Breathing / Rescue Air Contamination Monitors
The dangers associated with breathing contaminated air are also well known and especially critical when using SCBA tanks in emergency situations.
Sigma Sensing has solutions for individual or multiple contaminant monitoring of breathing or rescue air.
Occupational Safety and Health regulations require procedures to ensure adequate quality of breathing air contained in breathing apparatus (SCBA).
SCBA is a device worn by rescue workers, firefighters, paramedics and others working for example on ships & oil rigs to provide breathable air in an immediately dangerous to life or health
atmosphere (IDLH).
Sigma Sensing is offering for this purpose a fixed installation unit of the Sigma95H-B series with display that can monitor the correct levels of CO2 and CO (NOx optional) in the air system. The
unit which is designed for industrial applications is using a long life NDIR CO 2 sensor and an electrochemical CO sensor for this purpose.. The sensors monitor the air in ambient pressure as the
compressed air pressure is reduced to ambient pressure for air sampling in a low pressure measurement chamber.
Version Sigma 95H-B-A with an alarm beacon and the alarm setting freely configurable is also available.
