IST's Model IQ-1000 and TLV Panther are the most powerful and versatile portable gas detectors on the market today.

By using IST's Mega-Gas Sensor in one of the IQ-1000's four available sensor ports, this remarkable unit can detect OVER 100 toxic and combustible gases using a single sensor.

On the other hand, the TLV Panther employs the same advanced IQ-1000 electronics technology, but gives you the speed and versatility of a Photo-Ionization Detector (PID) for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, etc. Both units are microprocessor controlled, and three alarm setpoints are provided for each gas, as well as audible and visual indications if any of these alarm limits are exceeded.

Besides the Mega-Gas Sensor for the IQ-1000 and the PID for the TLV Panther, both units also accept electrochemical, catalytic bead, infrared (IR), and solid-state sensors, allowing the units to provide greater selectivity for key gases. The IQ-1000 or TLV Panther accepts and simultaneously displays the readings of up to 4 sensors, giving it the flexibility to meet a wide range of applications. The IQ-1000's "Gas Search" feature allows you to use the Mega-Gas Sensor to scan an area for hazardous gases. Because the Mega-Gas Sensor can detect over 100 gases, if a gas search inidcates a zero reading, chances are that no hazardous gases are present.

The IQ-1000 and TLV Panther have impressive capabilities, yet still remains convenient and easy to use. Calibration is simple and automated, with no manual adjustments necessary. The TLV Panther even has a completely automated calibration mode that allows the microprocessor to calibrate all of the active gases for the PID with the push of a button. Thus, the user can calibrate 10, 20, or even 30+ gases in less than a minute! Besides easy calibration, operation is a snap. Simply select the gases you want to monitor and the microprocessor based unit will do the rest. A large, 8 line, 40 character display allows the simultaneous display of 4 gases along with alarm and calibration information. Power is provided via 6 'D' size alkaline or nickel cadmium batteries.

The IQ-1000 and TLV Panther include a built-in sample pump and sample wand, as well as a handy carrying case. Datalogging can be provided as an option, allowing the storage of months of data. An RS-232 port allows you to send data to a computer or printer. Included with datalogging is the IQ-1000's powerful EINSTEIN data management software (PC). This software allows you to download, manipulate, and plot data in a variety of ways.

IQ-250 and IQ-350 Single-Gas Portables

IQ-250 is a single-gas, portable instrument which can be equipped with solid state sensor. Any one of over 150 toxic and combustible gases can be chosen for detection. The sensor is attached via a coiled cord which allows readings to be taken up to 24" from the unit.

Buzzer and LED alarms alert the user to the presence of hazardous levels, and a digital display indicates the gas concentration. User adjustable setpoints are provided for low, mid, and high alarm levels. The IQ-250 is compact, weighing just 22 ounces including batteries. The unit will operate approximately 14 hours on 4 AA-size alkaline batteries.

IQ-350 is a single-gas, portable instrument which provides all of the features of the IQ-250, and in addition, it comes equipped with an internal sampling pump and wand assembly.

The unit can be equipped with either a solid state sensor, electrochemical sensor, photo-ionization detector (PID), or infra-red (IR) detector, and can be configured to detect any one of over 150 toxic and combustible gases. The IQ-350 operates approximately 20 hours on 4 C-size alkaline batteries.

IQ-200 Personal Safety Monitor

IST's Model IQ-200 is a personal safety monitor which can be configured to meet a variety of applications. For confined space entry, a single solid-state sensor is used to detect hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and combustible gases, and an additional electrochemical sensor is used to detect oxygen. Solid-state sensors for over 150 other gases are also available, making it ideal for use as a personal exposure monitor or a specialty gas monitor. Both the solid-state sensor and the electrochemical oxygen sensor used in the IQ-200 are long-life sensors. Typical life expectancy is 5 years for the oxygen sensor and over 10 years for the solid-state sensor. This results in a tremendous savings in long term operating costs. Compared with other units, the IQ-200 can save you hundreds, even thousands, of dollars in long-term costs associated with sensor replacement.

The IQ-200 is easy to use as well. Just slide the power switch on and you're ready to go. All alarms are factory preset. Alarm LEDs indicate low, mid, and high alarm levels for the solid state sensor, and low and high alarms for the oxygen sensor. The IQ-200 also has an audible alarm buzzer to alert you to hazardous gas conditions. Also, verifying proper operation of the unit is easy and is accomplished by simply exposing the unit to 50% LEL methane.

The IQ-200 is small and lightweight, weighing just 22 ounces, including batteries. It comes standard with a carrying case which includes a belt strap and shoulder harness. The unit operates on 4 size 'AA' alkaline batteries, and operates approximately 14 hours on one set of batteries.

• Single solid-state sensor detects hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and combustibles -- many other gases also available. Separate electrochemical sensor detects oxygen.
• Ideal for confined space entry, personal exposure, and specialty gas monitoring.
• The IQ-200 is designed for simplicity -- Just switch it "ON" and you're ready to go!
• Long sensor life (typically 10+ years for solid state sensor and 5 years for oxygen sensor) means low operating costs.
• Operates 14 hours on 4 'AA' size alkaline batteries.
