragerSensor size gives them their renowned long life. The built-in sensor data memory containing all the relevant gas and calibration information, together with on board temperature and pressure compensation gives the DragerSensor its unsurpassed measurement performance. This also allows the Polytron TX to accept pre-calibrated sensors, with minimal operator intervention, the Dräger Polytron TX is a virtually maintenance free transmitter.
