G100 Incubator CO2 Analyser Meets Researched User Demands
From independent research among user, Geotech (UK) has designed its new G100 incubator CO2 analyser. The G100 is an easy-to-use, handheld CO2 analyser with increased accuracy in the 0-20 percent range and a bright, easily read display. Reading are stable thanks to inbuilt moisture removal. Timesaving twin-probes check incubator top and bottom temperatures and difference simultaneously. Increased memory holds 1000 readings. Option include O2 and / or RH analysis, temperatures probes, data logging, and USB-link software to download data, analyse and export it – and to enable internet file exchange with Geotech technical and customer support.
Research has ensured the G100 analyser is fully operable and configurable from its keypad and screen. Routine, back-to-factory service and re-calibration is recommended once a year. When due, the analyzer displays a time-for-service warning but continuous to work normally.
An optional ‘USB-link cable and G100 software package’ support PC and Internet connectivity. This enables data download to a PC of the event log, user calibration and the data set for analysis, graphing, secure archiving and, if necessary, exporting to spreadsheet, word processors or e-mails. To assist users anywhere in the world, the USB-PC link and G100 software allow user settings also to be downloaded as a PC file and e-mailed to Geotech for technical support and troubleshooting. This assists remote diagnostics and service support worldwide avoiding unnecessary return to factory. It also helps ensure continued use and minimal downtime and limits time-zone lag. If necessary, the analyzer firmware can be ‘flashed’ with a new Geotech software release, via website downloaded, for continuous improvement.

Play the Percentages Game!
With budgets under pressure everywhere, the good news is that Casella (UK) is offering customers an incentive to upgrade their monitoring instrumentation.
An old for new replacement scheme can save users up to 30% on new replacements, plus the company is offering a 50% reduction on its Microdust to encourage SHE professionals to work with real time dust data. Real time dust monitoring allows you to quickly assess workplace and individual tasks for inhalation hazards enabling you to make instants decisions, rather than waiting days for retrospective gravimetric data gained from traditional personal air samplers. The 50% discount applies to all Microdust Real time Dust Monitors and Dust Detective area monitoring unit.
Although the old for new replacement scheme does not apply to already discounted products, it does bring substantial savings to all other Casella monitoring technology when old product in any condition and from any manufactures are traded in for disposal. The saving of up 30% are available on equipment such as sound level meters, dust monitors and air sampling pumps, and should enable SHE Professional to proceed with necessary equipment upgrades despite budgetary limitations imposed upon them.

AirSentry II – Airborne Molecular Contamination monitor
Particle Measuring System (USA) Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) monitor, the AirSentry II, was designed for high sensitivity, speed, and low cost. Building upon the original AirSentry-IMS system, the new Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) cell provides ppt sensitivity, fast response, and increased selectivity. Continuous coverage of a critical monitoring point and a central software platform allow for easy data acquisition and analysis.
Current monitoring techniques, most evolving from a strategy of adapting old technology to contamination applications, are proving inadequate as critical dimensions shrink and lithography tools increase their exposure energy. Problem such as lack of time resolution, sample transport contamination, and insufficient sensitivity have become increasingly problematic. Working to resolve these inadequacies, the AirSentry II continuously monitors a critical point with the highest sensitivity offered in a low cost, point-of-use AMC monitor.

The Pulsar Instrument – Ultra Simple Sound Level Meter
Combining computer technology with ultra simple operation, the Pulsar Instruments (UK) sound level meter model 14 is an entry level instrument intended to be used primarily for factory surveys to enable employers to meet the “Noise at Work” regulations at the lowest possible cost.
As well as simplicity in operation, particular attention has been paid to the display and a new design of LCD has been used with very high legibility in all light conditions. The unit has not only the A-frequency-weighting required by the EU directive, but as well, C- Frequency-weighting, both with F-time-weighting or what was traditionally called ‘Fast response’.
The intent of the model 14 is to carry out an initial survey of factories and other workplace where the noise levels are not expected to be very high. If during and initial survey, no noise level is found that is over say 75dBA, no worker can be exposed to dangerous noise levels and the employer can be confident that he is fully compliant with the current regulations. Even if one or more slightly higher levels are found, these can be avoided or a more complex Leq meter can be used to quantify the average level, or a Personal Sound Exposure meter such as the Pulsar Model 22 ‘doseBadge’ used to measure the noise exposure of individual workers. A high sensitivity range is also fitted, going down to 35 decibels to allow noise to be checked at the boundary of any premises to ensure that noise is not escaping from a workplace.
A major problem with measuring noise accurately for the purposes of the EU directive is the presence of many ultra low cost units, intended for hi-fi. That can be bought from many non-professional retail outlets, but these are simply not suitable for measuring industrial noise as they have not been checked for accuracy and in general cannot be officially approved. Model 14 is normally supplied as a kit including a calibrator – mandated by the Directive as well as the operating manual etc, housed in a carrying pouch and fully complies with the latest International standards IEC 61672 at Class 2 level as well as the older IEC 60651 Type 2.lt therefore offers the lowest cost fully compliant meter available on the European market.
Pulsar Instruments plc have been manufacturing high quality sound measuring equipment since 1969, in the USA and Uk and offer their standard 2 – year warranty with model 14 that can be extended at no cost, when the instrument is regularly calibrated.

Remote Monitoring in Hazardous Areas via GPRS
R.STAHL's (Germany) 9719-type GSM/GPRS modem, which combines a robust design with state-of-the-art technology and easy installation, allows users to fully benefit from the advantages of GSM/GPRS data communication in zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas for the first time. Designed as a quad-band device, the 9719 modem is suitable for use in process plants in virtually all world regions.
Thanks to IP67 protection, the unit can be installed in outdoor areas without an additional enclosure. The SIM card holder and the antenna interface are instrinsically safe (Ex i), thus enabling users to safely change SIM card or install antennas in hazardous areas. The modem is directly connected to a PLC, an industrial PC or an OpenHMI via an RS232 interface. It comes with a wide range of functions which can be easily controlled via the same AT command set as conventional modems for standard industry applications. An LED display continuously indicates the modem status.
GSM/GPRS data communication has many uses in the process industry, e.g. monitoring unmanned pumping stations, remote tank farms or machines such as centrifuges or compressors. Users benefit not only from the fact that this communication technology is ideally suited for mobile applications : additionally, GPRS allows for the establishment of cost-efficient data connections which inform users about the status of plants or the fill level of tanks. Communication is thereby rendered independent from the infrastructure installed on location, and unlike WLAN technology, no longer requires users to implement their own radio network. R.STAHL supplies two versions of the modem, one integrated into a stainless steel enclosure, the other featuring a GRP enclosure. This design facalitates installation in the field.
