Revolutionary Photoionisation Detector for Volatile Organic Compounds

The ground breaking PhoCheck Tiger photoionisation detector (PID) from Ion Science, rapidly detects volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from 1 parts per billion (ppb) to 20,000 parts per million (ppm).

A significant development in PID, the instrument’s powerful software and performance features set new industry standards for hand held VOC detection.

PhoCheck Tiger has the fastest response time on the market of just two seconds, and is just as quick to clear down. The instrument can be connected directly to a PC via the USB and has extremely fast data download capabilities.

The Tiger has been designed for the safe replacement of batteries in hazardous environments. Long life rechargeable Li-ion batteries give up to 30 hours of use. Fast battery charging allows the instrument to be fully charged in 6.5 hours, while 8 hours of use can be achieved from 1.5 hours charge.

The Tiger’s patented Fence Electrode Technology has received independent verification for best performing PID for speed, accuracy and exceptional performance in high humidity environments.

The unique six pin miniPID detector cell with anti-contamination design dramatically extends run time in the field. Low cost filters and lamps can be easily changed in seconds, minimising instrument downtime. Inexpensive disposable parts mean PhoCheck Tiger has the lowest running costs on the market.

The Tiger is a fully upgradeable instrument with multiple functions to choose from. A base unit can be upgraded with data logging, health and safety and ppb options, remotely, without needing to be returned to the factory.

The instrument is simple to use and can be operated with one hand. Its rugged design and protective, removable rubber boot withstand the harshest environments. The large, clear back-lit display allows for easy viewing in any light condition. An integrated torch is designed for directing the instrument’s probe into dimly lit areas.

Simple key pad operation and icon driven menu mean ease of use across global markets. The illuminated software keys are large enough to be operated even when wearing the thickest gloves.

The instrument has two 95 bBA audible alarms, two bright flashing LEDs and a vibration alarm. Each function can be selected, switched off or turned down as required.

ATEX and IECEx approved, PhoCheck Tiger is certified as intrinsically safe for use in hazardous areas. Designed to IP65, the rugged PhoCheck Tiger provides optimal resistance to moisture, dust and contamination.

Target industries and applications for PhoCheck Tiger include Industrial Safety, Environmental, Petrochemical, Chemical, Indoor Air Quality, and Hazardous Materials. The instrument is available from Ion Science or its global network of distributors and comes with a five year warranty.
