Impact Portable Multi-Gas Detector Benefits From New Infra Red

Impact Portable Multi-Gas Detector Benefits From New Infra Red: "Impact Portable Multi-Gas Detector Benefits From New Infra Red Sensor Technology
12/12/2005


The Impact multi-gas detector from Honeywell Zellweger Analytics now benefits from an innovative new Infra Red (IR) replaceable sensor to further expand the best-selling portable unit�s gas sensing capability.



The Impact IR system uses Impact�s unique replaceable sensor cartridge concept to house the IR sensor alongside three other toxic and oxygen deficiency sensors. Operators can now interchange cartridges to detect a variety of gases, especially those best monitored with the poison resistant, solid-state optical sensor technology.



IR allows the Impact to measure Carbon Dioxide (CO2), providing a stable, drift-free long life sensor method to detect CO2 in such diverse applications as waste water treatment, drinks bottling, fire suppression, leak detection and other industrial monitoring applications. Methane and natural gas are now also detectable by IR, making it ideal for gas industries including offshore drilling, gas transmission and utility companies, and the sensor can also be configured to measure hydrocarbons at % LEL or % Vol levels for a variety of industrial monitoring applications.



IR sensing also works in the absence of oxygen so the multi gas Impact Pro can now, enable an operator to briefly monitor prior to entry for leaks, purging efficiency or hull integrity in container vessels or pipes where there is reduced oxygen content or where an inert gas blanket has been laid over a combustible product. The multi sensor array is not intended for continuous monitoring in inert atmospheres as this may affect the accuracy of the other electrochemical cells."
