GDA – Personal

The Gas Detector Array - Personal is a compact portable detector offering detection and identification of chemical warfare agents, chemical hazardous gases and toxic industrial compounds within seconds.

Especially designed for the enhanced personal protection in potentially dangerous environments.

The simultaneous detection with the integrated Ion Mobility Spectrometer (IMS) and either an Electrochemical Cell (EC) or a Photo Ionization Detector (PID) provides a high level of safety by detecting a wide range of Chemical WArface's (CWA’s) and Toxic Industrial Chemical's (TIC).

Depending on the current threat the GDA-P shows name and concentration. Up to two chemicals are indicated from the current sensor information. A bar graph quickly informs about the current chemical load in sampled air.

LED lights at the top indicate the current alarming status without the need for operator interference. Acoustic alarming is integrated.

The self-cleaning mode of the GDA-P allows the instrument to be ready for the next measurement, without interruption time.

Important features of the GDA-P
