Description
NEO Monitors new LaserGas™ III NH3 Open Path Gas Detector is specifically designed for service in hazardous areas. Based on our third generation LaserGas™ Technology, the entire instrument is built into compact flameproof enclosures making it fit for zone 1 applications. The LaserGas™ III OP NH3 consists of a transmitter and receiver unit that is mounted diametrically opposite each other at distances up to 100 meters. The laser light is sent from the transmitter to the receiver and any NH3 concentration changes along the optical path from the transmitter to the receiver are detected in real-time.
