The document describes the features and specifications of the new PID 2 Falco gas detector from Ion Science Ltd. It features patented fence electrode and Typhoon technologies to minimize humidity effects and features an intuitive user interface with magnetic switches and a bright OLED display. It is available as a pumped or diffused model and offers gas detection from ppb to ppm levels with EXD and IS certification.

2. The next generation of
fixed PID based gas
detectors from Ion
Science Ltd
Capable of detecting
thousands of VOC gases
from ppb to thousands of
ppm

3. features
The New PID 2
Falco uses the new
MiniPID 2 which not only
boasts patented fence
electrode technology, it
also has Typhoon
technology that
minimizes the effects of
even condensing
humidity.

4. features
Available as pumped
or diffused
Diffused: Minimizes
servicing cost
Pumped: Allows the
sample to be drawn from
inaccessible areas

5. features
EXD and IS certified
EXD body: Robust body
IS sensor: Allows access
to the PID sensor and
pump in seconds
and avoids raising hot
work permits
