Mercury vapour detectors

MVI detector

For fast and accurate detection of Mercury Vapour Indicators (MVI).

MVI - mercury vapour detector

It is a revolutionary instrument capable of detecting mercury vapours in just 3 seconds. Its dual UV absorption technology and ability to detect high mercury concentrations without saturating make it unique on the market. It uses a high performance pump and has audible alarm systems. It requires no regeneration between readings, eliminating downtime. It allows continuous measurements and offers detection ranges from 0.1 to 200 μg/m³ and 1.0 to 1999 μg/m³. It is ideal for monitoring TWAs (time weighted averages).

SF6 leak detectors

SF6 Leakmate

Low cost SF6 leak detector

SF6 Leakmate - Low cost leak detector

It is the ideal portable instrument for detecting SF6 leaks with a lower detection limit of 1 E-6 mbar l/sec suitable for checking leaks in electrical panels. The instrument is equipped with audio alarms that warn the user of leaks and a bar graph LED display that allows the user to understand the extent of the leak. It has a response time of about 1 second. A special "auto shift" function compensates for any pre-existing concentration levels in an environment due to previous leaks.

SF6 Area Check P2

Designed for continuous monitoring of SF6.

SF6 Area Check P2 - fixed detector

Stationary SF6 monitoring instrument that quickly detects SF6 leaks with high sensitivity. It also has a relay output for alarm or safety systems. It is not affected by other gases in the air or humidity. The instrument can be operated from a PC or network interface. It does not use suction pumps, thus avoiding the problems of filter cleaning.
