GasAlertMicro 5
Five-Gas Detector for H2S, CO, O2, SO2, PH3, NH3, NO2, HCN, Cl2, ClO2, O3 and Combustibles

With a comprehensive range of features and functions, GasAlertMicro 5 has set a new benchmark in multi-gas detection. At just 7.3 oz., the rugged GasAlertMicro 5 is unrivalled in performance and value-added affordability.

GasAlertMicro 5 portable gas detector simultaneously monitors and displays up to five potential atmospheric hazards including oxygen, combustible gases and a range of toxic gases. Compact and lightweight, GasAlertMicro 5 adds multi-gas detection to our water-resistant line of detectors. Audible, visual and vibrator alarms activate in the event of a low, high, TWA or STEL alarm condition. An optional motorized pump is available.

Beyond features that come standard such as confidence beep, full function self test, automatic calibration and passcode protection, GasAlertMicro 5 offers an extended selection of user-settable field options now including: stealth mode, backlight options, selectable ppm resolution, STEL / TWA measurement choice, combustible correction factor options, user-settable calibration gas concentrations and multi-language support.
