Description
ION Science FALCO 2 Fixed VOC Gas Detector
The ION Science FALCO 2 is a pioneering fixed continuous gas detector. It is designed to provide accurate and reliable volatile organic compound (VOC) detection in potentially explosive, harsh industrial environments. Engineered specifically for safety and environmental protection, this robust gas detector ensures total peace of mind for oil and gas, refinery, and petrochemical operations. Trusting your readings is critical in these settings.
Equipped with world-class MiniPID 2 technology, the FALCO 2 effectively mitigates the risk of false readings using patented Fence Electrode and anti-contamination designs. Its standout feature is the integrated Typhoon Technology. This technology prevents condensing moisture from forming within the PID sensor. It ensures uninterrupted, top-tier performance even in extreme outdoor conditions or areas with 0 to 100% relative humidity.
