MSA Passport Personal Alarm

Product Description
The Passport Personal Alarm lets you continuously monitor up to five gases simultaneously in a single compact unit. Weighing only 30 ounces, the Passport Personal Alarm can be hand held, clipped to your belt, or positioned in a stationary area.

Each unit is equipped with your choice of sensors--for monitoring combustible gas, oxygen levels and a selection of toxic gases commonly encountered in workplace atmospheres.

 
Principle(s) of Operation
The Passport Alarm has only three buttons. Its back-lit liquid crystal display (LCD) continuously provides readings from all sensors. When a preset alarm condition is detected by any sensor, an internal horn activates and two bright red warning lights flash. The combustible sensor uses MSA's LockalarmT Circuit. If the combustible gas level reaches 100% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), the alarm locks and cannot be reset until the user moves to fresh air, turns the unit off and back on again.
