New Infrared Sensor for Multi-Gas Monitor

Industrial Scientific (France) is pleased to announce that a new infrared sensor is now available for use with the BM25 multi-gas area monitor. The XP IR sensor further expands the unit’s wide range of gas detection capabilities.

With this sensor, the BM25 can detect from one to five gases with interchangeable “smart” sensors for combustible gases, oxygen and toxic gases including CO, H2S, SO2, NO2, Cl2, ClO2, NH3, PH3, AsH3, SiH4, ETO, NO, HCl, HCN and CO2.

IR sensors do not react with poisons known for damaging catalytic sensors, such as silicone, H2S, chlorinated solvents and more. Compared to a catalytic sensor, the XP IR sensor has a longer lifetime and carries a 3-year warranty.

The BM25 packs the benefits of a fixed system area monitor into an easily transportable, yet rugged system. Designed for mobile or temporary applications in a variety of industries, the unit is particularly useful for shut downs, hot work or for use in places where fixed detection systems are not suitable.
