Pac Ex.

Tracking down explosion hazards

ST-217-2000
 Its sturdiness and easy operation in
combination with its versatility make
Pac Ex the ideal Ex-monitor for
– fire brigades
– the chemical industry
– the oil and gas industry
– municipal supply
– disposal companies
– telecommunication enterprises.

Pac Ex + + + robust + + + easy operation

Pac Ex is a rechargeable gas detection

instrument for continuous measurement
and monitoring of combustible gases or
vapours in ambient air within the range
of the lower explosion limit (LEL) and for
methane up to 100% by volume.

It is equally suitable for both personal

measurement and monitoring of working
areas. The operation time with a fully
charged battery is approx. 10 hours.

The simple mechanical structure of the

device provides for easy change of the
rechargeable NiCd battery. The change
of the sensor is just as simple. After
opening the housing the old plug-in
sensor can easily be removed from the
printed circuit board and the new
sensor can easily plug in.
