Gas-Pro PID gives you full flexibility with a wide range of gas types to choose from. With an optional pump, the Gas-Pro PID is the perfect product addressing the requirements of a wide range of applications.
Gas-Pro PID utilises the Photo Ionization Detection technology to allow you to detect hundreds of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). If you are working in an environment that is high in levels of solvents, glues, paints and general VOCs, the Gas-Pro PID will monitor your safety. With its dual-coloured display, the monitor will alert the user with its 95db audible alarm and its dual-coloured visual alarm bars.
PID 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.
