| New remote hand-held detection device from Crowcon  The Laser Methane, a remote hand-held detection device from Crowcon, delivers accurate methane surveys without requiring direct contact with methane gas, allowing concentrations in parts per million to be detected from a safe distance. The lightweight Laser Methane is highly selective and will not give false readings, even when other gases are present. It can detect methane at concentrations between 10 - 10,000 ppm-m up to 490 feet away in less than 0.1 seconds, even through glass. The unit can also be fixed in a permanent position to scan a given area.The portable, compact device comprises a single gun unit with no additional parts or battery packs, making it easy to carry and operate in the field. It has a built-in test cell which self-tests the instrument at switch-on and during use. When methane is detected, the basic unit's LED light and buzzer give visual and audible signals. There is also an upgrade option with an LCD display of actual gas readings in a graphical format which may be saved to a built-in SD memory card and downloaded to a PC; the card is standard with the 06A Model. Accessories include a spare battery pack and charger, soft carry case, hand and shoulder straps and earphones. An optional scope is available for long-range targeting of the unit. The Laser Methane conforms to US laser regulations 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
