MP400 1-866-mPower7

Multi-Gas Monitors

The POLI MP400 is a basic 4-gas detector for worker safety in hazardous locations, with sensors for oxygen (O2),
combustibles (LEL), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). A hydrogen cyanide (HCN) version
(LEL/O2/CO/HCN) is a low-cost monitor for firefighters. The MP400 is designed to be extremely rugged with a ro-
bust housing and gas sampling by diffusion for no moving parts. The simple, 2-button operation results in ultimate
ease of use and significantly reduced time spent training the user. The rechargeable Li-ion battery pack lasts 16
hours or more in typical use, and the unique Man-Down alarm feature notifies nearby workers if the user becomes
incapacitated.

Features, Functions and Benefits

• Diffusion sampling
• Battery operation 16 hours
• Durable double shot outer case
• 360-Degree LED alarm bar
• Man-Down alarm
• USB Micro charger & communications cable
• Flip screen
• Integrated calibration cup
• Smart sensors carry ID and calibration
• 6 Months continuous datalogging

 MP400P 1-866-mPower7

Confined Space Entry Monitors

The POLI multi-gas meters offer 4- or 5-gas monitoring of toxic gases, oxygen (O2), combustibles (LEL), carbon
dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The POLI MP400P is an advanced model with built-in
pump that allows a full selection of sensors for a wide range of applications, including Confined Space Entry, while
the POLI MP400 is a basic, 4-gas diffusion detector for worker safety at hazardous locations. Smart sensors carry
calibration and ID information with them for quick exchange in the field during Hazmat response. Specific sensors
include electrochemical (EC) for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen cya-
nide (HCN), hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF), chlorine (Cl2), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), nitric oxide
(NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ethylene oxide, methyl mercaptan, and others. Also available
are pellistor for LEL level combustibles, non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) for Vol% level CO2 or hydrocarbons, and
photo-ionization detector (PID) for ppm level VOCs. Use of combination CO/H2S or SO2/H2S sensors allow up to 5
gas measurements in a single instrument. The MP400P has rugged construction and easy-to-learn 2-button oper-
ation. The unique Man-Down alarm feature notifies nearby workers if the user becomes incapacitated.

Features, Functions and Benefits

• Wide selection of “plug-and-play” Smart Sensors
• 16-Hour rechargeable Li-ion battery
• Pump-off switch saves battery for longer operation time
• Automatic flow fault on pump
• 360-Degree LED alarm bar
• Man-Down alarm
• USB Micro charger & communications cable
• Flip screen
• 6 Months continuous datalogging
• Durable double shot outer case
