Gas Detector Microtector III G888/C5 - Compact and Lightweight for Personal Gas Protection

Product information "Gas Detector Microtector III G888/C5 - Compact and Lightweight for Personal Gas Protection"

The Microtector III G888C/5 is a portable multi-gas detector for monitoring up to five gases (Made in Germany). Compact, lightweight, and highly robust, it protects professionals during operations in manholes, sewers, pumping stations, and other Zone 1/2 hazardous areas. An ideal, cost-effective solution for professionals in wastewater technology, industry, and utilities – anywhere gas hazards need to be detected reliably.

Product Features

  • 5-gas measurement: Combustible gases (LEL), CO2, CO, O2, H2S
  • Certification: Explosion-proof according to ATEX for use in Zone 1 and 2
  • Housing: Shock-resistant, rubberized polycarbonate, IP67 (waterproof and dustproof)
  • Display and operation: Clear display, 180° rotatable, intuitive 3-button navigation, integrated LED flashlight
  • Operating time: Battery life up to 65 hours
  • Alarms: Audible, visual, vibration alarm with man-down function
  • Training mode: Realistic alarm scenarios for training and exercises
  • Internal data logger: Stores and documents up to 30,000 measurements

Practical Benefits

  • Compact & lightweight: At only ~450 g, perfect for daily field use, confined spaces, and long shifts
  • Rugged personal protection: Triple alarm plus man-down function for safety in critical situations
  • High flexibility: Combines sensors for combustible, toxic gases and oxygen in one device
  • Easy operation: Large buttons allow intuitive control even with work gloves or in wet environments

Typical Applications

  • Routine operations in sewers, manholes, and wastewater structures
  • Maintenance and servicing in pumping stations, wastewater treatment plants, and biogas facilities
  • Gas measurements in confined spaces such as tanks, silos, or technical chambers
  • Gas safety checks in industrial plants and Zone 1/2 hazardous areas

Which gas detector suits your application?

The Microtector III G888C/5 is the compact solution for routine work in manholes and sewers where no pump or remote sampling is required.

Looking for a device for remote measurements or pre-entry checks with active sampling? We recommend the Polytector III G999C/5 with integrated pump.
