GasAlertMax
H2S, CO, O2, LEL
Four Gas Detector with
Internal Sampling Pump
GasAlertMax provides extraordinary
cost of ownership advantages.
Training and maintenance costs
are minimized through automated
calibration, internal plug-in sampling
pump, long-life VersaPak battery
power (available in local stores)
and simple, one-button control.
GasAlertMax is powered by two
advanced microcontrollers and
features plug-in electrochemical
and catalytic sensors. High-output
audible/visual alarms provide
instant notifi cation.
The large alphanumeric LCD shows
real-time gas concentrations and
the instrument’s status at all times. A
full-function self-test verifi es sensor,
circuitry and battery integrity and
activates the audible/visual alarms
each time the detector is activated.
GasAlertMax clearly advises the
hazard present—Low, High, TWA
and STEL multi-gas alarm. Recorded
TWA, STEL and Peak exposures can
be displayed on demand.
GasAlertMax satisfi es the OSHA
safety regulation CFR1910.146
(Permit Required - Confi ned
Space Entry).
