Edinburgh Instruments manufacture a new low cost series of infrared gas Sensors for detecting and measuring a wide range of gases, including CO2 and various hydrocarbons
A common humane method of killing the affected birds is to place them in a sealed area and introduce carbon dioxide (CO2) for a given amount of time.
Accurate, monitoring and control of CO2 levels is essential in order to ensure the most humane treatment of infected stock.
Edinburgh Instruments have supplied numerous 'Guardian Plus' gas monitors for this application, to both measure and directly control the CO2 Levels used.
The 'Guardian Plus' series provide high accuracy detection and measurement of C02 or CH4 gases, where measurement ranges between 0-3000ppm and 0-100% by volume are required.
Suitable for a wide range of requirements, these wall mounted units can detect gases from sampling points up to 30 metres away, using the integral sampling system.
Incorporated is a four digit LCD, with alarm set points in a tough plastic enclosure that has an IP54 rating, protecting against the ingress of particulates and water.
This innovative product measures 267 x 258 x 148mm and weighs 2.5Kg: it is both easy to install and requires the minimum of maintenance. Request a free brochure from Edinburgh Instruments ...
