Impact/Impact Pro
The Impact Series is a compact, portable gas monitor designed to be carried or worn by the user. Its purpose is to monitor the atmosphere continuously for hazardous levels of up to four gases. The instrument is usually supplied with four gas sensors, for detecting oxygen (enrichment and deficiency), flammable gases (up to the Lower Explosive Limit) and two toxic gases (for personal safety). An alternative arrangement using infrared sensors for flammable or carbon dioxide is also available.

| Vapor/Gas |
| Sensitivity/Detection Limits |
| ppm; %LEL; % |
| Known Interferents/Inhibitors |
| Oxygen sensors may read high in the presence of carbon dioxide. Flammable sensors may be affected by exposure to Silicone substances; organic phosphorus containing compounds and halogenated organic compounds. The sensors on average will lose approximately 20% of their sensitivity when subjected to forty applications of H2S for a period of 1 minute each. |
