).The interval time will automatically inc
rease (1+0.5+0.5…..
max. 10 seconds) , and release
the “

Thank you for selecting CM-500 handheld multi gas detector.
With long-term data storage, t
he CM-500 is
designed to simultaneously measure multiple gas concentrations in the ambient environment.
When
CM-500 measures the gas concentration reaching the alarm setting or higher, the data display and alarm
functions are activated. CM-500 is equipped with an RS485 interface for connecting to a computer for
remote monitoring to reduce the risk of exposure to high concentrations of harmful gases and avoid
harm to human health. The Handheld Gas Detector can be used in a wide range of industries, which
include paint-related industries, wineries, related industries of CO
2
, food industry, laboratory, construction
industry, etc.
