MULTI-SENSOR GAS DETECTOR

Electrochemical, LEL, PID, IR*—
The Biosystems PHD6 has it all!

The Biosystems PHD6 is a state-of-the-art multi-gas detector
from Sperian. It’s the most configurable gas detector we’ve
ever made with 5 sensor ports, up to 6 channels of detection,
and over 19 sensor options including electrochemical, LEL,
PID and Infrared.*

Sperian built the Biosystems PHD6 to be reliable and
sophisticated while maintaining the ease of use that you’ve
come to expect from us. Day-to-day detector operations are
controlled entirely through the mode button. A status bar
on the display, with easy-to-recognize icons, gives the user
immediate access to everything from time to calibration
status. Built-in and easy-to-navigate menus give advanced
users the ability to configure the detector in the field.

The Biosystems PHD6 is constructed of an impact engineered
polycarbonate frame with rubber overmold, making it both

tough and easy to handle. Power comes from inter changeable
alkaline or Li-Ion rechargeable battery packs with run times
as long as 24 hours. A manual sample draw kit is included
and an optional motorized sample draw pump is available.

To save on calibration costs and to automate record keeping,
Sperian is releasing the Biosystems IQ6 Express Dock
alongside the PHD6. The IQ6 Dock can calibrate common
PHD6 configurations in under a minute while reducing labor
time and calibration gas costs. Concerned about record ­keeping? With the IQ6 Dock, recordkeeping is automatic.

The Biosystems PHD6 and IQ6 Express Dock: Powerful
allies to help keep you safe in dangerous conditions.

5 Sensor Ports and 19 Sensor Options

With 19 sensor choices, including PID, IR-CO2,* IR-CH4,* conventional
LEL, oxygen and 15 different toxic gas sensors including Duo-Tox, the
Biosystems PHD6 can be configured for just about any use.

PID Sensor Option

PID sensor monitors for hundreds of known VOCs.

IR CO2Sensor Option*

For breweries, wineries and anywhere accumulations of CO2can be
an issue.

Electrochemical Sensor Options

Choose from 14 different electrochemical toxic gas sensors.

LEL Sensor Option

A catalytic hot-bead LEL sensor is available for the detection of
combustible gases and vapors.

IR CH4Sensor Option*

Poison-proof technology for use in situations where a conventional
LEL sensor can fail.

Durable

The Biosystems PHD6 is enclosed in a solid polycarbonate case with
a TPE (rubber) overmold, so it’s both tough and easy to handle.

Interchangeable Battery Packs

Both Li-Ion and Alkaline battery packs offer up to 24 hour run times.

Dual Audible Alarms that Stand Out!

The new dual audible alarms in the Biosystems PHD6 are unlike
anything you’ve ever heard from a gas detector — and rated at 92 dB.

Visible Alarms

Front and side mounted LED alarms are highly visible.

KEY FEATURES

Biosystems IQ6 Express Dock

™

Introducing…

The Biosystems IQ6 Express Dock is designed from the ground up to
be the easiest dock to use on the market. The dock is configured at
the factory with default settings and can be used right out of the box
for basic instrument processing. More advanced users will appreciate
the standard USB or optional Ethernet connections that allowthedock’s
settings to be tailored to meet the specific needs of any gas detection
program. The automatic instrument download feature allows the user
to streamline recordkeeping andmakesitvirtually hands-free. Common
Biosystems PHD6 configurations can be processed by the dock in under
a minute, reducing labor and calibration gas expenses.

At Sperian, we’re convinced that we make the best docks on the
market. Our Biosystems IQ Express docks offer incredible processing
power and flexibility while being extremely easy to use. The worker
just drops the detector in the dock at the beginning of his or her
shift and the dock processes the instrument according to your
recordkeeping protocols. It’s that easy.

It’s pretty clear that docks can really make your life easier and can
streamline your gas detection program, but the question remains:
Why spend $495 to $895 on a dock when you can continue to perform
manual calibrations and recordkeeping?

Status Bar with Easily Recognized Symbols

Icons let the user know the status of the instrument. A heartbeat
symbol beats every few seconds to let you know that the instrument
is functioning normally. Calibration due is shown with a gas cylinder
icon coupled with a triangular warning symbol.

IQ Dock Compatibility

Reduce labor costs, automate recordkeeping and save calibration gas
all at the same time with the IQ6 Dock.

Intuitive Menu-Driven Instrument Configuration

Select from the Main Menu or the Basic Menu. Access all instrument
configuration options from alarm settings to passcode access option
to menus.

Built-In IrDA Port for Easy Downloads

Every Biosystems PHD6 includes a built-in IrDA port that allows the
instrument to be configured with a PC. The IrDA port also allows
instruments with the Datalogger upgrade to be downloaded in the
field to retrieve data on calibrations and exposure levels.

Docks reduce calibration gas expenses

Sperian docks use a lot less gas than is used during
manual calibrations. Here’s an example: If you have
10 Sperian gas detectors and follow the ISEA guideline
that recommends daily sensor verification, you could
spend over $10,000 per year in gas costs. If you purchase
a dock, you can reduce your gas costs by over 60%.
So the Biosystems IQ Express Dock could save you well
over $6000 per year in gas costs alone.

Docks reduce labor expenses by cutting down on the time
needed to perform a calibration

To set up and perform a manual bump test of a single
instrument takes the average user about 2 minutes. A
Biosystems IQ Express Dock can perform a bump test in
about 22 seconds. If you’ve got ten instruments to bump
every morning, you could save over 60 hours of labor
by the end of the first year.

Docks reduce labor expenses associated with recordkeeping
Let’s face it: Recordkeeping is a lot of work. Downloading
individual instrument records one at a time into a PC can take
hours. Tracking calibration and exposure records by hand is
even worse. In an IQ Express Dock, both of these procedures
occur automatically during instrument processing.

Docks can reduce your legal liability

No matter how good yourrecordkeeping is, manual systems
are prone to error. And in case of an accident, errors mean
liability. Our docks accurately record every test.

Biosystems IQ Express Docks
pay for themselves in no time!
