EX-TEC® PM 5xx Series – Gas Measurement and Monitoring Devices
The EX-TEC® PM 5xx series makes daily work easier for gas installers, maintenance services, and other specialized personnel. These devices help locate leaks in freely accessible gas pipelines, assess explosion risks, and determine toxic gas concentrations based on occupational exposure limits (OEL).
For building applications, the EX-TEC® PM 580 measures carbon monoxide (CO) concentration in ambient air and triggers audible and visual alarms when levels are too high. Toxic CO is generated in combustion devices such as heating systems when there is insufficient air supply, posing a risk to occupants.
Ergonomic Design for Easy Operation
Once you hold this explosion-proof, IP65-rated device, you won't want to put it down. Its rubber-coated housing provides a secure grip, and the high-contrast display ensures exceptionally clear readings, even under sunlight.
The intuitive 4-button control panel allows quick access to all functions:
2 navigation buttons
1 menu button
1 Enter button
A separate ON/OFF button with no secondary function
