October 20, 2004 - Measuring less than 3 x 5 in., portable mini-G helps protect employees in hazardous environments. It combines intelligent microprocessor-based design with electronic circuitry, and operates over 30 hr on alkaline batteries. Electrochemical cell and catalytic bead sensors provide continuous monitoring of combustible gases, toxic gases, and/or oxygen deficiency. Bright blue backlit LCD sceen with flip view capability allows visibility in low-light conditions.
New Miniature Portable Gas Detector Maximizes Battery Life and Ease-Of-Use
Ideal for Confined Spaces, Offshore Platforms, Oil Refineries, Chemical Plants, Electric Utilities, Pulp/Paper, Tank Cleaning Tunnels, Vaults, WasteWater, Warehouses and More
Lake Forest, CA--October 12, 2004--Designed to enhance employee safety in hazardous areas requiring prolonged work or with low lighting conditions, the new one to four gas mini-G Portable Gas Detector from General Monitors operates longer and shines brighter in its compact lightweight package, due to sophisticated electronics, an easy-to-read blue backlit LCD screen and glow-in-the-dark buttons.
The incredible mini-G Portable Gas Detector sets a new performance standard. At less than 3-x-5 inches in size and weighing a mere 12 ounces, the new multi-gas mini-G Portable Gas Detector offers reliable, smart, convenient personal protection in a wide range of hazardous environments. It maximizes worker mobility and is ideal for applications in many industries including: chemical plants, construction, electric utilities, food, landfill biogas, mining, oil/gas production and refining, plastics, pharmaceutical, pulp/paper, semiconductor manufacturing, telecom vaults, warehousing/distribution, wastewater and more.
Combining an intelligent microprocessor-based design with highly power-efficient electronic circuitry and long-life batteries, the new mini-G Portable Gas Detector operates over 30 hours on alkaline batteries. Many time-consuming maintenance and repair operations in hazardous areas require long periods of potential exposure to toxic or combustible gases, as well as oxygen deficiency. The mini-G's design lets workers continue their efforts until the job is done with complete protection and safety.
Lighting in confined spaces is often problematic as well. The mini-G Portable Gas Detector's bright blue backlit LCD screen with flip view capability is easily readable. When worn around the neck or held in the hand, the LCD screen can be flipped 180 degrees for easy viewing in any position at the touch of a glow button. The mini-G's glow-in-the-dark buttons also make it easy to operate.
Designed for optimum worker safety, mobility and convenience, the new portable mini-G is a multi-gas detector with interchangeable sensors for maximum configuration flexibility in a single device. Its highly reliable electrochemical cell and catalytic bead sensors provide continuous monitoring of combustible gases, and/or toxic gases and/or oxygen deficiency. Developed to meet dust-proof and water-resistant requirements, the mini-G's electronics are protected against moisture damage.
Providing continuous status and alarming, the mini-G Portable Gas Detector can be configured with one to three gas sensors. Four gases can be detected when a Bi-tox sensor is installed. The mini-G has programmable alarm set points for two programmable gas concentration levels per sensor-- in addition to TWA (time-weighted average), and STEL (short-term exposure limit) alarms. With a built-in sensor life indicator, the user always has a status indication of remaining sensor life for added protection.
The mini-G Portable Gas Detector is easy to set-up and operate. When hazardous conditions are present, the mini-G provides three alarms: audio, visual (flashing LEDs) and vibration. The mini-G warns of oxygen deficiency at the 0-25 percent by volume level and detects combustible gas at 0-100 percent LEL. It detects carbon monoxide at 0-500 ppm, chlorine at 0-20 ppm, hydrogen sulfide at 0-100 ppm and sulfur dioxide at 0-20 ppm.
With its flexible multi-gas design, advanced safety, power and lighting features, as well as ease-of-use, the mini-G sets a new performance standard in portable gas detectors. The mini-G portable detector is available directly from General Monitors with 24-hour fast ship delivery at www.gmiportables.com. A wide range of accessories is now available via the company's e-commerce site, including manual sample pump, battery charger, carrying case and much more.
