Multi-Gas Detector

The multi-gas detector is the perfect tool for emergency response and fire service professionals who regularly enter confined spaces not designed for human occupancy. These areas may contain flammable and toxic gases which are dangerous when exposed to humans and could potentially explode or be inhaled leading to catastrophic damage and death. Often these environments can be difficult to assess and require fast, clear decisions in high-pressure situations.

The most popular multi-gas monitors offer a combination of sensors to detect a variety of dangerous gases and vapors, including oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and combustible gas. The monitors then convert the sensor output into a reading on the instrument display which alerts users when they are at risk of exposure to hazardous conditions. The instruments also feature loud alarms, customizable action messages and local/remote monitoring so that both the team on-site and safety managers off-site can take rapid, informed actions.

Versatile Safety Solutions: Exploring the Functions of Multi-Gas Detectors

When selecting a multi-gas detector, it is important to ensure the monitor has the mix of sensors required for your onsite situation and to check that there are no cross interfering gases which could lead to false/incorrect alarms. If in doubt always seek advice from the manufacturer/authorised distributor who will be able to assist with the specification of the right product for your application.

Some monitors have the ability to be stored in a docking station when not in use which will automatically charge them and perform a bump test by exposing the sensors to a known quantity of calibration gas to ensure they still function properly and are accurately detecting the correct concentration of gas. This eliminates the need to manually charge and calibrate each individual device and makes it easy for teams to pick up their equipment ready to go for the day.
