Supplier's note

  1. Three Technical Breakthroughs:

    • SIL3 Compliance (Pro Model): Enables use in high-hazard zones like offshore drilling platforms.
    • IP68 Rating: Submersion resistance up to 1m for 30 minutes, ideal for flood-prone industrial sites.
    • Dual-Alarm System (Advanced/Pro): Combines audible and visual alerts to ensure detection in noisy or dark environments.
  2. Optimal Version Selection:

    • Base Model (4X): Best for routine inspections in low-risk areas (e.g., warehouses).
    • Advanced Model (5X): Suitable for mid-tier hazards (e.g., chemical storage facilities) needing connectivity for real-time data logging.
    • Pro Model (4XR): Required for high-risk scenarios like oil rig maintenance, where extended battery life and SIL3 certification are critical.

With the Pro’s triple-certified chemical resistance and 48-hour runtime, teams can safely handle prolonged exposure to toxic gas leaks. Pair its Wi-Fi connectivity with cloud-based monitoring for centralized risk management.
