Product Specification

 

Extended measuring rangeNew

A new sensor unit allows three staggered measuring ranges up to 2 000 ppm (isobutene) with high resolution at low concentrations.

Easy user interface

A graphic display with intuitive user guidance, clear text instructions and step-by-step configuration support the ease of use.

High performance PID lamp

The ionisation source is a hollow cathode lamp with an energy of 10.6 eV. The Ceramic Discharge Channel ensures high stability and a longer lifetime of up to 15 000 hours and more.

Acoustic and visual warning functions

The Portable PID has an acoustic alarm and two ultrabright LEDs that warn when adjustable concentration values are exceeded.

Simple calibration

Only one calibration gas is required for the simple menu driven two-point calibration.

      

Diverse charging options

The Portable PID is equipped with a standard USB-C connection and can be charged with any common USB-C wall adapter or car charger and has the option for wireless charging.

Temperature / humidity compensation

The integrated humidity / temperature sensor measures the physical environment data in addition to the sensor signal and compensates their influence on the measuring result.
