PHD6

PHD6

Overview

The PHD6 multi-gas detector is extremely versatile, with 5 sensor ports, up to 6 channels of detection, and 19 sensor options including electrochemical, LEL, PID and Infrared. The PHD6 gas monitor is very durable made of polycarbonate frame with rubber overmold. While still remaining user friendly with it’s one button feild use for basic operations. A manual sample draw kit is included and an optional motorized sample draw pump is available.
