►Ventis MX4 Resources
The Ventis MX4 Product Manual is the primary resource, within a full suite of learning tools, developed for the monitor
user. Its step-by-step “walk through” format covers everything from unpacking to set-up, operation, and service. All
Ventis MX4 users should read and understand the Product Manual prior to unpacking or using the monitor.
A companion to the manual, the Ventis MX4 Reference Guide ships with the monitor. It serves to announce all
warnings and cautionary statements relevant to general monitor use. The guide also features process charts that
provide an overview of four fundamental tasks: operation/start-up, configuration, calibration, and functional “bump”
testing. These charts are tools for the user who is both familiar with the manual and proficient in the performance of
the given task.
Ventis MX4 product-specific resources are part of the organization’s broader training line-up, featuring online training
modules and face-to-face classroom programs for technicians, operators, first responders, trainers, and distributors.
Courses combine theory with hands-on learning, and can be tailored to the customer’s unique requirements and gas
monitoring applications.
The organization’s customer and technical support call centers provide product and order information, how-to product
assistance, and guidance for in-depth technical applications. Its service centers offer comprehensive factory repair
and maintenance services.
Industrial Scientific Corporation provides a full suite of resources to aid customers in the competent and safe use of
its products and services. With 19 manufacturing, support, and service centers and hundreds of distributors
worldwide, Industrial Scientific serves the globe’s gas detection needs.
►Ventis MX4 Capabilities
The Ventis MX4 is a portable multi-gas monitor. Offered as a diffusion monitor, it detects and measures gas(es)
present in open space. To enable monitor use within confined space locations, the Ventis MX4 is also offered as an
aspirated monitor. A pump module and battery accessories enable the conversion of either monitor for dedicated use
in either confined or open spaces.
Based on the customer’s monitor order, up to four sensors are factory installed enabling the monitor to continuously
and simultaneously detect and measure the presence of up to four specific gases.

(Sulfur Dioxide)
Equipped with a multi-mode (audible, visual, and vibration) and multi-level alarm system, the Ventis MX4 monitor is
capable of notifying its user of potentially hazardous gas concentrations.
The monitor performs continuous datalogging at 10 second intervals. It can store approximately 90 days of data for a
four-sensor configuration. Its date- and time-stamped event log records and stores data for the following: 60 alarm
events, 30 error events, and 250 manually performed calibrations or bump tests. The memory, when full, overwrites
the oldest data as the newest readings and events are logged.
