POLI N2O Portable nitrous oxide detector

The portable nitrous oxide detector POLI N2O is a variation of the portable detector WatchGas POLI. It can receive up to 3 other cells among more than 30 interchangeable sensors that can turn it into a 6-gas detector: catalytic cell for flammable gases, infrared for explosive gases and carbon dioxide (CO2), electrochemical for toxic gases and photoionization PID lamp for volatile organic compounds.

Main assets of the portable N2O detector

• Allows accurate verification of nitric oxide exposure thresholds (nitrous oxide)
• Integrated pump switch for use in diffusion or aspiration mode
• Calculation of the average exposure value and the time weighted average (TWA) 
• Large backlighting LCD display with "Flip" function
• Light, sound and vibration alarm + "Man down" alarm
• Data archiving and retrieval for analysis
• Versatile and easy to use device that can detect up to 6 gases simultaneously

Fields of application of the nitrous oxide detector

• Hospital operating rooms
• Dental officies 
• Veterinary clinics 
• Agro-industries (nitrogen fertilization)
• Wastewater treatment
• Road pollution (vehicules equipped with catalytic converters)
• Combustion of organic and fossil materials
