INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GMI PS200 series combines quality, ruggedness and
advanced technology in a user friendly, portable gas detector.
It is compact, lightweight, water resistant, extremely robust
and is suitably certified to recognised International Standards.
The PS200 is designed for confined space monitoring, for
example, in sewers, underground piping, or within tanks and
other personal monitoring applications. With audible, visual
and vibrating alarms, it provides early warning of dangerous
gas levels.
The instrument is available as either a pumped or diffusion
model and is powered by an internal Li-ion (lithium ion)
rechargeable battery with minimum operating time of 14 hours
for non-pumped operation (8 hours for pumped operation).
Maximum recharge time is 4 hours.
Operated via two push buttons, this instrument provides the
user with a simple to use, yet state-of-the-art, gas detector.
(Fig. 1-1).
The PS200 series features high visibility LED’s, a display
that changes colour from green to red when an alarm is
present, a sounder with a 90dB minimum output and a
vibrating alarm. Users can be confident that, should gas levels
exceed configured threshold limits or a sensor / flow / battery
fault exists, a clear and unmistakeable indication is evident.
