- Patented Fence Electrode Technology: Independently verified as the best performing PID for resisting humidity and contamination without affecting accuracy.
- Upgradeable Functionality: Users can add features like ppb sensitivity, data logging, or Health & Safety mode (TWA/STEL) remotely via firmware without returning the unit.
- Ruggedized Design: Featuring a "push-to-release" battery button for secure connection and a TPE overmoulded LCD to reduce display damage.
- Instant Awareness Alarms: Includes a loud 95 dBA sounder, dual-color flashing LEDs (Red/Amber), and a vibrating alarm for high-noise environments.
- Extended Warranty: Offers up to a 5-year warranty when registered online within one month of purchase.
As a second-generation device, the Tiger XT utilizes world-leading Photoionisation Detection (PID) technology to identify over 750 VOCs and toxic compounds. It features a robust, semi-conductive thermoplastic elastomer outer molding and improved internal components, such as brass inserts to prevent damage to the assembly. The device is engineered to provide stable readings even in high humidity or heavily contaminated atmospheres.
