AP4C-V
The AP4C-V is a ready-to-mount system for vehicles or critical infrastructures that provides real-time detection of all chemical threats in either vapor, gas and aerosol form.
The AP4C-V is particularly suitable for use in rough conditions. It is intended to be used in fixed position on detection beacons or on vehicles (mobile shelters, armored vehicles...). The added air vein makes an efficient dust filtration and allows external air speed up to 110 Km/h. The AP4C-V has an 24 h autonomy and protects your assets thanks to its extremely short response time and unrivaled detection performance.
The AP4C-V is a monitor equipped with flameproof protection at burner input and at air circulator
