MEGA-CHANNEL
Gas Detector
Model IQ1000 |
| Description |
 |
The
Matheson Model IQ1000 is a very unique gas detection instrument
offering features not found in any other portable multi-channel
monitor. Its innovative technology gives you the flexibility to
monitor for more than 100 gases and vapors, without having to
change sensors. |
| While the
IQ1000 is a 1-4 channel instrument that can accommodate several
types of sensors, units equipped with the MEGA-Gas sensor
offer an exclusive "Gas Search'' feature. This innovation
enables the IQ1000 to scan the air to quickly determine if any
of more than 100 gases or vapors are present. Additionally, the
IQ1000 contains a library of calibration curves so the MEGA-Gas
sensor can be set to monitor for a particular gas or vapor. |
| The IQ1000
is an intelligent, microprocessor based instrument that is
operated through easy to follow menu driven controls. The
viewing screen is a large 8 line, 40 character per line LCD
supertwist display, with backlight switch and display contrast
adjustment for easy viewing in any lighting condition. |
| The IQ1000
furnishes three user-adjustable alarm setpoints (low, mid, high)
for each sensor, with both audible and visual alarm indicators.
An alarm acknowledgement function silences the audible alarm
while keeping the visual alarm active as long as the alarm
condition exists. |
| An optional
data logging feature stores months of readings for all four
sensors, which can easily be downloaded to a printer or computer
at a later date using its RS 232 serial interface. The IQ1000's
optional data management software allows you to plot accumulated
data and calculate time weighted averages. Data can also be
exported to your favorite spreadsheet. |
| The IQ1000
will operate approximately 20 hours on its standard six size D
alkaline batteries, or 14 hours on optional rechargeable NiCad
batteries. The amount of battery power remaining is monitored on
the LCD display. |
| Other
features include touch of a button calibration, a built-in
sampling pump with sampling wand, and weatherproof case. UL
Intrinsic Safety Approval for use in Class 1, Division 1, Group
B, C, D locations is pending. |
| Sensor
Technologies |
The
IQ1000 can accommodate several kinds of sensor technologies.
Which ones to select depends upon your application requirements.
The revolutionary MEGA-Gas Sensor is a specially
developed solid state sensor capable of detecting over 100 gases
and vapors. While it cannot readily differentiate between these
gases, the MEGA-Gas sensor does enable you to perform a
"Gas Search'' of the air, as described above. In addition,
because the IQ1000 is microprocessor controlled with 256K
memory, it contains a complete library of the setup and
calibration parameters for all 100+ gases that the
MEGA-Gas sensor can detect. At the touch of a button, you can
configure the instrument to monitor specifically for any one of
these gases, and can then switch gases as frequently as you like
without changing any sensors. See the table below for the
MEGA-Gas sensor gas list. |
| Any
of the more than 140 gas specific Solid
State Sensors can be selected to provide more selective
gas detection than the MEGA-Gas solid state sensor. |
| Electrochemical
Sensors, a popular sensor used in many gas detection
instruments, can also be accommodated by the IQ1000. Choose from
11 available gases and vapors (ranges in ppm): |
Ammonia (0-50, 0-100)
Carbon Monoxide (0-50, 0-100)
Chlorine (0-5, 0-10)
Hydrogen (0-500)
Hydrogen Chloride (0-25)
Hydrogen Cyanide (0-25)
Hydrogen Sulfide (0-20, 0-50)
Nitric Oxide (0-50)
Nitrogen Dioxide (0-10)
Oxygen (0-25%)
Sulfur Dioxide (0-10, 0-20)
|
 |
For
combustibles, a Catalytic Bead Sensor is available to
detect for LEL levels of most combustible gases and vapors. |
| While
there are hundreds of sensor combinations, keep the following
guidelines in mind when customizing your Model IQ1000 detector:
Channels 1 and 2 can be equipped with any of the four sensor
types listed; Channels 3 and 4 can only be equipped with
electrochemical sensors. |
