General Information

UNI (MP100) is a single sensor, portable, personal toxic gas monitor. It displays gas
concentration continuously on a big segment LCD. It also monitors STEL, TWA, peak and min
(for O2 only) value of the gas and can be displayed on demand.

High, Low, STEL&TWA alarm threshold values are configurable. The shell is made of high
strength, durable material. Two key operation, simple to use. Sensor and battery can be replaced
easily. Calibration is also very convenient.
