PACIII: The Most in a Single
Gas Monitor
The PacIII Monitor delivers the most!
The loudest audible alarm, the largest
display, the easiest-to-use electronics,
and the smartest sensors. All of these
features are found in this small and
rugged gas monitor. The PacIII is the
most versatile gas detection instrument
because it can utilize any one of more
than twenty intelligent sensors, and
quickly switch between them in the field.
The sensors provide fast and accurate
responses to hazardous gas levels while
the attention-getting alarms make sure
you know that danger is present. The
PacIII provides the most sensing and
alarming capabilities of any single gas
monitor in the industry today.
Rugged Housing. Many
gas-monitoring applications are also
environmentally challenged. It is not
uncommon to work in environments that are
hot, cold, wet, dirty, or affected by
corrosive gases. These extreme working
environments, such as an offshore oil rig
or an underground mine, put equipment to
the test. PacIII was designed to handle
these tough conditions in stride, and it
does! The metal plated ABS housing
provides a light-weight package that is
easy to wear, but can take a beating in
the field.
Regardless of accidental drops,
unintentional bumps, or the occasional
submersion in water, the PacIII is still
ready to measure gas and sound its
alarms. O-rings seal the housing from
water or dust. The horn and sensor
compartments are sealed against the
elements, too. The PacIII is ready for
the most demanding applications.
RFI Shielding. The
shinny silver package is not just for
looks. The chrome-plated housing provides
superior resistance to potential Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI). This means
that you can use walkie-talkies in close
proximity to the unit without causing
false alarms.
In addition to protection against RFI,
the metallic coating serves to protect
the instrument against heat radiation; a
valuable feature in the primary metals
industry where high heat exposure is
common. The PacIII instrument is fully
protected against the environment so it
can do its job, protecting those who wear
it!
Easy Operation. The
PacIII is one tough little instrument,
but very easy to operate. The three
buttons on the front of the unit turn it
ON, OFF, and access routinely needed data
like battery levels. Operations like acknowledging alarms and activating the
backlight are clearly marked.
Implementing this instrument into your
gas-monitoring program is a breeze.
Operational Display.
The large display constantly communicates
information to the user. The gas
concentration is continuously shown in
large numbers for quick analysis of the
situation. Below the concentration is the
measuring units (ppm or %val.) and the
gas being measured (e.g.. CO, Cl2, PH3,
etc.). Alarm levels are also shown in the
display. The bottom line of the display
is reserved for special information characters. For example, a battery icon
tells you that there is a low battery
condition. All alarms and warnings are
announced with an audible and visual
signal and display message or character.
The PacIII communicates the information
you want and need to know.
Menu Driven Functions.
Functions such as calibration and alarm
set points are adjusted through plain
language menu commands. These functions
are protected by a pass code to prevent
accidental or unauthorized adjustment. In
this mode, the three-buttons act as UP,
DOWN, and ENTER buttons to navigate you
through the menu. Operation of the PacIII
is very intuitive.
