The QRAE Plus 4 gas meter is a one-to-four confined space gas detector/monitor with an intrinsically safe rating which is perfect for use in harsh environments due to its resistance to water, dust, and EMI.

It's tough, compact design has several user-friendly features such as simple button operation, a rechargeable/easily changeable battery pack (available in both alkaline and rechargeable versions) that provides up to 20 hours of continuous operation, and the option of substituting the H2S and CO sensors for SO2, NO, NO2, Cl2, HCN, NH3, or PH3 and a 16,000 point datalogging storage capacity for downloading to a PC.

One-to-four plug-in “smart” sensors:

Combustible, Oxygen, Hydrogen Sulfide, Carbon Monoxide

Optional substance-specific toxic sensors:

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2 ), Nitric Oxide (NO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2 ), Chlorine (Cl2 ), Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN), Ammonia (NH3 ), Phosphine (PH3 )

Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery pack

Provides up to 20 hours (more than 2 work shifts) of continuous operation

Rugged housing

Withstands use in harsh environments with a water and dust resistant case and strong protective rubber boot

Highly resistant to radio frequency and other electromagnetic interference

Strong, built-in sample draw pump with optional collapsible sample-probe

Also available in diffusion configuration

One-button calibration with auto-zero capability

Loud audible alarm

Bright visual alarm

Interchangeable Lithium-ion and alkaline battery packs
