Portable multi-gas detector from Crowcon
New T4 portable detector provides advanced protection for employees working in harsh environments
CROWCON, one of the leading manufacturers of specialist gas-detection equipment, have launched a new, portable, multi-gas detector which integrates innovative features to provide advanced protection for employees working in harsh environments, while minimizing the cost of ownership through faster servicing.
The T4 detector will allow companies to ensure compliance with safety standards by protecting employees against unsafe levels of the most commonly monitored gas combination – carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen (O2), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) – and a range of flammable gases.
Among the key features of the T4 are Crowcon’s +ve Safety status indicator; easy one-button operation; clip-on filter plates; and a time-weighted average (TWA) resume facility.
The +ve Safety feature is Crowcon’s simple ‘traffic light’ status indicator which allows the user to check the compliance status of the unit at a glance, without having to read and interpret the data shown on the detector’s display screen.
TWA resume is an innovative new feature that ensures TWA-logged doses of toxic gases are not reset when the unit is shutdown, for example during a break, reducing the risk of worker overexposure to toxic gases.
The clip-on filter plates make it faster and easier for users to replace the gas filter, which is an essential safety precaution in dirtier environments. The T4’s ease of use also includes one-button operation, which reduces the amount of training required and ensures ease of use while wearing gloves. Finally, the T4 achieves an extended battery life of more than 20 hours from a single charge.
‘Despite its advanced features and functionality, the T4 offers enhanced protection and compliance to safety standards from a unit which is highly cost-effective to install and maintain,’ concluded Nick Dajda, Crowcon business development manager for portable products.
