10 years of improved safety

With more than 14,000 units on the field, the BM 25, from 3M Gas & Flame Detection, is a proven in use, highly durable unit resistant to harsh environment. It was designed to detect one to five gases for mobile or temporary work applications, team protection, area surveillance, or places where fixed detection systems are not suitable.

The BM 25 packs the benefits of a fixed system area monitor into a rugged, user-friendly and transportable instrument.

Powered by a NiMH battery pack, the BM 25W offers up to 135 hours of continuous run time. Standard features include STEL and TWA values and data logging. An intrinsically safe trickle charger is also available for long-term area monitoring in classified zones.

Available as an option, the radio communication allows several BM 25 devices to communicate on the same network or to send information wirelessly to a controller.

If a BM 25 does not respond or if the network is split, then it is possible to continue to work by the time of the restoration of the network. All safety functions remain effective. When the obstacle is gone, the communication resumes automatically.

The BM 25 is durable and versatile. It is suitable for a wide range of industries including refineries and pharmaceutical production. With a range of 31 gases that can be detected, the BM 25 is the perfect solution for many applications such as turnaround work sites, rig overhauls and fence-line surveillance
