Gas detectors

Are you looking for gas monitors for confined spaces? Typically, confined spaces are poorly ventilated, and due to a limited air flow, a confined space might contain toxic, flammable, or even explosive gases that workers need proper protection from. As a result, workers in confined spaces should always equip themselves with gas detectors. Here at Comtec Carl Backs, you can find different high-quality gas detectors for different purposes. In case you want to learn more about our gas detectors, we have gathered some of the most important information here.

Why do you need gas detectors?

In many cases, people are able to detect gas leaks by simply using their sense of smell. In our everyday lives, we are used to being able to detect different types of gas quite quickly, such as methane, natural gas, propane and butane. In nature however, all of these gases are in fact odourless but have artificial smell added to them in order to make them detectable.

The importance of gas detectors for confined spaces

When working in confined spaces, there is a risk of exposure to different kinds of gases that are not easily detectable by smell, e.g. carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, or methane. As a result, gas detectors have crucial importance for the safety of workers in confined spaces.

Gas detectors are often required by law or regulations in order to protect worker safety. Accordingly, it is important to select a model that is appropriate for the hazards of the specific confined space and to properly calibrate the detector using a docking station to ensure accurate readings.

Gas detectors from WatchGas

Our selection of gas detectors consists of high-quality products from WatchGas. WatchGas are a well-renowned producer of gas detection equipment, and whether you need single or multigas detectors, we have a number of different options to choose from as well as docking stations for calibration.

PDM single gas detector

With the WatchGas PDM single gas detector, what you get is a highly reliable, user-friendly and yet cost-effective gas detector. The PDM operates for up to two years, and when turned on, the device will run continuously without needing battery charging or replacing of other components. Other features include:

Water and dust resistant case
Man-down alarm
Easy access pump, sensor, filter, and battery
Over 30 interchangeable sensor options

PDM+ single gas detector

The WatchGas PDM+ is a sustainable single gas detector for personal gas protection. Besides detecting presences of toxic gases nearby, the PDM+ also monitors oxygen deficiency and has a replaceable battery and sensor. Other features include:

Lightweight and compact design
Visual, acoustic and vibration alarms
Stores up to 30 events

QGM multigas monitor

With the QGM multigas monitor from WatchGas, you can keep your staff safe from up to four different gases, i.e. oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and combustible gases. When detecting dangerous concentrations of gas, the QGM alerts using a 90 dB acoustic alarm, flashing LEDs, and vibration. Other features include:

Adjustable alarm levels
Battery up to two months
Data log for two months plus
Displays actual gas concentrations

POLI multigas detector

The POLI from WatchGas is an advanced instrument that not only detects gas and oxygen deficiencies but also offers a full range of sensors for maximal worker protection in confined spaces. The POLI is both robust and user-friendly, and with its man-down alarm, it will alert nearby personnel when the user stops moving. Other features include:

State-of-the-art wireless technology
Simple, intuitive two button user interface
Over 30 interchangeable sensor options
