The M40 has been touted by the company as a low cost alternative for simultaneous monitoring and display of any configuration of one to four gases.

The device is now available in the U.S. and will be released in Australia at the end of the month.

The M40’s rugged composite case is immune to radio frequency and electromagnetic interference, and houses four discrete sensors, a large LCD display, and rechargeable lithium-ion battery for up to 18 hours of continuous runtime.

When gas concentrations exceed preset limits, the M40 monitor alerts the user with the bright visual and 90-dB alarms, and activates the internal vibrating alarm for high-noise environments.

Standard features include a continuous loop datalogger, peak/hold functions, STEL and TWA readings and ‘Quick Cal’ calibration.

Each M40 monitor comes equipped with a charger, nylon carrying case, cell-phone belt clip and calibration cup with tubing. Available accessories include SP40 motorized remote sampling pump, 12 VDC automobile charger, M40 datalink, and complete confined space kits.

The M40 monitors carry the UL and CSA approvals for Class I, Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations, and Cenelec (ATEX) and Australian certification approvals (Ex ia IIC T4).
