The ExDetector HC150-M / HC150-K-M is a gas detection and warning system designed to measure and display the concentration of potentially explosive gases and vapours, monitor their presence, and trigger protective measures. It is suitable for Zone 2 hazardous areas and features catalytic combustion as its measurement principle. The system includes two models: HC150-M for wall mounting and HC150-K-M for installation in ventilation ducts. The detector uses a Wheatstones bridge circuit to compensate for environmental influences, and it provides a linear measurement signal of 4 ... 20 mA. It detects combustible gases and vapours, with a measurement range of 0 ... 100 % LEL. The system is equipped with one-man calibration and is suitable for areas with explosion hazards. The HC150-K-M model is specifically designed for ventilation ducts, while the HC150-M is for wall mounting. The system includes accessories such as test gas sets and calibration gases, and it is backed by comprehensive service and support.

Use Cases

  • Measurement and display of the current concentration of potentially explosive gases and vapours
  • Monitoring these gases and warning of their presence
  • Triggering protective measures: technical (measures to prevent the concentration increasing) and organisational (optical and acoustic signals)

Capabilities

  • Measurement range: 0 ... 100 % LEL
  • Measurement principle: catalytic combustion
  • Linear measurement signal 4 ... 20 mA
  • One-man calibration
  • Suitable for areas where there is a Zone 2 explosion hazard
Bieler + Lang GmbH Bieler + Lang GmbH is a German gas detection systems manufacturer, based in Achern, with over 50 years of experience specifically in hydrogen leak detection technology. The company's ExDetector HC 100 and HC 150 sensors use catalytic combustion (pellistor) technology to detect hydrogen leaks as a percentage of the lower explosion limit (%LEL), since hydrogen's odorless, colorless nature and inability to be detected by infrared sensors make specialized detection essential; its addressable and aspirating detectors serve safe areas, ATEX/IECEx explosive zones, and hard-to-access spaces like clean rooms. Bieler + Lang's ExDetector X5 combines up to two sensor heads with contactless one-man calibration and supports detection of over 400 gases, while the GMC 8034 evaluation unit serves as a compact control center for gas detection systems. All devices are developed, manufactured, and calibrated in-house under strict quality standards for industrial, research, and energy technology applications.
