Product Update – New Sensors Added to Industrial Scientific Radius BZ1

Four New Sensors Added to the Industrial Scientific Radius BZ1 Portable Area Gas Monitor

Designed to detect gas hazards without the hassle of elaborate infrastructure changes, the Industrial Scientific Radius BZ1 can now detect up to seven gases simultaneously using 22 sensor options including a photoionisation detector (PID)

Within the removable SafeCore module, the BZ1 now supports four new sensors. The new sensors are:

Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂)
Hydrogen Chloride (HCl)
Hydrocarbon Infrared (HC IR)
Methane Infrared (CH₄ IR)

The BZ1 offers sensor configuration options for multiple industries and applications, making it an ideal solution for a range of area gas monitoring applications including:

Fence line/perimeter monitoring
Fire and hazmat
Hot work
Pulp and paper
Wastewater
Food production

Note: To support the new sensors, your docking station firmware must be 10.8 or higher.

Can all of the new sensors be used with both diffusion and pumped instruments?

No, the HCl sensor is only compatible with a diffusion (non-pumped) device. All other sensors can be used in diffusion or pumped units.

What happens if an HCl sensor is installed in a pumped device?

An error is displayed on the instrument to prevent unintended usage. The HCL sensor will display “ERR” on the screen to make the sensor inoperable—this indicates that only this sensor is impacted, and all other correctly installed sensor will operate as intended.

What tubing is recommended for ClO2?

To monitor ClO₂, Teflon-lined tubing should be used when sampling.

What happens if a sensor is installed in the wrong position?

An error is displayed on the instrument to prevent unintended usage. The sensor will display “ERR” on the screen to make the sensor inoperable—this indicates that only this sensor is impacted, and all other correctly installed sensor will operate as intended.

What SafeCore Firmware Version is required to utilise the new sensors?

SafeCore v4.30.07 is required for each of the new sensors being added.
