Choosing the portable gas detector for your needs
Gasman is a range of rugged, compact single gas personal monitors designed
for use in the toughest environments.
With rugged impact resistant construction and compliance to IP65, Gasman offers a wide
range of gases, including six flammable calibration options. Gasman gives an unbeatable
combination of powerful loud and bright alarms. Its stunningly compact and lightweight
design makes it ideal for use in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, steel works and
waste and water works.
Gasman is small, light and easy to use. Weighing just 130g, it is extremely durable, with high
impact resistance and dust/water ingress protection to IP65. When potentially hazardous
levels of gas are detected, the Gasman alerts the user with a loud 95 dB alarm, a vivid red/
blue visual warning and also by vibrating.
Gasman features simple, single-button control and has an easy-to-read, backlit LCD display
to ensure clear viewing of gas level readings, alarm conditions and battery life. Data and
event logging are available as standard, and there is a built-in 30 day advance warning when
calibration is due.

*Operating time will depend on operating pattern and alarm occurrence. Frequent or long lasting alarms and use of the optional confidence beep will reduce battery life.
**Toxic and oxygen sensors are not rated for continuous operation at high temperatures. Consult Crowcon if operating temperatures are likely to exceed 40OC (104OF) for extended periods.
Crowcon reserves the right to change the design or specification of the product without notice.
