New Portable Detector for Flamable Gases

The μGAZEX™ developed by Gazomat™ (France)* provides users with personal protection in potentially explosive atmospheres. ATEX group 1 and group 2 approved, this multifunction explosivity meter device complies with all the European safety standards. The μGAZEX™ is available in four versions for use across a wide range of applications:

• Explosivity meter – 1 measurement scale : 0-100% LEL
• Explosivity meter -catharometer – 2 scales : 0-100% LEL and 0-100% Vol. Gas                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               • Explosivity meter – 3 scales – 0-10.000 ppm – 0-100% LEL and 0-100% Vol. Gas
• Methane level meter – 1 scale – 0-4.4% CH4- for use in mines                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             • Very easy to use, with its single control key, the operator needs only to turn the unit on and off. He can also display the maximum values by simply pressing the control key. With the explosivity meter-catharometer version,   the switching between the scales is automatic.
• The detector comes in with a powerful triple alert system : audible, visual and vibration alarms.
• The fast-responding sensor is remarkable for its high stability on extented exposure to gas.
• Ultra-light and extra-compact in design, the detector will conveniently accompany operators in their everyday work, for a maximum level of safety.
• The Li-Ion battery provides up to 15 hours of continuous operation and greatly contributes to the extra-light weight of the device.
• The double-protection elastometer housing with IP 67 protection, resistant to dust and brief immersion in water, provides greater durability to the detector for use in extremely harsh environments.
• The μGAZEX™ comes in with a multi-support fastening clip, a power supply unit and a charger. Very convenient, the latter can also be used to test the detector via a USB cable connected to a PC.
• A whole set of accessories are available on option : a test kit, a sampling system and a multi-point charger assembly designed for up to 10 units. The latter option will be of special interest to companies operating a large number of detectors; and last but not least, the detector is maintainable.
