BW Gas Alert Micro 5 Series Multi-Gas Detectors

GasAlertMicro5 PID photo-ionization sensor detects volatile organic compounds or VOCs and can be added to a standard four gas configuration or combined with non-standard combinations of other sensor. Add the attachable/removable sampling pump for confined space entry or remote sampling

Monitor 5 gases simultaneously. Waterproof to 3 ft and has a concussion proof boot with an optional attachable/removable pump.

GasAlertMicro5 portable gas detector simultaneously monitors and displays up to 5 potential atmospheric hazards including oxygen, combustible gases and a range of toxic gases. Compact and lightweight, GasAlertMicro5 adds multi-gas detection to BW Technologies water-resistant line of detectors. Audible, visual and vibrator alarms activate in the event of a low, high, TWA or STEL alarm condition. An optional motorized pump is available.

Beyond features that come standard with BW portable instruments such as confidence beep, full function self test, simple automatic calibration procedure and passcode protection, GasAlertMicro5 includes an extended selection of user-settable field options now including: stealth mode, backlight options, selectable ppm resolution, STEL / TWA measurement choice, combustible/PID correction factor options, user-settable calibration gas concentrations and multi-language support.
