Description
Circa Late 1980's to Mid 1990's (ESTIMATED)
A portable gas detector and alarm system specifically designed to monitor both combustible gases (measured as a percentage of the Lower Explosive Limit, LEL) and oxygen (O2) concentrations.
Use Case:
Primarily used for confined space entry, industrial safety inspections, and environmental survey work. It was a standard tool for utilities, HazMat teams, and personnel evaluating hazardous waste sites to detect explosive methane levels or oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Historical Significance:
Manufactured by GasTech Inc. in Mountain View, California, this model was a precursor to modern digital multi-gas monitors. Its analog meter and manual adjustment knobs represent the "golden age" of field-portable gas detection equipment that helped standardize OSHA and EPA safety protocols for hazardous environment monitoring.
