BM25

• Transportable area monitor 1-5 gases
• Interchangeable “smart” sensors
• Run-time up to 170 hours
• Standard datalogging

Capable of monitoring from one to five gases through diffusion or sample draw, the BM25 packs the benefits of a fixed-system area monitor into an easily transportable, yet rugged instrument.

Designed for team protection or area surveillance, the unit is most suitable for perimeter monitoring, rig overhauls, and mobile or short-term work in areas where fixed detection systems are not suitable.

There are 17 interchangeable “smart” sensor options available for the BM25, making the system easily adaptable to a variety of applications and industries. When the BM25 detects a hazardous level of oxygen, toxic or combustible gas, the top-mounted beacon sends a flashing, bright signal in all directions while emitting a powerful, 103 dB siren alarm.

The BM25 can be used as a stand-alone monitor or wired so that alarm signals transfer from one unit to another. This setup can create a safety perimeter around a detected atmospheric hazard, or transmit a manually initiated emergency signal over a wide area.

The BM25 comes standard with a high capacity nickelmetal-hydride battery pack offering up to 170 hours of continuous runtime. Long-term area monitoring is possible in hazardous locations with an intrinsically safe trickle charge power supply. Also standard are STEL and TWA readings and nearly four months of datalogging capacity for a five-gas configuration.

Feature
Benefit
Interchangeable/field replaceable sensors
Provides flexibility of monitoring in a variety of applications. Reduces operating costs and downtime associated with instrument/sensor service. 
 
 
High capacity nickel-metal-hydride battery pack
Provides long runtimes, up to 170 hours, in continuous monitoring applications.
 
Intrinsically safe remote power supply
Provides for continuous runtime in hazardous locations through connection to 110/230 volt power mains in a safe area. 
 
 
Simultaneous display of all gases monitored
Provides confidence and ease of use for the operator to view all gas readings immediately at a single glance and allows for uninterrupted work time.
  
103dB @ 1meter audible alarm
Produces clear warning of unsafe conditions in high noise area monitoring applications and environments. 
 
 
Ultra-bright 360º visual alarm beacon
Twenty ultra-bright LEDs provide clear visual indication of alarms, viewable in all environments, from all directions. 
  
Stand-up design
Allows unit to be placed on any flat surface to provide stand-alone area surveillance and protection. 
  
Concave face design and construction
Ensures that sensors are protected and not blocked from the atmosphere in the event that the instrument is knocked on its face or side in a chaotic work environment. 
  
Optional external parasitic sampling pump
Allows the monitor to be used both for remote sampling applications in confined spaces providing clear alarm signaling to the area outside of the confined space. 
  
Dual output relays
Allow for connection to remote alarm and fault indication devices to provide additional warning indications in continuous area monitoring applications. 
  
Alarm transfer function
Allows units to function as alarm relay devices, communicating dangerous conditions to workers in a surrounding environment. 
  
Manual alarm activation input
Provides ability for manual activation of the unit’s alarm in a work area to request emergency assistance or signal other works of dangerous conditions. 
  
Continuous datalogging and STEL/TWA functions
Provides real-time data exposure analysis and record keeping. Allows unit to be used in an area to collect industrial hygiene survey data as well as provide area protection and surveillance. 
 
IP66 Ingress Protection rating
Allows unit to be used for continuous monitoring applications in harsh outdoor environments without damage from dust and water.
