Radius® BZ1 Area gas monitor

Radius® BZ1 area gas monitor

The Radius® BZ1 is a next generation area gas monitors. It combines the latest enhanced gas detection technologies (more efficient gas sensors) to outdoor ruggedness (waterproof, multidirectional signal).

The Industrial Scientific Radius® BZ1 has been designed with a very modular structure including a high visibility orange base that looks like a signaling cone and a SafeCore™ module which includes gas sensors and any monitor option (sampling pump, communication module...). Thanks to this architecture, only the SafeCore™ module shall be returned for maintenance or periodical checking...

Industrial Scientific Radius® BZ1area monitor assets

Detect up to seven gases using 15 sensor options including PID

• The most enduring area detector with a typical 7 day run time (168 hours) 
• External intrinsically safe power supply to extend battery run time up to one month 
• Ultra-bright red and blue lights and distinctive tones to alert
• 108 dB at 1 m audible alarm to alert in very noisy environments
• Market’s largest screen on an area gas monitor
• Intuitive configuration and textual navigation
• Customizable action texts in case of alarm such as “EVACUATE” or “VENTILATE”
• LENS™ wireless network (optional) preconfigured requiring no installation of infrastructure
• 360-degree gas path and all-weather sensor deployment for more accurate measure
• The DualSense technology improves safety using two sensors to detect the same gas
