The Ventis Pro5 on this page contains a Lithium-Ion battery.

In the dropdown menu above, sensors are listed first by the number of included sensors, and second, alphabetically by the detected gases within each group.

This device is also available with several different power sources. There is a separate listing for the Ventis Pro5 with each type of power source - each can be navigated to from this page.

The Ventis Pro5 is a five-gas monitor with a dedicated man-down alarm, panic button, and custom on-screen messages, making it easy for workers to communicate and operate. The Ventis Pro5 is the most flexible connected monitor on the market, giving you the power to manage worker safety anytime, anywhere - even in the most remote settings. Wireless connectivity in the Ventis Pro5 connects workers to iNet Now live monitoring software via cellular, wi-fi, satellite, or to peers on-site through LENS Wireless.

• Eliminate the need for multiple pieces of equipment by using Ventis Pro5 for lone worker tracking, confined space entry, and personal monitoring
• Train workers on one, multi-purpose gas monitor and reduce the risk and investment of having different devices in the field
• Improve team and site safety by locally sharing alarms and gas readings between wirelessly connected Ventis Pro5 monitors
• Get real-time location and alarm data directly from Ventis Pro5 gas monitors to a designated safety contact with the optional cellular or wi-fi battery pack.
• Reinforce safe behavior with programmable alarm action messages like “EVACUATE” or “VENTILATE” based on alarm level

The Ventis Pro5 offers sensor and configuration options for multiple industries and applications, including standard and non-standard 4-gas, 5-gas, and a methane IR sensor, making it a cost-effective option for personal protection and confined space applications.

The Ventis Pro5 can be enhanced with iAssign Technology to simplify user assignments. Using a pre-programmed iAssign Tag (sold separately), the operator can wirelessly enter their name into an instrument simply by tapping the tag to that instrument. Now all data recorded in the instrument will be tagged with the user’s name. This allows users to carry different gas monitors each day while still having a clear data record of who had an instrument when it went into alarm.

More and more companies are turning to gas detectors linked by mesh networks to connect workers and share gas readings without costly infrastructure or the hassles of IT setup.

Mesh networks use monitors as nodes to efficiently transmit data. In a mesh network, the data hops from node to node until it reaches its destination. Think of a mesh network as students in a classroom: A student on one side of the room can pass a note to the other side of the room by handing it to a neighbor, who then passes the note to their own neighbor, all the way across the room.

Whereas other networks might fail if one device loses connection, mesh networks can be self-healing. Self-healing mesh networks, such as the ones Industrial Scientific devices use, continue to transmit information across the network even if one node or device disconnects. This means workers will always have a connection to other workers on the network.

Other peer-to-peer wireless networks require IT setup, infrastructure, and a central controller. The beauty of mesh networks—such as LENS Wireless from Industrial Scientific—is that they offer workers out-of-the-box operability without IT setup.

Mesh networks give safety managers several more benefits over other peer-to-peer wireless technologies, including:

• Improved Site Communications: Though gas hazards are an immediate issue for the workers exposed to them, they can also threaten others nearby. A mesh network extends worker visibility up to a mile away, so workers are always aware of hazards on-site.
• Faster Response Times: With a mesh network, there's no need to rely on a central controller or laptop to track peer readings. Every worker with a connected device can see peer readings and alarms, giving them immediate visibility into hazards so they can make smarter, faster, and safer decisions.
• Safer Emergency Response: Would-be rescuer fatalities are still too common, but mesh networks can help change that. Connected gas monitors can ensure panic and man-down alarms are relayed to other workers in the area so they can see what they are about to encounter.
• Smarter Decision-Making: Mesh networks ensure that every connected device receives peer alerts and gas readings so workers have all the information they need before making decisions. Informed decisions are smarter decisions that ensure the safety of all workers.
