Details: This is an ultrasensitive OZONE detector with 0.01 ppm resolution. It is 10x more sensitive than a regular meter as it employs a high-quality ozone sensor made in Switzerland. Although ozone gas is used in many applications as a "sanitizing" agent, too much can be harmful. Ozone is a reactive gas and a well-documented air pollutant and irritant. The California Ambient Air Quality Standard (CAAQS) for outdoor ozone is 0.09 ppm for a 1-hour average and 0.07 ppm for an 8-hour average. OSHA guidelines state that ozone in the workplace should never exceed 0.1 ppm over an 8-hour day. NIOSH outlines a recommended exposure limit of 0.10 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) and an immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) ozone level of 5 ppm or higher. Please note that ozone is a unique gas and cannot be calibrated with a calibration gas bottle setup like most gases. Order your ozone calibration service , which must be performed in our laboratory with special calibrated equipment necessary to perform ozone gas detector calibration. Please note that detecting ozone is not easy. It is a special gas. It degrades; it is heavy and sticky. Review our best practices guide to ozone measurements.
An alternative is the FD-600-O3-LOW, which does have a built-in pump, making it the best candidate for point sampling and leak detection.
Included: Ozone gas detector, belt clip, sling, user manual, USB charging cable, calibration cover, and certified calibration certificate.
Calibration Options:
1. Professional Calibration: Serviced by Forensics
Calibration Kit:
No ozone calibration gas kits exist for ozone since ozone gas must be generated in a special lab. We recommend using our calibration service to calibrate your ozone detector and using our ozone bump tester to validate operation via bump testing.
