The bright, large LCD shows real-time gas concentrations and the instrument’s status at all times. The full function self-test verifies sensor, circuitry and battery integrity and activates the audible/visual alarms each time you turn the instrument on. The detector clearly advises the gas hazard present—Low, High, TWA and STEL gas alarm. Recorded TWA, STEL and Peak exposures can be displayed on demand.

GasAlert Extreme provides extraordinary cost of ownership advantages. These include automated calibration, 3-year lithium battery (available in local stores) and simple, one button control. Each of these features lowers your training and maintenance costs. Operated by an advanced microcontroller and an electrochemical sensor, the GasAlert Extreme is equipped with high output audible / visual alarms.

The compact, rugged GasAlert Extreme is designed with the most advanced RFI protection available today. Its IP 66/67 rating means its waterproof to 3ft (fully submerged) and the GasAlert Extreme also features a shock resistance concussion-proof boot. Delivered ready for use, simply clip the instrument to your pocket, belt or hard hat for unequalled protection.
