World’s Most Advanced PID Now even Better! The PhoCheck Tiger hand held VOC detector with revolutionary PID technology provides the best available detection and software features, all ready to use straight out of the box!

Best Proven PID Performance. Ion Science patented Fence Electrode Technology is independently verified as the best performing PID for fast response and accurate readings, whilst effectively minimising humidity and contamination effects. The instrument’s exceptional operation in high humidity environments is achieved without impairing other performance features.
Dynamic Detection Range of 1 ppb to 20,000 ppm (gas dependant) offering the widest detection range available. Detect VOCs down to ultra low ppb toxic thresholds levels up to 20,000 ppm. Readings can be displayed as mg/m3 or ppm.
Ready to Use Right Out of the Box with no complicated programming and set up procedures via a PC to perform basic functions.
Unique 6 Pin miniPID Detector Cell with anti-contamination design dramatically extends run time. The easy change low cost filter, lamps and electrode stack can be replaced in seconds.
Long Life, Field Replaceable Li-Ion Batteries with up to 30 hours of use between charges. Batteries can be replaced safely, even in hazardous environments. Fast battery charging allows the instrument to be fully charged in six hours. 8 hours of use can be achieved from 1.5 hours charge. Dry cell battery options also available.
Rapid Response in Less Than Two Seconds - the fastest on the market - and as quick to clear down!
Response Factors for Over 450 Gases. The instrument is pre programmed with over 450 gas factors.
Fastest USB Communication on the Market. Directly connects to a PC via USB.
Selectable Audible, Visual and Vibrating Alarms. The instrument has two sounders reaching 95 dBA, two bright flashing LEDs and a vibration alarm for clear indication of gases present. Each function can be selected, switched off or volume turned down as required.
Dedicated Flow Fail Sensor. The instrument’s separate flow sensor triggers an alarm when the flow drops below 100 cc/min for added safety.
Intrinsically Safe to European, Canadian and US approvals for safe use in flammable areas.
Simple, One Handed Operation. The PhoCheck Tiger is light, well balanced, comfortable to hold and comes with a convenient wrist strap as standard.
Easy Key Pad Operation and Icon Driven Menu for ease of use across global markets. The soft keys are large enough to be easily operated, even when wearing the thickest gloves.
Large, Clear Back-lit Display allows for easy viewing in any light condition.
Integrated Torch for directing the probe in to dimly lit areas.
Intuitive PC Tiger Software Supplied on USB Drive. For users who wish to customise the instrument and download data; settings can be configured for one or multiple units, via one screen.

Rugged Design
Withstands use within the harshest of environments.
Robust Rubber Boot
Gives maximum protection to the instrument. Can be easily removed if required.
Designed to IP65
PhoCheck Tiger provides optimal resistance to moisture, dust and contamination.

Upgradeability Options

Fully upgradeable directly from users own desktop! PhoCheck Tiger is a fully upgradeable instrument with multiple application driven software modules to choose from. A base unit can be upgraded with data logging, health and safety mode and ppb options remotely, from the users own desktop without even being returned to the factory.

Data Logging
Add data logging to your instrument for the following features:

  • Store up to 120,000 data points with date and time stamp
  • Event logging
  • Push to log (single point)
  • Timed logging
  • Continuous logging
  • Log on alarm
  • Zone logging

Health and Safety Mode
Add Health and Safety mode to include:

  • Time Weighted Average and Short Term Exposure Limit alarms using preset tables
  • Selectable national standards NIOSH, OSHA and EH40 ppb Capability

Add ppb for the widest detection range available on the market:

  • Detect VOCs from 1 ppb to 20,000 ppm

(Note: a base unit detects VOCs from 0.1 ppm to 20,000 ppm).
Bluetooth and Wireless Communication

  • Future Bluetooth and Wireless communication options will be available.
