The RAID-AFM is a gas trace detector for the detection of Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC’s) and Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA’s). It provides secured facility protection and surveillance.
Special features
- Automatic polarity switching for the detection of TIC's and CWA's by high-speed reversible voltage source
- Ion mobility spectrometer tube characterized by excellent analytical reproducibility and performance
- Excellent interference rejection by ammonia dopant
- Sophisticated internal data analysis with substance identification capability
Embedded web-interface, no additional software required- Floating contacts for direct integration into security and protection systems
- Automatic overload control protects the sensor by switching the gas flow from air sampling to back flushing and back to operation
Applications
- Early warning tool for civil and industrial applications
- Long term monitoring of ambient air of endangered areas for the presence of hazardous compounds
- Integration into air-conditioning and fire safety systems
- Control of working place pollutants
- Operator protection for hazardous waste site inspections
- Operation as stand-alone instrument or several instruments can be networked
