XplorIR and LEL Sensors for Hazmat Response
Learn about the integration of XplorIR’s gas identification capabilities with the common air monitoring tool of the LEL sensor.
Responders to hazardous materials incidents face significant risks from flammable atmospheres. To manage this threat, teams use structural firefighting gear, SCBA, and various sensors, including LEL sensors, for initial reconnaissance and subsequent entries. However, traditional Catalytic Bead LEL sensors can be inaccurate due to calibration issues with different gases and a limited scope, creating more safety risk. The XplorIR® device allows responders to identify the specific gas or vapor detected. This enables real-time adjustments to the sensor readings, improving safety by reducing the need for action levels, speeding up leak identification, and enhancing overall mitigation efforts.
