The Teledyne PS500 Gas Monitor is a durable, high-performance gas detector designed for confined space entry and industrial safety monitoring. Built with flexibility in mind, it can be configured to detect up to five gases simultaneously, utilising toxic and catalytic sensors, infrared technology, and photoionisation detectors (PID). Thanks to the PS500 Gas Monitor’s “Plug and Play” system, sensor boards can be quickly swapped to adapt to changing gas detection requirements.
Engineered for high-noise and high-risk environments, the PS500 Gas Monitor features a penetrating 95 dBA alarm and a large, high-visibility visual indicator to ensure immediate awareness of gas hazards. With options for pumped, diffusion, or combined sampling, it provides both pre-entry testing and in-shift protection, helping users maximise battery efficiency while maintaining safety.
Housed in a tough, impact-resistant casing, the PS500 Gas Monitor is built to handle the demands of real-world industrial use. It includes advanced data logging and a long-lasting NiMH battery, making it suitable for extended deployment in field conditions. A wide range of calibration options ensures the device can be tailored for a variety of gases.

No, however we would suggest that you undertake a Confined Space Course which covers the use of gas monitors. Our sister company Citrus Training offers these courses.
Taking into consideration the ATEX directive, manufacturer recommendations and your own company risk assessments, it is recommended that you bump test your monitor before every use, it is true that the law is not clear and doesn’t use the all-important word “MUST” and the regulation only surrounds flammable gases, not toxic, but you can guarantee that the authorities would want to see evidence of such testing should the worst happen!
A bump test is the only way to test that the whole gas detector unit is working properly. It checks that the sensors respond to the target gas, it also verifies that the display reacts and it confirms that all the alarms are activated and the detector alarm functions properly. The principle behind bump testing remains the same across all manufacturers, with a target gas applied to the monitor for usually around 30-40 seconds with a flow rate of around 0.5lpm, this exposes the sensors to the target gas and the monitor (depending on manufacturer) will show gas readings and alarms should respond accordingly. You would normally expect to see readings within 10% of the target gas applied.
