Sensirion A2L Refrigerant Sensors

Sensirion A2L Refrigerant Sensors are Refrigerant Detection Systems (RDS) designed for HVACR applications. The Sensirion A2L sensors operate on the thermal conductivity principle and include a dual dry-contact relay output to trigger a blower, shut off the load, or alert a control board. An LED status indicator provides quick visual feedback for easy installation. With fast response times and multi-refrigerant calibration, the devices support A2L refrigerants, making them ideal for residential and commercial systems.

The Sensirion A2L Refrigerant Sensors meet industry standards, like UL60355-2-40, and offer dual calibration for R454B and R32 in HVAC, plus triple calibration for R454A, R454C, and R455A in refrigeration systems.

Features

  • Advanced TC technology, refrigeration equipment detects refrigerant leaks quickly and reliably, minimizing false alarms and operational disruptions
  • UL compliance meets UL 60335-2-40 ed. 4.0 standards and the upcoming ed. 4.1 standards with self-monitoring capabilities, functioning as a refrigerant sensor or a complete detection system
  • Long lifetime operates maintenance-free for over 15 years with factory lifetime calibration and no need for re-zeroing
  • Dual color status light provides clear and immediate status indication for installer convenience
  • Dual dry-contact relay switch output integrates seamlessly with modern HVAC systems using A2L refrigerants, eliminating the need for an external mitigation board
  • RS-485 serial interface enables easy communication and data transmission, along with the relay output, enhancing system testing and design processes
  • Wide refrigerant compatibility supports R32, R454A, R454B, R454C, and R455 refrigerants, and is resistant to refrigerant poisoning
  • 300-11631-06 A2L sensor cable required (purchase separately)
