Portable Gas Detectors

You work in industrial hazardous areas likely to contain explosive gases and vapours. OLDHAM have designed a new explosimeter range to suit your requirements. We are aware of the potential risks that you face and identify the type of gas to ensure a total safety package. Some of the smallest explosimeters on the market with the best performance, the EX 2000, EX 2000 C and the GD 2000 and GDP 2000 displays its concentration level. Even more, they can discriminate between natural gas and other explosive gases. Light, practical and high performance, the 2000 RANGE of explosimeters are the ideal, compact gas detectors for industry.

  • PRACTICAL AND MODERN DESIGN

    The 2000 RANGE of explosimeters are designed to ensure a total freedom in your personal acitivity:

    • ergonomic keyboard: 3 tactile buttons
    • high visible alarm
    • light weight
  • HIGH RELIABILITY

    The high quality detection sensor ensures measurement accuracy. The technique offers several advantages :

    • exceptional response time
    • 30 battery life hours
    • poison resistance

 

  • STANDARDS

    Our explosimeters are in accordance :

    • with the European certification:
      • surface : Eex iad IIC T4
      • mine : Eex iad I
    • with the North American certification :
      • class I groups A, B, C, and D

The 2000 RANGE of explosimeters are designed to minimize problems.

  • LONG BATTERY LIFE
    • 12 hours with rechargeable batteries (Ni-Cad or Ni-mH)
    • 30 hours with dry cell batteries
    • Simple charger
    • "Intelligent" two position charger
    • 12 VDC charger
    • POCKET SIZE
    • MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION VERY EASY, SIMPLE AND SAFE
    • FRIENDLY DISPLAY PANEL
  • VISUAL AND AUDIO ALARMS
    • Red light flashing
    • Pulsed alarm : 1 beep every 2 seconds for the first alarm threshold
    • Pulsed alarm : 1 beep every 1 second for the second alarm threshold
  • AUTO OPERATION STATUS
    • Auto test when switching on
    • Auto diagnosis
    • Confidence beep
    • Battery and sensor faults ( audio and visual alarm, continuous + pictograms displayed)

 

EX 2000

TO MEASURE THE EXPLOSIVE GAS CONCENTRATION

  • Detects all types of explosive gases
  • Displays 0 - 100% LEL
  • Can be programmed for a selected gas
EX 2000C

TO MEASURE THE CONCENTRATION OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

  • Only one detection sensor
  • Detect and display low concentration (0-100%LEL) and high concentration (0-100% vol)
  • Automatic switch over of range (catalytic or catharomic)
GD 2000

TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN NATURAL GAS AND OTHER EXPLOSIVE GASES

  • Detect all types of explosive gases with discrimination *
  • Displays simple messages for the user i.e. :
    • "OK" for "no gas detected"
    • "NATURAL GAS" or
    • "FLAMMABLE GAS"
GDP 2000

TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN NATURAL GAS AND OTHER EXPLOSIVE GASES, AND TO DISPLAY THE GAS CONCENTRATION

  • Detect all types of explosive gases with discrimination *
  • Display simple messages for the user ie :
    • "OK" for "no gas detected"
    • "NATURAL GAS" or
    • "FLAMMABLE GAS" with the gas concentration detected in % LEL
