Detective+
Transportable Multi-
gas Area Monitor
The Detective+ is a rugged, water and impact
resistant multi-gas monitor for temporary areas.
Ideal for use in turnaround/shutdown procedures,
hot work maintenance, confined space entry work
and many other utility, construction and oil and
gas industry applications. Detective+ gives a loud and clear
alarm providing effective warning of gas hazards. The
rugged, water and impact resistant design make Detective+
the ideal choice for your transportable gas detection needs.

Versatile and user friendly

Infrared sensors available Allows sampling of highly flammable gas levels and carbon dioxide
Unaffected by poisoning and has a very fast response time

Built in pump option Provides sampling versatility

Built-in display Provides clear information, allows identification of gas hazard

Rugged, tripod design

Raised sensor apertures Prevents water ingress

Triple leg design Increases unit physical visibility and is the

perfect height to allow 360 gas inlet

Folding leg option Allows stacking for easier storage and transportation

IP65 specifications Provides excellent sensor protection for

use in challenging environments

Loud and clear alarms

Network ready 25 units can be networked together forming
effective perimeter defence. When one alarms, all
units on the network alarm. Detective+ with cables
12 units

Intelligent & flexible Units on the network can be placed up to 100m from
each other. When in alarm the unit which triggered
the alarm flashes faster than the others

Audible and visible confidence blip Provides guarantee to the user that the unit is
functioning properly and that they are protected

High visibilty Vivid red LED clusters combine with an extra loud
siren to give very clear alarm notifications

Multiple beacons Ensures 360° visibility

Infrared sensors
Infrared (IR) sensors for flammable gas can be supplied as a single range, 0-100% LEL, utilising a single display
channel, or as a dual range, 0-100% LEL/0-100% volume, which then occupies two display channels.
Carbon dioxide sensors are supplied as 0-5% volume. Only one IR sensor can be fitted, and
IR sensors can only be used in combination with oxygen and toxic sensors.
