The new generation IP68 rated Sentient handheld unit is widely regarded as the most cost effective, sophisticated and low maintenance gas detection device in the mining industry today.

This hi-tech instrument, available from Booyco Electronics, was developed specifically to improve safety in underground mining and in any confined spaces in surface plants.

It is the first multi-gas instrument in South Africa that also measures relative humidity as a standard offering.

The Sentient is also available with Fire Patrol capabilities. Distinguished by its bright red seal, the Fire Patrol Sentient is inserted into outstations located in specific areas underground, where it records date, time, gas and humidity measurements.

A downloading network configuration is capable of gathering information from up to 500 Sentient devices in a matter of minutes. All this equipment is connected via a network to a downloading server, where specialised BEAMS software enables various reports to be generated, such as detailed information on gas detected in the underground environment, peak values, TWA values, pre-shift tested values, calibration reports and “no movement reports”.

BEAMS software is web-based, making it possible to email these reports to relevant personnel automatically.

The low maintenance Sentient has no buttons; instead an innovative “tap” sensor ensures that the instrument remains watertight. Another unique feature is a “drop protection” capability that automatically switches the sensor off if the instrument is dropped, reducing possible maintenance time and costs.
