Scout Multi-gas Personal Monitor
The Scott Scout Multigas Portable Monitor is designed to monitor up to five atmospheric hazards simultaneously including oxygen concentration, combustible gases, VOC’s, and a wide selection from nine electrochemical toxic sensors. The automatic backlit LCD provides gas concentration to the operator for all gases monitored. In alarm condition the piercing audible alarm, osculating bright red flashing alarm lights, and flashing gas concentration are automatically activated.
