The AMC-1BXX Gas Monitors are designed to provide continuous, reliable monitoring of ambient 
air for the target gas(es) via onboard sensor module. 
 
The Monitor provides a digital representation of the gas concentration, this information is 
displayed locally via OLED. Plug-and-play modular architecture accommodates; hot-pluggable 
Power/Comms via the BusPower Module and field replaceable Sensor Modules (eligible for the 
EZ-CAL exchange program). 
 
In addition, each Monitor features alarm / system status indicators, audible feedback, 2 relays, 2 
analog outputs and color-coded connection terminal blocks, as listed and described herein.
