Crowcon Tetra 3

The Tetra 3 multi-gas monitor is a compact, robust and easy-to-use diffusion-based detector. Single button operation, small size and clear top-mounted display make it a favourite in the market amongst those working in demanding industrial environments, such as those in the water, telecoms, food, brewing or hydrocarbons sectors.

The Tetra 3 portable multi gas monitor can detect and monitor the four most common gases (carbon monoxide, methane, oxygen and hydrogen sulphide), but also an expanded range: ammonia, ozone, sulphur dioxide, H2 filtered CO (for steel plants) and IR carbon dioxide (for safe area use only).

This ultra-robust design provides impact, water and dust resistance, as well as extra shock and vibration protection to withstand even the harshest environments.

The Tetra 3 is super user-friendly, with a single button operation for all functions which can be used with gloved hands, plus a top mounted backlit display of all gas readings, diagnostics and battery life make it simple and intuitive to use, minimising training needs.

With clear audio-visual and vibrating alarms, you can be confident there will be no missed signals when warnings are issued, enabling prompt evacuations from hazard zones when it matters.

Gases and Ranges

Ranges and alarms vary by country and application; these can be configured as required. Each channel can have two instantaneous alarms. Toxic channels also have TWA alarms. Flammable gas calibration is available for methane, propane, butane, pentane, hydrogen and ethylene as standard.

Gas Range Typical Alarms
Flammable  0-100% LEL  20% LEL
Oxygen (O2)  0-25% 19/23.5% volume
Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S)  0-100ppm  5ppm
Carbon Monoxide (CO)  1-500ppm 30ppm
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)  0-20ppm 1ppm
Ozone (O3)  0-1ppm 0.1ppm
Ammonia (NH2)  0-100ppm 25ppm
*Carbon Dioxide (CO2)  0-5% 0.5 % volume
Carbon Monoxide (CO) H2 compensated  0-500ppm 30ppm
Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN)  0-30ppm 10ppm

* T3 is available in a safe area CO2 version offering 0-5% carbon dioxide measurement.

The CO2 sensor replaces the flammable option and can be supplied with oxygen and toxic sensors.
