BX616 Portable Multiple Gas Detector: A Rugged Solution for Industrial Hazardous Gas Monitoring

Industrial workplaces—from underground mines to construction tunnels—face persistent risks from hazardous gas leaks, which threaten worker safety and operational continuity. To address this critical challenge, a leading provider of gas detection technology based in Zhengzhou, China, has launched the **BX616 Portable Multiple Gas Detector**—a durable, feature-rich device engineered to deliver precise, reliable gas monitoring in the toughest environments.

Designed for versatility, the BX616 targets four high-priority gases for workplace safety:

- Oxygen (O₂): 0-25%vol detection range, with low (19.5%vol) and high (23.5%vol) alarm presets.

- Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S): 0-100ppm range, including TWA (1ppm) and STEL (5ppm) alerts, plus low (6ppm) and high (12ppm) alarms.

- Carbon Monoxide (CO): 0-500ppm range, with TWA (16ppm), STEL (24ppm), low (16ppm), and high (32ppm) alarms.

- Combustible Gases (LEL): 0-100%LEL range, with low (20%LEL) and high (50%LEL) alarm thresholds.

Built to withstand harsh conditions, the BX616 features an **IP66 watertight rating** and a rubberized, bump-proof enclosure—protecting it from dust, water, and impacts common in mining, tunneling, and manufacturing settings. Its intrinsic safety certification (Ex ia IIC T4 Ga, Ex ib db IIC T4 Gb, IECEx TUR 17.0048X, and TÜV 17 ATEX 8115 X) eliminates ignition risks in explosive atmospheres, making it suitable for Zone 1 hazardous areas.

To ensure accuracy, the BX616 requires routine maintenance: a **bump test before each use** to verify alarm functionality (audible, visual, and vibration) and **calibration every 6 months**. Sensor longevity is clearly defined: O₂ sensors last 1 year, while LEL, H₂S, and CO sensors have a 2-year lifespan.

Safety extends to power management: the BX616 uses only FRT-FB101S02-1800mAh batteries and the TEKA018-0652000XX AC adapter for charging. Charging is prohibited in hazardous locations or temperatures below 0℃ (to prevent battery damage), and long-term storage requires recharging every 3 months.

We backs the BX616 with a **12-month warranty** (covering defects under proper use, storage, and shipping) and encourages users to contact its support team for troubleshooting or inquiries.
