Award for VOC monitor

This entry-level photoionisation detector, which offers worldwide Intrinsic Safety certification for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, is a streamlined, low cost version of the company’s Tiger instrument.

Suitable for conducting environmental surveys, TigerLT incorporates Ion Science’s PID technology with advanced patented fence electrode system. This three-electrode format ensures increased resistance to humidity and contamination for reliability and accuracy in the field, as well as reducing drift issues and extending run time. 

With a detection range of 0.1 - 5,000ppm using a standard two-point calibration protocol, TigerLT offers a response time of just two seconds and equally quick clear down. Both simple to operate and service, the device has been specifically developed by Ion Science to allow the operator easy access to the lamp and sensor in minutes, and for the safe replacement of batteries in hazardous environments. The intrinsically safe instrument also meets ATEX, IECEx, UL and CSA standards.

The TigerLT six pin MiniPID sensor cell with anti-contamination design is said to dramatically extend run time in the field. Low cost filters and lamps can be easily changed in minutes, minimising downtime. This new instrument also features long life rechargeable Li-ion batteries which give up to 24 hours usage. Fast battery charging allows the instrument to be fully charged in 6.5 hours, while eight hours of use can be achieved from 1.5 hours of charging time.
