ARA – single gas detector

The Ion Science ARA is a low-maintenance single gas detector designed for continuous personal gas monitoring with easy one-button operation. This wearable detector alerts workers immediately when gas levels exceed preset safety thresholds and is suitable for industrial safety, confined space entry, site-wide monitoring and other life-critical applications. Versions are available for gases including hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, oxygen and sulfur dioxide.
