Industrial Scientific Tango TX1 single gas monitor

Industrial Scientific has introduced the Tango TX1 single gas monitor. A three-year runtime and DualSense Technology improves worker safety, regardless of bump test frequency, while reducing maintenance costs.

The Tango detects carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂). Its DualSense Technology includes two of the same type of sensor for the detection of a single gas. The two sensor readings are processed through an algorithm and displayed as a single reading to the user.

DualSense Technology was developed to address the major challenge of making sure workers are always using fully functioning, reliable instruments in the field. The company claims that, until Tango, this required a bump test of the instrument before each day’s use. With Tango’s DualSense Technology, workers are safer regardless of bump test frequency.

It is powered by one replaceable 2/3 AA lithium battery that will power it continuously for up to three years even if the instrument is being used in the optional ‘always on’ mode. After the battery can no longer support instrument life, it can be easily replaced for another three years of continuous operation.

The Tango is compatible with iNet, Industrial Scientific’s ‘Gas Detection as a Service’ solution. iNet is a software-based service that increases safety by providing visibility into gas detector alarms, exposure and usage. With iNet, customers do not have to buy gas detectors. Instead, they can subscribe to iNet and receive Gas Detection as a Service.
