PortaSens II Leak Detector from
Analytical Technology
The PortaSens II portable gas leak detector is a versatile tool for performing regular leak checks in gas storage areas, around process equipment and piping, or in confined spaces prior to entry. Designed for easy one hand operation, the detector contains an internal sample pump and a flexible sampling wand to allow pinpoint location of the source of leakage. A large character display insures that measured values are easily visible and a backlight for the display insures readability in low or no light conditions.
A unique feature of the PortaSens II is it's ability to measure a variety of different gases by simply inserting the appropriate sensor for that gas. This means that one detector can be used to measure over 30 different gases or vapors, reducing the need to purchase individual detectors for each type of gas. And sensors can be changed quickly and easily without the need for calibration when a sensor change is made.
Sensor used in the PortaSens are ATI's newest miniaturized smart sensor modules. Each sensor module is actually a sensor, amplifier and memory module in one compact package. Because of this design, sensor modules can be calibrated independently and simply plugged into any detector for immediate use. When installed in a detector, calibration data is loaded into the microprocessor so that no adjustments are needed. The result is that a detector can go from phosgene measurement to ammonia measurement in less than one minute.

Ordering Information
The PortaSens II is supplied in a padded carrying case for easy storage and transport. Space is provided for an extra battery plus up to two sensor keepers, which means up to 8 extra sensors ready for immediate use. Each PortaSens II includes the detector, 10" Teflon lined sampling wand, battery charger, spare filters, flowmeter, RS-232 output cable, spare D cell battery and a calibration T fitting. The basic PortaSens II detector does not include sensor modules. Because the PortaSens II is designed to accept any gas sensor, you can select one or more sensor modules. Each sensor module is factory calibrated for the minimum and maximum ranges indicated. The standard factory calibration for the module is listed below. Please choose the sensor below.
