The Nova 560 Series Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) alarm monitors are designed for the continuous detection of SO2 in ambient air. The SO2 sensor is capable of excursions over 100 PPM with no damage. The SO2 sensor is of the disposable electrochemical type with an expected life of between 2-3 years. The sensor needs no warm up time and is ready to go as soon as the monitor is turned on. Two versions are available as shown below.

Models:

  • 560D - Diffusion sensor, no pump and no moving parts; excellent for monitoring in immediate local environment
  • 560P - Pumped sample version; pump pulls air sample from wider area or from another isolated environment, such as from a closed room
