Industrial Scientific products we list
Ordering Industrial Scientific gas monitors: what we need
These instruments are built to order around a sensor list. State each gas you need, for example LEL, O2, CO and H2S, and the LEL sensor type if your site standard names one. Say whether a pump is required, which battery, and the approval marking your site accepts. Add chargers, docking stations and test gas fittings if needed. For spare sensors, send the instrument model, its serial number and the sensor part number.

FAQ
Questions about Industrial Scientific
Common questions about Industrial Scientific equipment, part numbers and supply to Oman and the GCC.
01How many gases can the Ventis Pro5 monitor?
The manufacturer states up to five gases at the same time. Its sensor list includes combustible gas, oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, ammonia and others, and each instrument is built with the combination chosen at order. List the gases you need and we will check that the combination exists in the manufacturer's configuration.
02What is the difference between a personal monitor and the Radius BZ1?
A personal monitor such as the Ventis Pro5 is worn by one worker and protects that person. The Radius BZ1 is an area monitor: a larger unit set on the ground near the job to warn everyone nearby. Industrial Scientific describes the two working together over its wireless link, so alarms can be shared.
03Do I need a pump on a gas monitor?
A diffusion instrument measures the air that reaches it and is normal for personal protection. A pump draws a sample through tubing, which is what you need to test a confined space from outside before entry. The Ventis Pro5 is offered with an optional pump. Tell us which way your crews work.
04How do I order replacement sensors?
Sensors are specific to the instrument family. Send the monitor model, the serial number and, if possible, the part number printed on the old sensor or shown in the manual. We match it against the manufacturer's spare parts list so that the sensor and the instrument version agree.
05Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of Industrial Scientific?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier, not a distributor of Industrial Scientific. We source the monitors through commercial channels, check the configuration against the manufacturer's documentation, and provide the manufacturer's datasheet and the certificates it issues with the instrument, on request.
