Latest success attributed to launch of Falco series of fixed continuous VOC monitors and MiniPID 2 sensor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Further reinforcing its position at the forefront of gas detection instrumentation for global occupational health and environmental monitoring applications, Ion Science has doubled sales of its high performance fixed photoionisation detectors (PIDs) compared to 2015. This latest success is being attributed to the launch of the company\u2019s Falco<\/a> series of fixed continuous volatile organic compound (VOC) monitors and MiniPID 2 sensor earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Duncan Johns, Managing Director at Ion Science comments: \u201cWe continue to see the industry respond favourably to our latest innovations in gas detection instrumentation. This increase in sales of our fixed PIDs reflects the breadth of knowledge in the business and the proven success of our sensor technology. It also underlines our commitment to driving new product development for the on-going protection of workers, plant and the environment. Finishing the year in such a great position provides an excellent platform for further growth in 2017\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n

About the Falco<\/h3>\n

Falco is the latest generation of fixed VOC detectors that continuously detect a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using patented photoionisation detection (PID) technology.<\/p>\n

Unique to this fixed VOC detector is its revolutionary \u2018typhoon technology\u2019 safeguarding the PID sensor from condensing moisture for added reliability in severe weather conditions. In addition, the PID sensor incorporates patented Fence Electrode Technology, which virtually removes the effects of airborne humidity and\u00a0protects from contamination.<\/p>\n

The Falco VOC detector gives you cutting-edge performance; reliability, accuracy and results you can trust so you can be sure workforce and plant receive on-going maximum protection. With its humidity resistance and anti-contamination design drift is minimised and run-time extended, saving both time and cost to your business.<\/p>\n

Offering the ultimate in safety, Falco eliminates false readings found with other competing PID technology. Its multi-coloured LED status display can be seen from a distance of twenty metres in sunlight ensuring you are clearly alerted to hazards present.<\/p>\n

Falco has an externally located Intrinsically Safe sensor for quick and easy servicing without the need for a hot work permit. Dual certification allows Falco to be serviced and calibrated in a hazardous environment without having to remove power.<\/p>\n

Simple to operate the Falco fixed VOC detector has an intuitive user interface. It has five magnetic switches with LED confirmation, a high contrast OLED screen and graphical interface ensuring installation and servicing are both quick and easy.<\/p>\n

RS485 (Modbus\u00ae), 4-20 mA and Relay outputs are standard for all models. The Relay outputs are configurable for either high and low alarms, fault conditions or test cycle synchronisation.<\/p>\n

The Falco fixed VOC detector offers the ultimate in flexibility and can be purchased as one of four detection ranges in either a pumped or diffused variant. With a diffused model, servicing costs are kept to a minimum with no pump to maintain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
