Atmospheric hazard
Check toxic, combustible and oxygen-related risks. Measurements help define approach routes, protective equipment and initial exclusion zones.
Emergency response
Firefighting
Give incident teams a faster picture of toxic gases, unknown chemicals and radiation before they commit people and equipment. Extend awareness from the first approach through entry, ventilation, decontamination and stand-down.
Mission focus
Make the hazard visible before entry.
A fire or hazmat scene can combine toxic and combustible gases, unknown containers and radiological hazards. GD624 establishes multi-gas area awareness, while GD606 gives crews a configurable handheld check as they move. CR1600 supports non-destructive identification of compatible suspicious materials, and RG500 measures surface contamination together with X-ray and gamma dose conditions.
These instruments answer different questions during approach, entry and recovery. Repeated readings can refine exclusion zones and show changing conditions, while identification and radiation results support specialist escalation, PPE and decontamination decisions under the incident commander's procedures.
Unknown materials
Identify chemicals without unnecessary sample handling. Faster on-scene information supports containment, medical advice and the selection of decontamination measures.
Changing conditions
Track the scene as suppression and ventilation alter it. Repeated readings show whether the hazard is moving, declining or appearing in a new area.
Operational sequence
Field workflow
A clear sequence connects early indication, field confirmation and a defensible decision - giving every team a shared understanding of what happens next.
Approach
Remote and portable sensing informs the first perimeter. Crews begin with distance, then refine the boundary as reliable readings become available.
Characterise
Teams identify the hazard and its likely spread. Substance, concentration and location information shape entry tactics and specialist support.
Reassess
Continuous measurements support entry and stand-down decisions. Monitoring continues through ventilation and clean-up so improvement is demonstrated rather than assumed.
Selected solutions
The right tools for the task.
01
GD624
02GD624 is an environmental chemical monitoring system that detects up to 24 gases at once using multi-sensor, multi-channel direct detection, integrating optical ionization, electrochemical and infrared sensors. It is built for real-time monitoring of toxic, hazardous and flammable gases in emergency response, firefighting and industrial environments.
CR1600
03CR1600 is a handheld Raman identification device supplied in mission-specific versions for police and security, emergency response and hazmat, and borders and customs. Each version carries a database configured for that role, and identifies explosives, narcotics and hazardous chemicals in the field without sampling.
RG500
04RG500 is a portable nuclear and radiation detector measuring alpha and beta surface contamination together with X-ray and gamma dose rates and total accumulated dose. It meets technical requirements for nuclear emergency-response monitoring, and an extendable pole with fully rotating probes allows measurement from a safer distance.
GD606
GD606 is a handheld multi-gas detector that continuously monitors VOCs, combustible gases and other toxic and harmful gases. It accepts photoionization, electrochemical, catalytic combustion and semiconductor sensors on a plug-and-play basis, so one instrument can be configured for the hazards of a particular site.
Key information
Reference Application Scenarios
Air Quality Monitoring
During firefighting and hazardous material incidents, it's necessary to monitor the air quality for toxic gases, smoke, and other air pollutants. By providing real-time data on air composition and pollutant levels, these sensors help protect the health and safety of firefighters, emergency responders, and nearby residents
Hazardous Material Identification
Emergency responders can quickly identify hazardous materials present at the accident scene, including chemical leaks, industrial accidents, and terrorist attacks, using our sensors. This information enables emergency personnel to assess risks and formulate effective response strategies to mitigate the impact on public safety and the environment
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Selection
Providing information to emergency responders about the types of hazardous substances present allows them to select appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protection. This ensures that response personnel are adequately equipped to safely perform tasks in hazardous environments
Pollutant Cleanup Guidance
Assisting in determining the extent of contamination and guiding cleanup efforts following chemical, biological, or radiological incidents. By identifying hot zones and contaminated areas, these sensors help prioritize cleanup tasks and ensure effective decontamination to minimize exposure risks
Incident Command Support
Integrated with incident command systems, our equipment can provide situational awareness and data-driven decision support. By providing real-time information on chemical hazards, weather conditions, and environmental factors, these sensors enhance the effectiveness of emergency response actions and resource allocation
