Industrial Scientific Radius BZ1 gas hazard area monitor

The Industrial Scientific Radius BZ1 Area Monitor detects up to seven gases and is suitable for long-term projects, routine maintenance and emergency response.

The rugged, transportable device can provide a run time of seven days (168 continuous hours). It offers good hazard communication, connectivity and ease of use.

When a gas hazard occurs, the product ensures that workers in industrial environments know that the instrument is alarming, as well as why this is the case. It has distinctive audio and visual cues and an extra-large display. Custom alarm action messages allow workers to focus on taking appropriate action depending on the present gas level.

The company also offers a proprietary wireless platform called LENS Wireless. The platform is a peer-to-peer communication system that enhances worker safety by sharing alarms and gas readings between monitors. It forms a network automatically without the need for a central controller, IT set-up or infrastructure. The simplicity of deploying and using the platform helps workers to respond faster with real-time information when gas emergencies occur.

The design of the area monitor also makes the instrument easy to maintain. It has intuitive, text-based navigation. The SafeCore Module allows safety personnel to automatically bump test, calibrate, manage settings and update software. This allows users to have a smaller, rotating fleet to ensure continuous gas detection coverage in the field.
