Gas detection solutions provider Industrial Scientific has introduced the Ventis Slide-on Pump (VSP). The new pump is compatible with both the Ventis MX4 and the MX4 iQuad multi-gas detectors. “It is ideally suited for gas monitor users who wear their gas monitor for personal protection the majority of their day but occasionally require a pump for confined space entries” says the company. The VSP is available in black or safety orange, and allows for convenient sampling of up to 50 ft in a wide range of applications.

No tools are required to attach or remove the pump to and from the Ventis monitor. Since the pump is powered by its own battery pack, as is the Ventis, the battery packs can be easily exchanged between instruments, as needed. There are three available battery pack options including standard lithium-ion, extended runtime lithium-ion and alkaline which make the pump flexible in the field. To charge the VSP, it can be simply placed in the cradle of one of the standard Ventis AC desktop or DC vehicle chargers. The compact, feature-rich, and iNet compatible Ventis has been the monitor of choice for many multi-gas instrument users since being introduced in March 2011. The new V allows users to quickly configure the Ventis for any need.
