Intelligent IR combustible gas detector is SIL 2
With microprocessor-based intelligence and a true-fail-to-safe design, the advanced IR2100 Infrared Point Gas Detector is now rated SIL 2 suitable
Combining an intelligent microprocessor-based design with highly power-efficient electronic circuitry and long-life batteries, the new mini-G Portable Gas Detector operates over 30 hours on alkaline batteries.
Many time-consuming maintenance and repair operations in hasardous areas require long periods of potential exposure to toxic or combustible gases, as well as oxygen deficiency.
The mini-G's design lets workers continue their efforts until the job is done with complete protection and safety.
Lighting in confined spaces is often problematic as well.
The mini-G Portable Gas Detector's bright blue backlit LCD screen with flip view capability is easily readable.
When worn around the neck or held in the hand, the LCD screen can be flipped 180 degrees for easy viewing in any position at the touch of a glow button.
The mini-G's glow-in-the-dark buttons also make it easy to operate.
Designed for optimum worker safety, mobility and convenience, the new portable mini-G is a multi-gas detector with interchangeable sensors for maximum configuration flexibility in a single device.
Its highly reliable electrochemical cell and catalytic bead sensors provide continuous monitoring of combustible gases, and/or toxic gases and/or oxygen deficiency.
Developed to meet dust-proof and water-resistant requirements, the mini-G's electronics are protected against moisture damage.
Providing continuous status and alarming, the mini-G Portable Gas Detector can be configured with one to three gas sensors.
Four gases can be detected when a Bi-tox sensor is installed.
The mini-G has programmable alarm set points for two programmable gas concentration levels per sensor-- in addition to TWA (time-weighted average), and STEL (short-term exposure limit) alarms.
With a built-in sensor life indicator, the user always has a status indication of remaining sensor life for added protection.
The mini-G Portable Gas Detector is easy to set-up and operate.
When hasardous conditions are present, the mini-G provides three alarms: audio, visual (flashing LEDs) and vibration.
The mini-G warns of oxygen deficiency at the 0-25 percent by volume level and detects combustible gas at 0-100 percent LEL.
It detects carbon monoxide at 0-500 ppm, chlorine at 0-20 ppm, hydrogen sulphide at 0-100 ppm and sulphur dioxide at 0-20 ppm.
With its flexible multi-gas design, advanced safety, power and lighting features, as well as ease-of-use, the mini-G sets a new performance standard in portable gas detectors.
The mini-G portable detector is available directly from General Monitors with 24-hour fast ship delivery.
A wide range of accessories is now available via the company's e-commerce site, including manual sample pump, battery charger and carrying case.
