Portable Multi Gas Detector

A multi-gas detector can measure concentrations of many different explosive gases, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), freons, and many toxic gases. Compact in size for low weight but at a higher cost than a single gas detector , it offers much more detailed features. It can archive gas concentrations or alarms and calculate average and limit values ​​of exposure or traceability of events.

It may include accessories such as a gas sampling pump for access authorization measurements or leak searches in confined spaces (sewers, manholes, tanks, etc.).

It is one of the most widely used portable 4-gas detectors in the industrial sector (metallurgy, steel production, petrochemical), public services (construction, drilling) and water treatment sector. Offering good value for money, this device simultaneously detects explosives (natural gas, LPG, hydrocarbons, alcohols and solvents), H2S, CO and O2 deficiency. We recommend performing a daily crash test before each use to check that the sensors and device are working correctly. This device continues to be a favorite in the sanitation and tight space working industry. It is also recommended (and mandatory) as part of CATEC training (certificate of proficiency in working in confined spaces) to protect against the following risks:

• Asphyxia, anoxia or hypoxia: temporary or permanent lack of oxygen
• Poisoning: Inhaling or absorbing toxic substances such as hydrogen sulfide or carbon monoxide
• Explosion and fire: Flammable methane can cause fire and explosion

They are also called field monitors or area monitors, which are larger in size than traditional portable gas detectors. These are field protection devices, not personal protective equipment. Therefore, field monitors provide accurate gas detection within a defined environment. Workers can move safely within the gridded area (see ” LENS Wireless technology “).

Almost all of our products that detect four or more gases are available with the “2-year maintenance included” option. This innovative concept includes calibration and periodic sensor maintenance for two years from the date of purchase (about a hundred euros for a conventional 4-gas device). At the end of these two years, it will be possible to renew this service for another two years and so on…

In addition to this option, companies should regularly perform on-site crash tests to check that the detector is working correctly before each new use, especially when operating in tight spaces.
