The GasAlertMicroClip LEL gas monitor from BW Technologies is a personal gas detector that monitors for a broad range of combustible gases, including methane, propane, butane, natural gas and others.
The continuous LCD shows simultaneous gas concentrations from 0-100% LEL (lower explosive limit, the standard way of monitoring the concentration of combustible gases).
Alarming provides 95 dB alarm tone and bright wide-angled alarm bars and has an internal vibrating alarm for high noise areas. LCD Backlight: in alarm (auto) and on demand reactivation.
The unit is powered by a lithium polymer battery with a typical run time of 14 hours. Recharge time is less than 3 hours.
The unit is compatible with the MicroDock II automated docking test and calibration station. The monitor can also be purchased as part of a confined space kit which includes the combustible monitor, plus calibration gas, calibration accessories, flow regulator, hoses and tubing all bundled together in a convenient carry case.

Gas Detector Management Made Easy
The GasAlertMicroClip Soft Tools application is required to configure the GasAlertMicroClip gas detector.
Soft Tools is used to:
- define all of the settings for the sensors
- set the user options
- save settings in a file that can be transferred to additional detectors
- download data and event logs
- retrieve settings from a detector that can be used to configure
additional detectors
- initiate calibrations and bump checks, and
- upgrade firmware
Note: The IR Link is compatible only with Windows 2000 and Windows XP
