3M’s enhanced PS200

GMI, a company within the 3M Personal Safety Division, has announced the enhancement of its PS200 multi-gas detection instrument. From June 2019, its most popular portable multi-gas detector, the PS200, features some impressive product enhancements, said the company in a statement.

One such improvement is as a powerful new data logging capacity that will enable customers to capture all relevant calibration and session data over a six-month period. This increased capacity will improve customers’ access to relevant data whilst enabling quicker decisions to be made. Another helpful addition is the new quick-press field calibration mode which will save customers time by simplifying the field calibration process, it added. “Customers will also be able to visualise their short-term and long-term exposures to Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) enabling them to quickly determine current exposure rates and take appropriate action,” the statement said.

Lastly, it has added a bundle of user experience upgrades including a quick configuration display; configurable confidence signals; and increased user control around calibration due dates, dead-band configurations, and resolution settings (H2S). These features combined will enhance performance; improve ease-of use; and importantly enrich the overall user experience.

“The PS200 continues to measure any combination of LEL, Oxygen (O2), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) making it suitable for a wide range of personal monitoring and confined space applications,”it added. In addition to extensive datalogging capabilities, the PS200 is available with an optional internal pump and an extensive range of accessories to meet a wide variety of user applications.

3M Gas & Flame Detection is comprised of former IST companies, Detcon, Oldham, Gas Measurement Instruments (GMI) and Simtronics, along with the gas and flame business of Scott Safety. The five legacy companies have come together to form one unified company.
