Technical Data
  • The design enables spatial separation of the instrument into two parts
    - a SENSING unit
    - a Display Unit
  • There is no electrical interconnection between the two units, both halves are locked and held by two pairs of strong magnets. Data is exchanged via a radio frequency communication link.
  • Communication between the two units is up to 10m (line of sight), but may vary due to underground conditions, and local legislation.
  • Operates fully without being separated.
  • Automatic self-diagnostics of battery, sensors and electronics.
  • All data is stored on board and can be downloaded via an IR channel housed in the charger.
  • Preset alarm levels for audio alarm on display unit, and LED's flashing on both units.
  • 12 hours of continuous and simultaneous measuring.
  • Well protected against dust, moisture and shock.
  • Rugged polycarbonate housing.
  • The OBSERVER is carried in a purpose made carry bag fitted with belt clip and strap.
The OBSERVER offers remote measuring for light and heavy gases in mining tunneling and other confinded Space operations:
  1. Split the OBSERVER by applying a longitude of about 3kg
  2. The SENSING unit can be lifted or lowered to the required level, when gas levels can be read remotely on the DISPLAY unit.
