Product Highlight Series
This is the third product highlight in our exclusive series of gas detection we proudly carry on our site to give you our opinion on the equipment itself. The way we present it to you is from the perspective of its application, ease of use, and longevity of the equipment.
Application:
The Eagle 2 gas monitor is a powerful instrument that monitors up to 6 different gasses, can draw samples from up to 125 feet away, includes data logging and user-friendly software. The Eagle 2 is smaller and lighter than its predecessor the Eagle.
The Eagle 2 is also available with IR sensors for measuring Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in 3 separate ranges - Methane in both % LEL and % Volume ranges and other Hydrocarbons in % LEL ranges.
The Eagle Series instruments are widely used in military, industrial facilities and for confined space entry.
One element that helps the Eagle 2 stand out is the fact that it now includes a photo ionization detector or PID. The Eagle 2 photo ionization detector measures volatile organic compounds and other gases in concentrations in 2 ranges, 0-50 ppm or 0-4000 ppm. The Eagle 2 is capable of giving instantaneous readings and monitoring continuously for up to 6 gases in unique combinations.
PIDs are used as monitoring solutions for:
Ease of Use:
