Single-Gas Monitor

INDUSTRIAL SCIENTIFIC CORP. offers the Tango TX1 single-gas monitor, featuring a three-year run time and patent-pending DualSense technology that increases user safety, regardless of bump-test frequency, while reducing overall maintenance costs. Its DualSense technology includes two of the same type of sensor for the detection of the same gas, making users 85 times safer than they would be using a typical single-gas monitor. After the battery can no longer support instrument life, it can be replaced for another three years of continuous operation.
