MSA Origin Gas Detector
As a part of an extensive upgrade of equipment the NSWFB has purchased the
MSA Origin gas detector to be stowed on most appliances across the state.
The MSA Origin is a 4 head gas detector capable of detecting:
|
oxygen percentage in the atmosphere, |
|
carbon monoxide (CO), in parts per million, |
|
hydrogen sulphide (H2S), in parts per million, |
|
combustible gases and some combustible vapours as a percentage
of Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). |
It is extremely useful at a variety of incidents such as HazMat;
Fires; Rescues and even Terrorist incidents.
