DatasheetPID Technology
Crowcon’s PID works with a 10.6 electron volt lamp. This sensor is the most stable sensor on the market and offers the detection of a wide range of VOCs. The sensor has an internal UV light source, which the gas sample passes through. An electron is released for gases with an ionization potential of 10.6.
User friendly:
- Top mount display – Makes it easy to read at a glance for quick decision-making
- Simple single button operation – Limited training required
- Ergonomically designed – Sits well when worn and fits easily in the hand
Flexibility:
- Monitors 5 gases from many different options – Hundreds of variants to choose from
- Pumped and diffusion solutions – Offers multiple uses within one compact detector
- Multiple languages – Regionally configurable
- Automatic fail-safe flow pump plate recognition – Simple to use and no tools required
- Specific and unique Pre-Entry Check (PEC) mode – Takes away the pain of pre-entry testing
- PID correction factor – Set to target VOCs
Reliability:
- Broad range PID – Hundreds of gases detected
- Water and dust resistant to IP65 and IP66 – Capable of withstanding harsh environments
- Bump and calibration reminders – Full compliance
- Positive/+ve Safety – Full site compliance
- Strong pump – Up to 30m sampling
