Triple Plus+

Compare

Overview

Intrinsically safe, the Triple Plus+ provides enhanced facilities for safety and detector fleet managers including selection of flammable gas correction factors (so one unit can be used in several locations across a site) and annotation of the data file with user names and site names selected from pre-configured files in the unit.

IR option
IR sensors have very high resistance to interference or inhibition by other gases and are suitable for both high gas concentrations and use in inert (oxygen free) backgrounds where catalytic pellistor sensors would perform poorly.

The unique design of the Crowcon IR sensor module used in Triple Plus+ IR allows measurement of hydrocarbons at both %LEL and % volume ranges making this instrument ideal for tank and line purging applications.

  • No poisoning effects – works well where catalytic pellistors would perform poorly
  • Long life sensor and no burnout – reduced cost of ownership
  • % vol. measurement for purging applications – offers flexibility
  • % LEL measurement in air or inert backgrounds
  • Single or dual range measurement
  • IR CO2 detection, 0-5%

Clear and unambiguous

  • Piercing 85dB alarm at 1m – gives you confidence in the status of your Triple Plus+, and the environment you’re working in
  • Vivid LED alarms with top visibility
  • Confidence blip, low battery and TWA warnings
  • Timed data logging with 100-hour capacity

Simple to customise

  • Wide range of electrochemical oxygen and toxic gas sensors – allows you to create your optimum 4 gas Triple plus+
  • Available for diffusion, manual aspiration or pumped sampling
  • Interchangeable sensor modules
  • Comprehensive data logging with site and user names

Durable

  • TriaxTM casing will not crack or shatter when dropped – system integrity and operation assured
  • Unique internal design will resist the harshest treatment
  • Full buoyancy – makes recovery from water possible

Easy to maintain

  • Simple WindowsTM Software interface – user menus allow calibration with or without connecting to a PC
  • QuickCal for rapid calibration
