SafeCore™ Module
The removable SafeCore Module is a proven, field-tested, and trusted technology utilized by the Radius™ BZ1 to detect hazards in critical safety applications. This cartridge-like piece of equipment enables your Industrial Scientific area monitor to detect up to 7 hazards simultaneously from a library of 24 sensor options, and is available in both aspirated and diffusion versions.
Built for Flexible Detection
The removable SafeCore Module is a cartridge-like piece of equipment that houses a variety of sensors used for gas and radiation detection in Industrial Scientific’s line of area monitoring devices. Supporting up to 6 sensor slots and detection of up to seven hazards simultaneously, this product allows you to customize your gas detection options using a variety of sensor types that include:

- Electrochemical, for toxic gases
- Catalytic bead, for combustible gases
- Infrared (IR), for CO₂ and hydrocarbons
- Photoionization detectors (PID), for VOCs
- Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS), for combustible gases
- Radiation for gamma radiation
These swappable modules are essential to the operation of our portfolio of area monitoring devices - the Radius BZ1, and in the future, the Vector AM7. Automate maintenance and data management from one convenient place by pairing your SafeCore with a DSX Docking station. Utilizing this pairing to bump test or calibrate your SafeCore Modules allows you to keep your Radius BZ1s in the field longer and simplifies maintenance.
SafeCore Modules are available in diffusion and aspirated configurations to support a wide range of monitoring scenarios. Choose the right sampling method for open-air environments, confined spaces, or remote sampling needs without changing platforms or compromising sensor selection.
Diffusion SafeCore

Aspirated SafeCore

In addition to supporting a library of 24 sensor options, the SafeCore Module also enables LENS™ Wireless peer-to-peer communications between enabled devices, and connectivity to RGX™ Gateways for cloud connectivity when used with the Radius BZ1 area monitor.
SafeCore Module + Radius BZ1
The Radius BZ1 area monitor is a rugged device that detects up to seven gases simultaneously using a swappable SafeCore Module. Featuring loud alarms, high visibility, bold LED lights, and LENS Wireless connectivity, this area monitor was built for the most challenging environments.
