ATi by Badger Meter® D16 PortaSens Portable Gas Leak Detector

ATi PortaSens III MODEL D16 GAS DETECTOR

ATI’s new PortaSens III portable leak detector (Model D16) is ideal for locating leak sources or simply for measuring gas concentrations in the workplace. With a built-in sampling pump and inlet wand, sample is drawn from precise locations where leaks may occur. Areas around valve packing, flanges, compression fittings and other system components are easily checked to find the higher gas levels that exist near the leak site.

The PortaSens III is physically similar to its predecessor, the PortaSens II which has been in service for the past 15 years. The internals of the instrument have been completely redesigned with a modern USB computer interface, a color touch-screen display, and improved pump control. As with the original, the D16 detector has the ability to measure a wide variety of gases by simply inserting the appropriate sensor for that gas. The D16 can use any of over 60 different sensor modules, providing nearly unmatched flexibility. Sensors can be changed quickly and easily without the need for calibration.

Sensors used in the PortaSens III are ATI’s H-Series smart sensor modules. Each sensor module is actually a sensor, amplifier, and memory module in one compact package. Because of this design, sensor modules can be calibrated independently and simply plugged into any detector for immediate use.
When installed in a detector, calibration data is loaded into the microprocessor so that no adjustments are needed. The result is that a detector can, for example, go from phosgene measurement to ammonia measurement in less than one minute.

Features & Benefits

• Interchangeable “Smart Sensors” for gas flexibility
• NEW IR sensors for methane & carbon dioxide
• Internal sample pump
• External sample wand
• 4GB data logging capability
• NiMH or alkaline batteries capability
• Easy to read back-lit color graphics LCD
• No user calibration needed

SMART SENSORS

Each sensor module is factory calibrated at the time of shipment and is ready to use by plugging it into the receptacle in the D16 manifold.
Each module can be used for logging data over minimum and maximum ranges indicated.

Sensor will last 2 to 3 years (depending on use and storage)
