Ion Science ARA — Disposable Single Gas Detector (H2S, CO, O2, SO2)
Ion Science ARA Single Gas Detector
The Ion Science ARA is a wearable, intrinsically safe single gas detector built around a maintenance-free ownership model: single-button operation, no sensor changes, no calibration program, and a two-year service life from activation. For fleets of workers who need reliable personal gas protection without the overhead of a docking, bump-test, and calibration regime, the ARA is a substantially lower total-cost option than a serviceable instrument.
Hibernation models (ARA100H, ARA200H) can be switched on and off between deployments, extending useful life and carrying a three-year warranty. Hibernation activation and deactivation requires the ARA IR Link (part 908201), sold separately.
APPLICATIONS
Confined Space Entry: Personal H2S, CO, or O2 protection for entrants and attendants.
Water and Wastewater: H2S monitoring in wet wells, digesters, manholes, and lift stations.
Oil, Gas, and Refining: Sour service H2S protection and SO2 monitoring.
Utilities and Construction: CO exposure monitoring around engines, generators, and hot work.
Contractor and Visitor Programs: Issue-and-forget personal monitors for short-term or occasional site users.
Emergency Response: Pre-positioned detectors kept ready in hibernation until deployed.
