Reliable VOC detection for challenging environments
FALCO 2 11.7 is ION Science’s latest fixed VOC gas detector, built for precision monitoring in the most demanding conditions. With advanced sensor technology and a robust design, it delivers accurate, continuous detection of a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including those with high ionisation potentials like methylene chloride and ethylene oxide.
Engineered for high humidity and harsh industrial environments, FALCO 2 11.7 combines ION Science’s patented MiniPID 2 sensor, Fence Electrode Technology, and Typhoon anti-condensation system to provide unmatched performance, reliability, and sensor longevity.
FALCO 2 11.7 is built to withstand challenging site conditions including:- Extreme temperatures
- High humidity (0–99% RH, non-condensing)
- Dust and weather exposure
- Industrial-grade installation points with ExD housing and IP65 ingress protection
- Its modular, serviceable design makes replacing lamps and filters simple, minimising downtime and extending overall service life.
