Early Warning Handheld Chemical Detector

ChemProX is a compact, early‑warning handheld detector that delivers fast, reliable CWA/TIC detection while giving the team real‑time situational awareness. Its orthogonal sensing (open‑loop IMS plus multiple semiconductors) reduces false alarms, while the trend‑line display helps operators locate unknown chemical threats before alarms trigger. Built‑in wireless networking, GPS/group location, and an embedded chemical database and instructions turn a single handheld into a connected team sensor. No consumables are required, and routine use needs only a simple confidence check—keeping maintenance low.

Why teams choose ChemProX

• Situational awareness, not just alarms: Share live locations and detections across a team (up to 10 devices/group) and to the command centre.
• Find the source faster: Trend‑line view shows rising concentrations so crews can track towards a source safely.
• Train without extra kit: Built‑in simulation mode and optional chemical simulation sources enable realistic exercises without risk.
• Tough and ready: MIL‑STD‑810G environmental, 1.22 m drop, blowing sand/dust and immersion (inlet closed); MIL‑STD‑461G EMI/RFI.
• Flexible power & mounting: Li‑ion or 3×AA packs, hot‑swap with a power bank; UAV/UGV use without integration.

FAQs

How does ChemProX lower false alarms?

By using orthogonal detection, an enhanced IMS core with additional sensors, and software classification.

Do we need a separate training device?

No. Use the built‑in training mode or optional sim sources to create realistic scenarios.
