Description


The mPlatoon Wireless Detection System is a quickly deployable set of POLI multi gas meters that communicate wirelessly in real time to a central command station (mLink-P and computer) with full mapping and alarm software. The system is ideal for Hazmat response, temporary venue protection, large industrial site activities, etc. The mLink can communicate up to 2 miles line-of-sight directly to multiple MP400HS monitors. It can also connect over that distance to a MP400H, which can host a sub network of up to 7 MP400S monitors within 0.5 miles. The central mLink modem receives gas reading and any alarm conditions and transmits them by wireless BLE to a local Windows PC or other device within 33 feet. The mPower Suite platform can handle up to 32 remote monitors. Each 4 or 5 gas monitor has options for a full range of sensors for toxic gases including oxygen, combustibles and carbon dioxide. The monitors can be worn on the body or mounted magnetically onto any steel surface for rapid placement in situations like hazmat spills, refinery turnaround or temporary venue protection. The rechargeable batteries run up to 2 days. Specific sensors include electrochemical for carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride, chlorine nitric oxide and others. Also available are pellistor for LEL level combustibles and non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) for Vol% level carbon dioxide or hydrocarbons. The POLI has a rugged construction and easy to learn 2 button operation.

Features

  • Remote, wireless real-time readings and alarms including Man-down and panic
  • Up to 32 remote 4- or 5-gas monitors for a one time license fee, shown on map overview
  • Up to 3 km (2 miles) line-of-sight distance, Router allows communication around obstruction
  • All POLI MP400S/S/HS units alarm if any one unit has an alarm condition
  • Up to 2 day operation on a single Li-Ion battery charge using new low power sensors
