2020ComboPRO


 



Two Instruments in One...
Superior VOC Detection with Benzene Measurement Capability

The 2020ComboPRO represents the newest advancement in volatile organic compound (VOC) detection coupled with operational simplicity. It is designed to respond quickly in emergency response situations while providing plenty of brainpower when you need it for comprehensive data analysis. With its proven photoionization (PID) technology and extended range of 0.1 to 10,000ppm, the 2020ComboPRO measures a wide variety of chemicals for environmental, industrial hygiene, and emergency response applications. Plus…with the quick-connect pre-filter tube assembly, it can measure benzene…a critical compound to identify in many environmental and industrial hygiene monitoring activities.

Easy operation

Designed with the field professional in mind, the2020ComboPRO features a large graphic display that is easy to read, even with a full face respirator, and the large keypad buttons are easy to access even with heavy hazmat gloves. Simultaneous real-time measurements and maximum hold readings provide all the important information you need without switching modes. The 2020ComboPRO provides unsurpassed operational simplicity, and calibration is quick and easy. And, the ease of use doesn’t stop there. Our ProComm software lets you download lots of data with the push of a button, offering datalogging and documentation capability.

Intrinsically Safe to North American and ATEX standards for use in potentially explosive
environments.  Expanded internal data logging allows to record up to 200 hours of 1 minute
interval sampling points. Zero calibration through the use of an activated charcoal pre-filter tube
developed for Photovac by Dräger Safety AG.

2020ComboPRO Solutions

Emergency Response and HazMAT

HazMat and Emergency Response teams require portable, reliable instruments to quickly characterize accidents, spills, and contaminated
sites. The 2020ComboPRO is ideal in these situations since it is lightweight and easy to use. The 2020ComboPRO provides sample analysis in less than three seconds. Rapid results are vital to responder safety to determine the level of personal protective equipment (PPE) required and the appropriate clean-up actions. Fast evaluation of the contamination present is also crucial to determine the hazard to the surrounding community and establish a safety perimeter around the site.

Benzene Monitoring – Personal

A PID is the instrument of choice for personal safety monitoring because it responds best to the more toxic VOCs such as benzene. The 2020ComboPRO is small and ligh

Health and Safety Monitoring

Benzene is a recognized carcinogen and atmospheric pollutant, and the 2020ComboPRO can specifically measure for benzene through the quick-connect pre-filter tube assembly.

Health and Safety Monitoring – Site

The 2020ComboPRO can be used for site monitoring to insure worker safety. In Interval Mode, the 2020ComboPRO automatically calculates and records PEAK, STEL, and TWA at a user selected interval. With datalogging capability supporting up to 200 hours of 1 minute sampling data, the 2020ComboPRO will handle short and long term monitoring requirements.

  Site Characterization

The 2020ComboPRO is ideal for site screening to determine the extent of contamination present by providing the concentration and defining the perimeter. The 2020ComboPRO can monitor a broad range of compounds with the 10.6 eV lamp and the optional 11.7 eV lamp. The 2020ComboPRO can be used in field characterization and monitoring potentially hazardous conditions during remediation.

Soil/Water Jar Headspace Screening

The 2020ComboPRO can detect a wide range of VOCs from 0.1 to 10,000ppm. Given its broad detection range and capabilities, the 2020ComboPRO is an ideal screening tool for VOCs in soil or water static headspace.

Aircraft Wing Tank Entry

While jet fuels (e.g., JP-8, JP-4, JP-5) are typically a mixture of many complex hydrocarbons, aircraft maintenance workers need measurement of the total concentration of VOCs after draining and ventilating the fuel tank to determine if the
environment is safe for entry. The 2020ComboPRO allows workers to quickly determine if respiratory protection is required and to enter the wing tank sooner with confidence. The 2020ComboPRO is ideal for this application given its ability to
measure low ppm levels of VOCs in less than three seconds.

2020ComboPRO Detectible Compounds

Aromatics - Benzene, Toluene, Naphthalene
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons - Acetylene, Ethylene, 1,3-Butadiene
Chlorinated Hydrocarbons - Vinyl chloride, Chloroform, Trichloroethylene, Methylene chloride
