Tank-Mate

Portable monitors
for flammable hydrocarbons,
oxygen and toxic gases
Incorporating the latest infrared detection technology,
Tank-Mate meets the extended need of measuring hydro-
carbons in inert backgrounds.This instrument is especially
suitable for tankers with inert gas system, and is a must
for gas freeing- and inerting procedures.
Both % volume and % LEL levels are measured for tank
purging and inert atmosphere monitoring.
The infrared sensor is equally suitable for detection of
hydrocarbons in air for confined space entry and other
safety applications.

Ranges and alarm GAS RANGE ALARMS
Flammable 0-100% LEL 10%/20% LEL
Oxygen 0-25% 19%/23.5%
Hydrogen Sulphide 0-50 ppm 5/10 ppm

Up to three levels of alarm per channel. Flammable
Gas can be supplied as a single range 0-100% LEL or
as a dual range 0-100% LEL / 0-100% volume which
then occupies two channels.
Tank-Mate can have up to four channels.

2 years.
Audible alarms Piercing, rapid intermittent, piezo-electric tone,
85 dbA at 1 m. Confidence blip (selectable).
Distinctive double blip for low battery.
Visible alarms Ultra bright flashing red LED in gas hazard. Slow
flashing green LED indicates instrument is working.
Distinctive double flash of green LED indicates low
