Setting a New Standard: PM500 Multi-Gas Monitor with Built-In Pump

In industries where worker safety is paramount, the ability to monitor multiple hazardous gases simultaneously is crucial. Macurco’s PM500 multi-gas monitor is a game-changer in the world of portable gas detection, offering advanced features that combine reliability, ease of use, and rugged durability for those working in confined spaces or hazardous environments.

A Powerful, Multi-Gas Monitoring Solution

The PM500 is Macurco's newest addition to the AimSafety portable gas solution lineup. Designed with worker protection in mind, this state-of-the-art device integrates a strong internal sampling pump, allowing it to measure up to six gases at once. This is particularly useful in confined spaces, where the range of potential hazards is often greater and the space itself makes gas sampling more challenging.

With its rugged design, the PM500 is built to withstand the tough conditions found in industries such as oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage facilities, gas storage, waste disposal, and more. Its portability and versatility make it an ideal tool for a wide range of applications, from routine gas detection in industrial settings to safety checks in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas.

Continuous Monitoring with Real-Time Alerts

The PM500 is equipped with several key features to ensure user safety at all times. It includes audible, visual, and vibrating alarms that trigger when unsafe gas concentrations are detected, ensuring that workers are immediately alerted to potential dangers.

The monitor's large, backlit LCD provides real-time gas concentration readings, making it easy for users to assess the environment at a glance. The display also offers configurable alarm setpoints for low, high, Short-Term Exposure Limits (STEL), and Time-Weighted Averages (TWA), allowing users to tailor the settings to the specific requirements of their workplace.

Versatile Gas Detection Capabilities

The PM500 is pre-configured to monitor a range of key target gases commonly found in hazardous environments. These include:

• Carbon Monoxide (CO)

• Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)

• Oxygen (O2)

• Combustible gases

  
  

Beyond the standard gases, the PM500 also offers the option to detect additional gases, such as:

• Ammonia (NH3)

• Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)

• Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)

• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

• Hydrogen

This level of flexibility makes the PM500 a valuable tool for industries like oil and gas, CNG vehicle barns, food production, and waste disposal, where exposure to multiple hazardous gases is a concern.

Advanced Features for Robust Performance

The PM500 is designed to handle tough environments, providing a variety of features that enhance both performance and convenience:

• Sampling-Type Monitor with Embedded Pump: The built-in pump ensures the monitor can take samples from hard-to-reach areas, such as confined spaces or enclosed environments.

• Quick Connector: This makes it easy to connect the monitor to standard 3ft. tubing or an optional sampling probe.

• IP67 Rating: With an IP67 rating, the PM500 is dust-tight and water-resistant, ensuring it operates reliably in the harshest conditions.

• Continuous Runtime: The device offers up to 5 days of continuous runtime (on the IR version), making it ideal for long shifts or extended use.

• IR Sensor Technology: The infrared (IR) sensor is immune to poisoning, making it suitable for use in inert environments where traditional sensors may fail.

• Intrinsically Safe: The PM500 is intrinsically safe, meeting the stringent safety requirements for use in hazardous locations.

• Event & Data Logging: The monitor includes event and data logging features, allowing for easy tracking and documentation of gas readings and alarm events.

Protecting Workers, Protecting the Environment

Whether you are monitoring gases in a chemical plant, an oil refinery, a pharmaceutical facility, or any other hazardous environment, the PM500 offers an advanced, reliable, and easy-to-use solution for worker safety. With its robust design, comprehensive gas detection capabilities, and user-friendly interface, the PM500 is an essential tool for ensuring a safe working environment.

Macurco's PM500 is setting a new standard in portable gas detection. By offering both rugged durability and advanced technology in one easy-to-use package, the PM500 empowers workers and safety managers to confidently enter confined spaces and tackle hazardous environments, all while staying protected from potentially life-threatening gas exposure.
