About AGS Technology™ Airspace engineers have set the standard by providing the marketplace a family of safe, economically sound, gas monitors that utilize patent-pending Advanced Gas Sensor (AGS) TechnologyTM. The AGS TechnologyTM provides a highly sensitive sensor that responds quickly in detecting lethal gases. Even low concentrations of CO can be detected within seconds. The environment is sampled every 4 seconds while alarming. The AGS TechnologyTM allows Airspace Monitors to warrant five years of cost-effective use. Our solid-state sensor design means there is nothing to wear-out or replace. The sensor's performance remains consistent over time. Airspace engineering has overcome the power-limitations of earlier solid-state based sensors. The Airspace Monitor uses just two AA alkaline batteries. Up to three-month's of typical 8-hour shift operation is possible. Airspace Monitors have been rigorously tested and all models have the approval by the Underwriters Laboratory, Inc., for use in Class 1, Division 1, Group A, B, C, and D, T3C environments. The Airspace Monitors are ideal for markets such as fire, police, EMT, HVAC, industrial hygiene, camping, pilots, boating, security, and all applications where the detection of carbon monoxide and other lethal gases is desired. The cost of ownership is significantly lower with Airspace AGS TechnologyTM. By eliminating sensor replacement expense and the need to use expensive certified calibration gas for regularly scheduled calibration the Airspace Gas Monitors provides the lowest cost of ownership available.
