Ventis MX4 Portable Multi Gas Monitor

Overview

Configured for your safety, the Ventis can detect from one to four gases with a wide range of sensor options. The Ventis can increase the efficiency of your business while it handles your gas detection program.

The highly configurable Ventis is specifically designed to meet unique gas detection needs while maintaining worker safety. Available with or without an optional, integral pump, the Ventis is ideal for confined space or personal monitoring. The Ventis MX4 multi gas monitor has the ability to draw samples from 30 meters with an optional integrated sampling pump.

In addition to multiple sensor and battery configurations, you can choose from a robust suite of accessories. Each of these options for configuration ensures that when you receive your monitor, you receive only what you need. Best of all, the Ventis is compatible with iNet, enabling increased efficiency, safety and reduced costs.

Features

Overmoulded composite construction	Rugged design provides exceptional durability in harsh, industrial environments
IP66/67 Certified	Ensures that the monitor can withstand use in extremely dusty and wet applications
One to four-gas configurations	Allows you to select and expand your sensor configuration to meet your monitoring needs at any time
Broad sensor measuring ranges	Measuring ranges for carbon monoxide to 1000 ppm, hydrogen sulphide to 500 ppm, nitrogen dioxide to 150 ppm and sulphur dioxide to 150 ppm provide the ability to see changes in hazardous conditions beyond normal monitoring ranges
Interchangeable lithium-ion and alkaline battery packs	Rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs offer day-to-day use for up to 12 hours continuously, while alkaline batteries provide an emergency backup power supply or an alternative primary power source for applications where instruments are used less frequently
Lithium-ion extended range battery pack	Rechargeable lithium-ion extended range battery packs offer day-to-day use for up to 20 hours continuously when using the instrument without the pump
Integrated sample-draw operation	One instrument can be carried for continuous monitoring or be used with the integrated sampling pump for sample-draw applications such as confined space entry testing
PEAK reading storage	Provides quick access to an on-screen review of highest exposure conditions after alarm events without the need to download data logged information
On-board continuous data logging	Storage of a minimum of three months of sensor data allows for routine review of gas exposures, revealing areas of safety concern and potential improvement
Audible, visual and vibrating alarms	95 dB audible, ultra bright visual and strong vibration alarms provide multiple clear warnings in high-noise, low-light conditions
Programmable bump test mode	Prompts user to bump test instrument on a regular basis and provides an alarm that prevents use if bump test has not been performed at the desired interval
Calibration overdue alarm	Prompts user and prevents normal use if instrument has not been calibrated within the prescribed timeframe
STEL and TWA readings and alarms	Short-term and time-weighted average exposure measurements and alarms allow users to potentially set instantaneous alarms at higher levels, allowing work to continue safely while still providing alarms in conditions of prolonged exposure at lower gas concentrations
Quick-Cal calibration mode	Saves time and money by allowing all sensors to be calibrated simultaneously using one cylinder of blended calibration gas
iNet™ Ready	Gives you Gas Detection as a Service on the world’s premier instrument management system. iNet provides factory monitoring and servicing of your gas detection fleet without the need to purchase a single piece of equipment.
Available in Safety Orange	Bright orange overmould enables increased visibility in dark, confined spaces
