Monitoring application

Portable Gas Detection for Personal Safety

Portable gas detectors monitor selected gases and provide local alarms for workers in industrial environments. Match the gas configuration, measuring ranges and sampling method to the task and site conditions.

Personal monitoring and local alarms

Personal monitors are carried through changing work areas and can provide local alarms when selected gas conditions are detected. The required gases and alarm response should follow the work activity and site safety procedure.

Gas configuration and sampling

A multigas detector can monitor several selected gases in one portable instrument. Start with the hazards identified for the task, then review the measuring range for each gas, the sampling method and how many gases must be monitored simultaneously.

Ingress protection, battery runtime, data logging and communication options also affect how well an instrument fits a shift or field workflow.

Site conditions and technical documents

Share the target gases, measuring ranges, number of gases to be monitored simultaneously, expected shift duration, environmental conditions, data needs and required project documents. This gives technical sales a clearer basis for recommending a configuration.
