The photo-ionization sensor detects volatile organic compounds or VOCs and can be added to a standard four gas configuration or combined with non-standard combinations of other sensors. Offers maximum versatility in a portable multi-gas detector that can be used almost anywhere. Five gases can be monitored and displayed at the same time. Lock your instruments settings allowing only authenticated personnel to change your settings.
