Model PI-700 Universal VOC Gas Sensor
Detcon Model PI-700 is a non-intrusive “Smart” sensor that use photoionization detector technology to monitor VOC gases over ranges from 0-10 ppm to 0-5,000 ppm. There is also a special 0-500 ppb version available. In the PI-700 sensor design, Detcon has successfully converted the sensitive laboratory style PID technology into a rugged, environmentally insensitive, and long-life industrial gas sensor.
