Introduction to Tiger
LT
TIGER
LT
is a portable gas detector that uses Photo-ionization technology to detect a large range of Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC's) which can be dangerous from both a poisoning and explosive perspective.
The TIGER
LT
uses a Photo-Ionization Detector (PID) to measure gas concentrations. The patented fence
electrode technology minimises the effects of moisture and contamination, avoiding the need for
compensation.
Like its predecessor, the TIGER
LT
also has an intuitive graphical interface allowing easy access to instrument
settings. Two soft keys A and B can be configured to suit the user’s application, so many functions can be
selected without entering the main menu structure. This improves efficiency of use, particularly with
repeatable tasks.
TIGER PC
LT
(PC Software) maintains the intuitive look and feel by adopting the same graphical symbols.
TIGER PC also helps manage logged data files and multiple instrument settings in a clear and concise way.
The TIGER
LT
uses a Lithium-ion battery pack that not only boasts an impressive running time and short
charge time, but also allows the battery pack to be replaced in potentially hazardous environments. Field
replaceable alkaline battery packs (non-rechargeable) are also available for when power to recharge is
unavailable.
The TIGER
LT
has true USB capability so the instrument can be connected directly to a PC via a standard
USB cable. It also offers fast data download.
A loud audio output, vibration and bright LED's indicate alarm conditions. Orange and Red LED's indicate
High and Low conditions respectively. This colour scheme is used within TIGER PC
LT
to offer clear
indication of alarm levels within logged data.
