Alarm tresholds
Alarm thresholds in multi-gas monitors are preset limits that trigger alerts when gas concentrations become unsafe. They help users respond quickly to potential hazards and keep the work environment safe.
- Ex (Infrared): A1 = 20 %LEL, A2 = 40 %LEL
- CO2 (Infrared): A1 = 0.5 vol.-%, A2 = 1.0 vol.-%
- O2: A1 = 19 vol.-%, A2 = 23 vol.-%
- CO: A1 = 20ppm, A2 = 40ppm
- H2S: A1 = 5ppm, A2 = 10ppm
Main Application Areas
Personal Protection and Continuous Monitoring
Multi-gas monitors are worn by workers for ongoing personal monitoring, providing immediate warnings about toxic, flammable gases, or low oxygen levels to prevent poisoning, explosion, or suffocation.
Confined Space and Clearance Measurements
They are essential tools for measuring atmospheric safety in tanks, pipelines, and other confined spaces - either directly or via remote sampling - helping ensure a safe environment before and during entry.
Leak and Area Monitoring
With rapid sensor response, these devices quickly detect gas leaks and are also effective for monitoring areas where hazards are likely, such as during maintenance or plant shutdowns.
Industrial Applications
Multi-gas monitors are widely used across industries including chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, steel manufacturing, utilities, mining, and tunneling, wherever gas exposure poses a risk.
Calibration and Bump Testing Functionality tests
Required function tests before each use are performed using the Dräger test and calibration stations along with the corresponding test gases.
If you wish for a customized alarm threshold configuration and/or an adjustment of the Ex sensor, please specify the alarm thresholds and the target gas calibration at the end of the ordering process in the comment field.
You can also rent bump test equipment for temporary assignments, projects or additional testing tasks. Click here to see our range of products.
