RDS R290

The Senseair Refrigerant Detection System R290 is a leak detection sensor module for HVAC applications using the low GWP refrigerant R290 (propane). It is engineered for precise, reliable detection in demanding environments and ease of installation.

Defining attributes

Fast response time
High accuracy
Wide temperature range
Maintenance-free
Compliant with IEC & UL 60335-2-40
Factory calibrated
Long term stability
Long lifetime
Immunity to poisoning
LED-based light source

Engineered with a standardized connector pinout and robust IP66 and IP67 enclosure, the RDS R290 offers flexible power supply options and multiple output configurations—simplifying installation and integration into diverse systems.

A protective housing with a high-quality gas diffusion vent safeguards the sensor element from dust and condensation. Thanks to the built-in heating element, the Senseair RDS R290 can operate in cold environments. Using Modbus protocol, the measured data is digitally transmitted to the control system. A digital output signal is activated when the gas concentration reaches a configurable threshold, and the output can be set as a digital PWM signal or an analogue linear output reflecting the measured concentration.
