GAS DETECTION

BW TECHNOLOGIES GAS/ALERT/MAX

MULTI-GAS DETECTORS

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
notification.

The large alphanumeric LCD shows real-time gas concen­trations and the instrument’s status at all times. A full-func­tion self-test verifies 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 satisfies the OSHA safety regulation
CFR1910.146 (Permit Required - Confined Space Entry).

BW TECHNOLOGIES AUTOMATIC TEST STATIONS

Automatic Full-Function Test
Stations

For Zero-maintenance and single gas detectors

Safe and Automatic

Test Stations are engineered for ease-of-use—
simply insert the detector into the test well and
press the red button. The station first verifies
that the detector is installed, then tests the
sensor response time, speed of response,
alarm activation. Watch the color coded
PASS/FAIL advice LED’s as the test quickly
progresses. If all tests are successful, the green
PASS light activates to confirm the detector is
ready for use.

Convenient and Economical

When a test is initiated, the solenoid automati­cally releases test gas to the detector. The flow
of gas shuts off automatically when the test is
complete, preventing any waste of test gas and
protecting personnel form exposure to the gas.
The AC adapter allows an unlimited number of
units to be tested without the need for battery
replacement.

Test Stations can be conveniently hung on a
wall to be conspicuous reminder for individuals
to test their detectors before entering a poten­tially hazardous area.

SCOTT®SCOUT®GAS DETECTOR

Whether it’s downtime from a short battery life or a component
failure, a non-working instrument can cost you. That’s why the Scott
Instruments Product Development Team has designed the Scout®
with features that help assure continued reliability and durability and,
in the event of a failure, fast repair time at lower costs.

Scott’s modular pump and component assemblies will minimize

downtime. Unlike many other portable detectors, should a failure of

a pump occur, the Scout® can continue to be operated with a hand
aspirator or a new pump can be simply plugged in. In fact, all Scout’s
major components are modular and designed for simple, fast
replacement in the field.

Scout’s advanced battery management technology makes every second count. Scout’s exclusive ABMT™

feature provides up to 50 hours (30 with pump) of runtime and, with the wireless charger, fast re-charge time. Unlike
many other similar instruments, Scout’s battery pack is simple to release without having to unscrew or remove
components.

Intelligent “confidence” features help keep
Scout

Sensors can be replaced, or calibration
performed, prior to a critical need situation. The
Scout’s “Sensor End-of-Life” and “Days to
Calibration” features provide added assurance
that Scout operators will remain aware of the
instrument’s operational status. In addition,
Scout performs other routine software and
electronic diagnostics every time the instru­ment is powered up for use.

Features:

Innovative IntelliShutter™

Allows users to quickly change from stan­dard (diffusion) mode to sample draw mode
(on-the-fly)

Rugged and Easy to Use

Can be dropped from 6 ft. and submerged in
a foot of water without any ill-effects

Wireless Charging

Simply place it in its charging cradle and
quick charged in under 4 hours to 50 hours
of runtime

Powerful Modular Pump

Optional integrated pump permits samples
to be taken from up to 100 ft. away
