Overview

CH4, CO, H2S, LEL, NO2, SO2 , O2

Configured for your safety, the Ventis™ MX4 takes your gas detection program to the next level.

  • Detect from one to four gases with a wide range of sensor options
  • Draw samples from up to 100 feet with an optional, integrated sampling pump
  • Gain increased instrument visibility with a safety orange overmold
  • Realize true portability with multi-gas protection in single-gas size
  • Use the extended range battery for up to 20 hours (without pump)
  • Discover a better way to do gas detection with the Ventis on iNet

 

Feature Benefit
Overmolded composite construction Rugged design provides exceptional durability in harsh, industrial environments
Compact size and weight Multi-gas protection in single-gas size enables true portability as a personal monitor when used with or without the pump
IP66/67 Certified Ensures that the monitor can withstand use in extremely dusty and wet applications
One to four-gas configurations Allows you to select and expand your sensor configuration to meet your monitoring needs at any time
Broad sensor measuring ranges Measuring ranges for carbon monoxide to 1000 ppm, hydrogen sulfide to 500 ppm, nitrogen dioxide to 150 ppm and sulfur dioxide to 150 ppm provide the ability to see changes in hazardous conditions beyond normal monitoring ranges
Interchangeable lithium-ion and alkaline battery packs Rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs offer day-to-day use for up to 12 hours continuously, while alkaline batteries provide an emergency backup power supply or an alternative primary power source for applications where instruments are used less frequently
Lithium-ion extended range battery pack Rechargeable lithium-ion extended range battery packs offer day-to-day use for up to 20 hours continuously when using the instrument without the pump
Integrated sample-draw operation One instrument can be carried for continuous monitoring or be used with the integrated sampling pump for sample-draw applications such as confined space entry testing
Optional language instrument Available in English, French and German with predominantly icon-driven displays for ease of use by a diverse workforce
PEAK reading storage Provides quick access to an on-screen review of highest exposure conditions after alarm events without the need to download datalogged information
On-board continuous datalogging Storage of a minimum of three months of sensor data allows for routine review of gas exposures, revealing areas of safety concern and potential improvement
Audible, visual and vibrating alarms 95 dB audible, ultra bright visual and strong vibration alarms provide multiple clear warnings in high-noise, low-light conditions
Programmable bump test mode Prompts user to bump test instrument on a regular basis and provides an alarm that prevents use if bump test has not been performed at the desired interval
Calibration overdue alarm Prompts user and prevents normal use if instrument has not been calibrated within the prescribed timeframe
STEL and TWA readings and alarms Short-term and time-weighted average exposure measurements and alarms allow users to potentially set instantaneous alarms at higher levels, allowing work to continue safely while still providing alarms in conditions of prolonged exposure at lower gas concentrations
Quick-Cal calibration mode Saves time and money by allowing all sensors to be calibrated simultaneously using one cylinder of blended calibration gas
DS2 Docking Station™ compatible Provides automatic calibration, bump testing, instrument diagnostics and record keeping, simplifying instrument management while you concentrate on other tasks; Just dock it – and walk away
iNet™ Ready Gives you Gas Detection as a Service on the world’s premier instrument management system. iNet provides factory monitoring and servicing of your gas detection fleet without the need to purchase a single piece of equipment.
Available in Safety Orange Bright orange overmold enables increased visibility in dark, confined spaces
