hazmat meters

HazMat CAD Plus

• Toxic Industrail Chemicals (TICS)
• Chemical warfare agents (CW)

• Fast Mode (FM) 20 second analysis time
• High Sensitivity (HS) 120 second analysis time

• Open - for stimulant testing
• Closed - for storage
• Dust Filter - impedes particulates and water from entering inlet. this position should be used for field sampling

• Alarm - red blinking light indicates a threat vapor has been detected
• All Clear - green steady light no vapor threat present
• Lo Bat - yellow light indicates power is running low
• Sys OK - Green blinking light indicates proper electrical operation of instrument

Sony Lithium Ion battery (sony video camera battery)

"G" are nerve agents

• GA - Tabun
• GB - Sarin
• GD - Soman
• GF - No common name

• "H" are blister agents
• Mustard gases - sulfer mustard or nitrogen mustard

No Not pure VX. It will detect technical grade (impure) so it is not a complete solution for detecting VX.

• G
• H
• TOX
• BLoD - Hydrogen Cyanide
• CHOK - Phosgene Gas
• HYdR- Hydride Gas
• HALO- Halogen Gas

• Low - the detection devices (saw) preset alarm threshold
• Medium - 2 times higher than the preset alarm threshold (low)
• High - 5 times higher than the preset threshold (low)

6 times

- Meter must be running for 15 min and used in FAST MODE with all appropriate green lights illuminated.  Use diffusion tubes by placing in sample inlet for 3-5 seconds.  a "G" alarm should occur.  This provides a TOTAL system performance check.

- Chlorine Bleach on a cotton swab can be used to check a response for Halogen exposure

- This should be done once a month and prior to any entry

Sniff/Track Gas

• 50,000 PPM
• 10,000 per each 1%

• LEL 10%
• GAS 5%

Flashes "LOW"

Toxirae Pro

What gas we are dealing with. The meter is a gas specific meter

Ammonia NH3, Chlorine Cl2, Cyanide HCN

a lithium Ion rechargeable battery.  The Toxi Rae should be kept on the charger when not in use.

Battery is dead .. Recharge the unit as soon as possible

The meter does not have a pump to pull the gas through the meter. Therefore, you cannot connect a hose or a wand to the meter.

• MAX - Gas exceeds electronics maximum range
• OVER - Gas exceeds measurement range
• HIGH - Gas exceeds high alarm limit
• LOW - Gas exceeds low alarm limit
• STEL - Gas exceeds Short term exposure limit
• TWA - Gas exceeds time weighted average limit
• CAL - calibration failed or needs calibration
• BAT - low battery

The meter will tell you the measurement ranges for each sensor during the warm up cycle

• -  Cells last about 2 years
• -  Exposure to high temps or moisture can be harmful
• - Exposure to high concentrations can damage cell
• - Always keep sensors in keeper, in the meter, or on the charger. They can die if they go too long without electrical charge
• - cells exposed to very high concentrations of gas may take hours to clear or can be permanently damaged.  Must be left running until cleared

The manufacturer recommendation is to turn off the meter to change out the sensor.

• Ammoinia,
• Chlorine,
• Hydrogen Cyanide,
• Nitrogen Dioxcide,
• Sulfur Dioxcide

No (Manufacturers Recommendations)

.1%

Lithium Rechargeable

No, it can only be used in a CO2 meter.

Multi Rae (5 gas)

• Combustibility
• Oxygen O2
• Carbon Monoxide CO
• Hydrogen Sulfide H2S
• VOCs

yes, multiple sensors can be used

• LEL alarms at 10%
• O2 alarms at 19.5 and 23.5%
• CO alarms at 35 PPM
• H2S alarms at 10 PPM
• VOC alarms at 50-100 PPM

• 200,00 PPM 
• 10,000 per 1%

Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery.  Meter should be kept on the charger when not in use.
