New handheld material identification system


for first responders Metrohm recently to announce the release of its new handheld Raman material identification system Mira DS. Mira DS safely identifies illicit substances and explosives without the need for direct contact with the material in question, making it an ideal solution for police, hazmat teams, bomb technicians, and military personnel. The system was developed in close cooperation with professional first responders with the goal of providing a simple, easy to use instrument that measures quickly. The Mira DS addresses these needs and improves the safety of drug task force officers, hazmat teams, and bomb technicians. To support the demands of these measurements, the Mira DS features a wide array of dedicated sampling attachments for material identification. Drug task force officers, for example, can increase their personal safety by identifying material coated on a surface or inside a drum by testing from a safe distance with the Mira DS.


“The safety of our first responders was our top priority when developing the Mira DS,” says Edward Colihan, President and CEO of Metrohm USA. “They put their lives on the line for us every day and we’re proud to be able to provide them with an instrument that makes their job just a little bit safer. Metrohm developed the Mira DS with the goal of providing fast, accurate measurements under the safest conditions possible.”


The Mira DS provides powerful mixture matching capability for identifying the hazardous materials in street drugs and explosive formulations. Featuring a fully ruggedized design, the Mira DS operates at both cold storage and desert temperatures, is shock and vibration resistant, waterproof, and dust proof with certification to MIL-STD-810G and IP67. For important decision making in critical situations, first responders can directly interface Mira DS with Android devices and HazMasterG3®

ATEX approved modular gas detector offers


exceptional flexibility Gas detection instruments constantly monitor for the presence of toxic and flammable gases along with the monitoring for low oxygen environments. These devices provide constant monitoring of the area in which they are installed. Should hazardous gases within the surrounding air exceed permitted levels, signals are sent to the control and monitoring panels and the warning and evacuation procedures are initiated. Each system however requires different parameters such as output types, communication protocols and display options. A need for a modular device with the capability of adding and removing such functions/features is now more demanding than ever in order to be able to cover most projects including the ones with limited budget.


The Silversafe 500 is the latest ATEX approved modular gas detector offered by Silver- Tec which enables tailored functionality to meet project requirements at an optimised cost. Spending money on extra features that is not needed by the project is what Silversafe 500 is designed to avoid.

The MX 32 is a compact, low-profile controller that continuously monitors multiple gas detection sensors. The versatile control system is designed to receive and supervise up to 8 inputs using either Wheatstone bridge mV DC sensors, 4-20mA DC or Serial RS-485 Modbus™. It can be customised and expanded based on individual application needs using Oldham’s stackable din-rail mounted I/O modules. Modules can be installed remotely to simplify field wiring and reduce costs. All modules are also covered by the CSA certification. The MX 32 comes with several unique features such as its graphic display, voting function, gas measurement, event data logging, RS 485 output, and on-board A/V alarms. It is completely field programmable using COM 32, an advanced and intuitive programming software.

46643pr@reply-direct.com NEW: Chillgard® 5000 refrigerant leak monitor sets benchmark


Introducing the new breakthrough Chillgard 5000 Refrigerant Leak Monitorfrom MSA, designed to meet environmental and building code requirements for mechanical rooms. It is now the industry’s most sensitive and selective device of its kind on the market today.


With the ability to read down to the 1 ppm level, MSA’s Chillgard 5000 provides an early response to HVAC refrigerant gas leaks, which allows maintenance crews to respond more quickly and to avoid the consequences and costs of hazardous gas leaks. Refrigerant gas is considered a toxic gas and although refrigerants have low toxicity, at high concentrations they can displace oxygen. Serious injury or death can result from worker oxygen deficiency.


The Chillgard 5000 Leak Monitor can detect up to six different field-selectable refrigerants and be configured with a choice of 4, 8 or 16 sampling points. It features MSA’s photoacoustic infrared (PAIR) sensor technology, which is largely unaffected by temperature or humidity to reduce drift and increase accuracy – without frequent adjustment or maintenance. It has been independently third party tested to the 1 ppm level over temperatures of 32-122°F (0-50°C) and 0-95% relative humidity levels.


In the event of a gas leak, the Chillgard 5000 provides a clear visual and audible signal to indicate there is a potentially dangerous, environmentally-harmful and expensive leak. Available gases include 20 of the industry’s most common refrigerants monitored over an operating range of 0 to 1000 ppm. Sensor response time at less than 90% of gas reading is under 70 seconds. Built-in diagnostics support predictive maintenance for worry-free use.


With an all new intuitive user interface, the Chillgard 5000 features a large 7-inch (178 mm) touchscreen color display with real-time dashboard text and graphics. It is password protected for security, the text is viewable in six languages and its diagnostic and event logs make for easy inspection and maintenance. Calibration is completed at the touch of a button using the designated calibration port.


The Chillgard 5000 is ideal for large building mechanical rooms, including those found in universities, banks, commercial offices, hotels, restaurants, strip malls, hospitals, nursing homes and places of worship. The automation friendly Chillgard 5000 operates independently or is compatible with multiple building management systems (BMS).


The Chillgard 5000 includes integrated BACnet and Modbus for direct digital communication back to a centralized control system. BACnet protocol allows for non-intrusive gas concentration monitoring and alarm status. No configuration is necessary because the data is automatically mapped into the database upon protocol selection.


The Chillgard 5000 is equipped with five internal relays for fault, three levels of alarm and an external horn option. Installation is simple requiring 24 VDC/VAC power. There are no moving parts for low maintenance and only an annual calibration check is recommended.
