The mSquad System is a quickly-deployable set of mobile multi-gas meters that communicate wirelessly to a Squad leader up to 0.8 km (0.5 miles) away.
The system is ideal for Hazmat Response, firefighters, temporary venue protection, and all emergency responders. An mSquad consists of one Head monitor (MP400H) and up to 7 Soldier monitors (MP400S) that communicate with each other.
Each 4 or 5-gas monitor has options for a full range of sensors for toxic gases including but not limited to, oxygen (O2), combustibles (LEL) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The MP400S can also have a PID for volatile organic compounds (VOCS).
In addition to high gas concentration alarms, all Squad units receive any Man-Down alarms to notify them remotely of a worker in distress. All the Squad monitors are Class I Division I certified to operate in hazardous zones.
The entire mSquad is mobile, running on batteries for up to 12 hours. The MP400S and MP400H have rugged construction and easy-to-learn 2-button operation.
