The PhoCheck Tiger PID - Photo Ionisation detector
Product Information
.jpg)
The PhoCheck Tiger by IonScience is a (PID) Photo Ionisation Detector for VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds).
There are 3 models in the range. All are upgradable from the basic variant.
This hand held VOC detector has MiniPID technology providing the best available detection and software features, and is all ready to use straight out of the box!
Tough, reliability and accuracy make the PhoCheck Tiger an easy choice for VOC measurement. Incorporating patented fence electrode technology to ensure successful operation the PhoCheck Tiger gives you reliability previously unavailable, no need for temperature and humidity compensation using this technology.
Contamination has routinely been a problem for PID users. The PhoCheck Tiger incorporates a 6 tier contamination avoidance routine, giving you accurate data each and every time.
Operation is simple and can be used right out of the box. There are no complex set up routines. You can switch on and start taking measurements. The PhoCheck Tiger is now the most cost effective PID for both direct purchase and running costs on the market.
Applications for the Phocheck Tiger include:
- Environmental Monitoring
- Soil Contamination Detection
- VOCs in Landfill Sites
- Indoor Air Quality Measuring
- Industrial Volatiles
- Health & Safety, STEL & TWA
- Monitoring in Confined Spaces
- General Leakage in Fuel and Chemical Storage
- General Atmosphere
- Monitoring for Tracing Chemicals
- Screening Tool for First Responders
- Fence Line Monitoring for Plume Detection

PhoCheck Tiger Models & Upgradeability Options
Fully Upgradeable Directly from your own Desktop!
PhoCheck Tiger is a fully upgradeable instrument with multiple application driven software modules to choose from. A base unit can be upgraded with data logging, health and safety mode and ppb options remotely, from the users own desktop without even being returned to the factory.
Data Logging:
Add data logging to your instrument for the following features:
• Store up to 120,000 data points with date and time stamp
• Event logging
• Push to log (single point)
• Timed logging
• Continuous logging
• Log on alarm
• Zone logging
Health and Safety Mode:
Add Health and Safety mode to include:
• Time Weighted Average and Short Term Exposure Limit alarms using preset tables
• Selectable national standards NIOSH, OSHA and EH40 ppb Capability
Add ppb for the widest detection range available on the market:
• Detect VOCs from 1 ppb to 20,000 ppm
(Note: a base unit detects VOCs from 0.1 ppm to 20,000 ppm).
Bluetooth and Wireless Communication
• Future Bluetooth and Wireless communication options will be available.
