Sensors
The GasAlertMicro 5 is available in three models: toxic/
electrochemical, PID (for VOCs) or IR (for CO
). For more

NO2 O3 Combustibles (LEL)
Photoionization sensor available for volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) detection.
Infrared (IR) gold series sensors available for carbon
dioxide (CO
) detection.

Note: Due to board and sensor confi guration GasAlertMicro 5
models are not interchangeable (i.e. a PID sensor cannot be
used in a IR confi gured unit).

Wide number of potential hazards (benzene, diesel,
ethanol, toluene, etc.) dependant on industry
Jet fuel not detectable by LEL sensor, PID required
Decomposing organic matter, emission of chemical
compounds
By-products of refi ning processes
Number of potential hazards dependant on product
and process of manufacturing
Hazards

Respiration and aerobic bacterial decomposition
By-product of yeast fermentation
Greenhouses, mushroom farms use CO2 to
enhance growth; also used to speed ripening of
fruits and vegetables, aerobic bacteria in manure
pits
Used for fi re suppression and inerting cargo holds
Injected into mature wells for further oil extraction
Aerobic bacteria
Solid CO2 (dry ice) used as a refrigerant and for
carbonation; CO2 used in packaging to extend
storage shelf life
CO2 used in various processes
Biodegradation (aerobic decomposition) of waste
Both the diffusion and pumped
confi gurations are compatible
with the MicroDock II
automated bump test and
calibration system
