Overview

NEO

High-End Photo Ionization Detector
Brand: WatchGas Detection
Made in: Netherlands

The NEO is one of the most advanced handheld VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) monitors available for ppb (parts per billion) detection. The NEO offers several models from the most sensitive 1ppb to a high range up to 20.000 ppm for different applications and user selections. A novel design of Photo Ionization Detector (PID) and Ultra Violet (UV) lamp significantly reduces interferences due to humidity. Options include real-time data monitoring with a built-in wireless modem at ConnectM application software.

NEO Main Features

  • Size: 260 x 78 x 58 mm with boot, Weight: 25 oz (708 g) (with boot);
  • 1 ppb to 20.000 ppm ranges of VOC;
  • Benzene-specific measurement version 0.05 to 200 ppm benzene (NEO BENZ)*
  • Measurement of Butadiene possible with Butadiene Separator tube;
  • 3-second response time VOC mode;
  • IP-67 when turned off, IP-66 when turned on;
  • 95 dB alarm;
  • Large and intuitive display;
  • Integrated Correction Factor list of more than 800 compounds;
  • Built-in pump for up to 30 meters sampling distance;
  • Man-Down alarm with real-time remote wireless notification;
  • ISM wireless connection option;
  • Easy service and maintenance;
  • Micro-USB charge port.

Description

The WatchGas NEO is one of the most advanced handheld VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) monitors available for ppb (parts per billion) detection.

VOCs include a variety of chemicals such as benzene, alcohols, fuels, paint thinners, industrial solvents and many others, which can have short and long-term adverse health effects. Measuring these compounds is essential for worker protection in industries like oil & gas, fire & hazmat, pharmaceuticals, paints & adhesives, and many others. In addition, VOC monitoring is useful chemical process control, detecting leaks and other releases to the environment, and in measuring indoor air quality. The NEO offers several models from the most sensitive 1 ppb to a high range up to 15,000 ppm for different applications, and a benzene-specific version (NEO BENZ). Novel designs of the Photo-ionization Detector (PID) and Ultraviolet (UV) lamp provide outstanding sensitivity, stability and reproducibility. Options include real-time data monitoring with a builtin wireless modem using WatchGas Suite application software.
