Industrial Scientific Radius BZ1 Area Gas Monitor

Overview

When it comes to choosing equipment to protect your worksite from hazardous gases, rely on the Radius™ BZ1 Area Monitor. No other area monitor protects your workers longer in the field with less setup, user training, and time in the shop.

Stop worrying about missing alarms. Stop stressing over equipment downtime. The Radius™ BZ1 is built to detect gas hazards 24/7 without the hassle of elaborate wireless setups and maintenance routines. Radius just works, no questions asked, so your teams can focus on what's important and be confident that their area monitors are ready for whatever comes their way.

Deploy Whenever and Wherever:

Whether setting up a perimeter, or monitoring leaks or confined spaces, the Radius BZ1 allows for flexible deployments to create buffers between workers and gas hazards.

Get the Message Loud and Clear:

Loud audible alarms and different coloured strobes for gas and non-gas events ensure workers not only know when the instrument is alarming, but why.

React With Confidence:

Identify gases and alarms from a safe distance, and read critical safety messages such as "EVACUATE" or "VENTILATE," thanks to a display that is three times larger than its nearest competitors'.

Know What is Happening Without Approaching:

Create wireless networks out of the box and receive real-time gas readings from other instruments thanks to LENS Wireless and its automatic, peer-to-peer mesh network.

Spend Less Time Managing Your Instruments:

Your instruments will spend more time in the field and less time in the shop thanks to a unique modular design, the DSX™ Docking Station, and patented DualSense ® Technology.

Features

Features of the Radius BZ1

Detect up to seven gases using 18 sensor options including PID
Longest running area monitor with a typical run time of 7 days (168 hours)
Audible alarms sound at 108 dB at 1 m to cut through high-noise environments
LENS™ Wireless networks share alarms and data with no setup or infrastructure
Largest display of any area monitor on the market
Customisable alarm action messages such as "EVACUATE" or "VENTILATE"
DualSense ® Technology increases worker safety by using two sensors to detect the same gas
iNet ® and DSX™ Docking Station ready

Features of the LENS Wireless Highlights include:

No infrastructure required
Out-of-the-box operation
No need for IT setup
Self-forming, self-healing networks
Long range communication up to 300m without sacrificing runtime
Peer readings display alarms and data from across the linked group

Confined Space Monitoring
Know what’s happening in a confined space by using the pumped SafeCore Module and tubing to draw air samples to the monitor.
Perimeter Monitoring
Set up monitors around a tank, hot work, or other known hazardous areas to continuously monitor for gas leaks.
Fence Line Monitoring
Create a barrier between a safe zone and hazardous work area. Use the hopping capability of LENS Wireless to know what is happening up to 1.5 km away.
