Product Details

• The TVA1000B is the ONLY over-the-shoulder portable vapor analyzer to offer both photoionization and flame ionization detectors in a single instrument. The system is a cost effective tool for helping to meet today's requirements for a healthier and safer workplace, as well as a cleaner environment.
• An optional Enhanced Probe is available which allows single hand operation. Users do not need to access the sidepack during operation. The TVA1000B is compact, so you can easily carry it anywhere and its power and fuel supplies run for eight hours on a full charge. Since safety is critical to many applications, the unit is fully certified intrinsically safe for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, & D.
• With its dual design, on-board datalogging and multipoint calibration, the TVA1000B increases productivity, and efficiency, and provides accuracy over a broader range. You no longer need to carry a second analyzer and a clipboard. Overall monitoring time is reduced because the number of vapors detected per scan is greater and scribing time is eliminated. In addition, on-board datalogging improves the integrity of the data by eliminating transcription errors.
• TVA1000B is built for fast, simple operation in real-world field conditions. A large keypad ensures straight-forward, easy operation, with or without gloves. Datalogging is activated by a thumb-switch on the hand held probe. Operations are menu-driven and displays are bright and easy to read.
