Macurco Adds New Portable Monitor – PM500

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW PM500 Portable Monitor

Sioux Falls, SD – January 2025

Macurco Gas Detection, a leading developer of gas detection solutions for fire and security, HVAC, industrial, and personal safety, is proud to announce the launch of its latest product, the AimSafety PM500 Multi-Gas Portable Monitor.

This rugged handheld, combined with a strong internal pump, can simultaneously measure up to six gases to allow for safe entry in confined spaces and hard-to-reach areas. PM500 monitors are equipped with audible, visual, and vibrating alarms to alert users of unsafe gas concentrations. The large backlit LCD provides sampled gas concentrations in real time along with configurable alarm setpoints (low, high, STEL, and TWA). Standard target gases include carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), oxygen (O2) and combustible gases. Additional gas options include ammonia (NH3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and others.

We’re excited to introduce our new PM500 Series of Multi-gas monitors with a built-in pump.  This essential addition to the AimSafety product line completes our full suite of portable gas monitoring solutions.  Engineered for rugged performance, this instrument boasts a large, easy-to-read screen, IP67 protection, and the ability to detect up to six gases.  With data and event logging, plus a quick connector for seamless transitions between sampling and calibration modes, it’s designed for the toughest environments.  The integrated pump allows users to safely pull air samples from potentially hazardous confined spaces before entry, ensuring real-time readings from a secure location. – Jace Krumwiede, Product Manager Industrial Safety

The PM500 monitor offers essential safety and reliability, making it an ideal solution for industries served by our TracXP Industrial fixed and wireless products. This device is widely used to protect workers in environments such as oilfields, refineries, and petrochemical plants, where common hazards like hydrogen sulfide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and combustible gases are present. Sampling monitors are also employed in water treatment facilities to ensure tanks are free from toxic gases like chlorine or sulfur dioxide before maintenance work begins.

The PM500 delivers accurate oxygen level measurements and, when paired with the SPK sampling probe kit, allows for precise gas sampling in hard-to-reach locations. The SPK kit enables users to advance the probe into long vessels and check for leaks in difficult-to-access piping and valves. Additionally, the combination of the PM500 and sufficient tubing ensures that areas requiring above-ground entry, such as manholes, can be monitored for toxic concentrations of carbon monoxide and other gases, confirming that hazards are effectively mitigated through ventilation or other control measures. This monitor is also highly effective in agricultural silos and nitrogen fertilizer production plants, where ammonia and nitrogen dioxide are commonly found.
