EX-TEC PM 580 Portable Gas Detector for detecting, measuring and warning

The EX-TEC PM 580 is an ideal mobile gas measuring device. It detects leaks in gas pipelines, evaluates explosion risks, and checks if toxic gases are within occupational exposure limits (OEL). In structural applications, the EX-TEC PM 580 shows the carbon monoxide (CO) level in the air and triggers both audible and visual alarms if the levels are too high. Toxic carbon monoxide (CO) is produced by combustion equipment like heating systems, especially when ventilation is inadequate, posing a health hazard.

The EX-TEC PM 580 gas measurement and warning devices detect five different gases when properly installed. Thanks to its modular design, users can customize the instrument to suit their specific needs.
