MicroFID II

Innovative Portable Flame Ionization Detection for Volatile Organic Compounds

  • Accurate, reliable flame ionization detection
  • Bluetooth® enabled for wireless communication to handheld computers or mobile phones
  • Unique 70 hour, low pressure hydrogen fuel cylinder
  • Long-life 15 hour battery
  • Intrinsically safe
  • Integrates with GPS positioning system

 

APPLICATIONS

  • Emergency Response - HazMat
  • Underground Storage Tank Removal
  • Confined Space Pre-entry
  • Arson Accelerant Investigations
  • Soil Gas Monitoring
  • Petroleum Products Tank Entry
  • OSHA Compliance
  • Pollution Control Efficiency

The MicroFID II Advantage Flame ionization detection provides measurements over a wider range of VOCs than photoionization detectors (PIDs), including methane. Further, the MicroFID II's operating range of 0.1 ppm to 50,000 ppm helps better define the severity of the hot zone.

Advanced Wireless Technology

The MicroFID II represents the newest generation in flame ionization detection with integral Bluetooth wireless technology for optional data transfer to a handheld device (computer, PDA or mobile phone) when in backpack mode. Plus, the MicroFID II can be restarted from the handheld device if flameout occurs.		  

Designed for Field Use

The revolutionary metal hydride hydrogen fuel cylinder provides up to 70 hours of continuous use at very low pressure (80 psi) to maximize your up-time in the field. With this long-life hydrogen fuel system, multiple shifts can use the MicroFID II without returning for a refill. The metal hydride cylinder has a UN3468 identification number, so it can be shipped full of hydrogen by way of cargo air.
