PHD6 Confined Space MultiGas Detector

Product Information

 With the capability to measure up to 6 gases in one compact personal  monitor the PHD6 gives unrivalled protection. 
 
There are 18 different sensor options making it the most configurable gas detector on the market. A mixture of sensor technology can be accommodated. A Photo-ionisation Detector (PID) is available for VOC measurement,  Infra-red sensors
for CO2 and Methane, conventional LEL, Oxygen plus 15 different toxic sensors. 
 
The PHD6 is tough and easy to handle in confined spaced.
 
With rechargeable  li-on batteries or interchangeable alkaline batteries it can operate for 24 hours giving you lasting protection.
 
Pre-entry testing is easy with the PHD6 and a manual sample draw kit or an optional pump is available. Audible alarms are unlike anything you have heard from a gas monitor and rated at 92dB.  Visual alarms are also highly isible. For increased peace of mind an optional docking station for instrument testing and calibration is available.  This means it is very easy and fast to check the performance of the PHD6 every time you use it and a record of testing is automatically archived to your PC.

Product features

  • 5 Sensor Ports and 19 Sensor Options

LEL, oxygen and 15 different toxic gas sensors including Duo-Tox, the Biosystems PHD6 can be configured for just about any use.

  • PID Sensor Option

PID sensor monitors for hundreds of known VOCs.

  • IR CO2 Sensor Option*

For breweries, wineries and anywhere accumulations of CO2 can be an issue.

  • Electrochemical Sensor Options

Choose from 14 different electrochemical toxic gas sensors.

  • LEL Sensor Option

A catalytic hot-bead LEL sensor is available for the detection of combustible gases and vapors. 4Poison-proof technology for use in situations where a conventional LEL sensor can fail.

  • Durable

The Biosystems PHD6 is enclosed in a solid polycarbonate case with a TPE (rubber) overmold, so it’s both tough and easy to handle.

  • Interchangeable Battery Packs

Both Li-Ion and Alkaline battery packs offer up to 24 hour run times.

  •  Dual Audible Alarms that Stand Out!

The new dual audible alarms in the Biosystems PHD6 are unlike anything you’ve ever heard from a gas detector  and rated at 92 dB. to your recordkeeping protocols. It’s that easy. It’s pretty clear that docks can really make your life easier and can streamline your gas detection program, but the question remains:

  • Status Bar with Easily Recognized Symbols

symbol beats every few seconds to let you know that the instrument is functioning normally. Calibration due is shown

with a gas cylinder icon coupled with a triangular warning symbol.

  •  IQ Dock Compatibility

Reduce labor costs, automate recordkeeping and save calibration gas  all at the same time with the IQ6 Dock.

  •  Intuitive Menu-Driven Instrument Configuration

Select from the Main Menu or the Basic Menu. Access all instrument configuration options from alarm settings to passcode access option to menus.

  • Built-In IrDA Port for Easy Downloads

Every Biosystems PHD6 includes a built-in IrDA port that allows the instrument to be configured with a PC. The IrDA port also allows instruments with the Datalogger upgrade to be downloaded in the  field to retrieve data oncalibrations and exposure levels.
