Slide-On Pump Detects Gas in Confined Spaces

Feb. 13, 2013
New pump is compatible with both the Ventis MX4 and the MX4 iQuad multi-gas detectors.

Industrial Scientific’s Ventis Slide-on pump is suitable for workers who primarily use the Ventis MX4 multi-gas detector for personal protection but occasionally require an instrument pump for confined space entries.

The new pump is compatible with both the Ventis MX4 and the MX4 iQuad multi-gas detectors. The pump is available in black or safety orange. It allows for sampling of up to 50 feet in a wide range of applications. No tools are required to attach or remove the pump to and from the Ventis monitor.

Since the pump is powered by its own battery pack, as is the Ventis, the battery packs can be more easily exchanged between instruments, as needed. There are three available battery-pack options including standard lithium-ion, extended runtime lithium-ion and alkaline, which make the pump extremely flexible in the field. Users can charge the pump by placing it in the cradle of one of the standard Ventis AC desktop or DC vehicle chargers.
