BW GasAlertMicro 5 Multi-Gas Detector

Protect yourself
Simultaneously monitor and display up to fi ve atmospheric hazards with the GasAlertMicro 5 Series. Adaptable to a variety of applications, the GasAlertMicro 5 Series has an extensive selection of user-settable field options and is available as either a standard toxic gas model, a PID model
for the detection VOCs, or an IR model for CO2 detection.

Use the passcode function to prevent unauthorized modifi cations of the instrument’s settings. Compatible with BW’s MicroDock II automatic test and calibration system, the GasAlertMicro 5 Series is unparalleled in its versatility, performance and overall value.

Sensors
The GasAlertMicro 5 is available in three models: toxic/ electrochemical, PID (for VOCs) or IR (for CO2):
Electrochemical and catalytic bead sensors available for: H2S, CO, O2, SO2, Cl2, ClO2, NH3, PH3, HCN, NO2, O3, Combustibles (LEL)
Photoionization sensor available for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detection.
Infrared (IR) gold series sensors available for carbon dioxide (CO2) detection.

Note: Due to board and sensor confi guration GasAlertMicro 5 models are not interchangeable (i.e. a PID sensor cannot be used in a IR configured unit).
