Edinburgh Instruments, a Scottish-based manufacturer of compact wall mounted infrared gas monitors, has been working throughout Europe to help combat the threat posed by bird flu
When bird flu is detected among farm stock the only proven method known to prevent the spread of infection is to destroy all birds in a circular area around the point of infection.
A common humane method of killing the affected birds is to place them in a sealed area and introduce carbon dioxide (CO2) for a given amount of time.
Accurate, monitoring and control of CO2 levels is essential in order to ensure the most humane treatment of infected stock.
Edinburgh Instruments have supplied numerous Guardian Plus gas monitors for this application, to both measure and directly control CO2 Levels.
The Guardian' Plus series provide high accuracy detection and measurement of CO2 or CH4 gases, where measurement ranges between 0-3000ppm and 0-100% by volume are required.
Suitable for a wide range of requirements, these wall mounted units can detect gases from sampling points up to 30metres away, using the integral sampling system.
Incorporated is a four digit LCD and alarm set points in a tough plastic enclosure that has an IP54 rating, protecting against the ingress of particulate and water.
This innovative product measures 267x258x148mm and weighs only 2.5kg and is both easy to install while requiring the minimum of maintenance.
