What are the advantages of Open Path Detectors?
a. Direct fast response to changes in gas concentrations b. Provide gas surveillance over a large area c. Speed of response from 0.5 up to 10 seconds, which is 5-30 times faster than point detectors d. More cost effective than point-type sensors over large areas e. Low maintenance, since equipment is not subject to poisoning f. Unaffected by high background gas levels g. Unaffected by environmental conditions such as heat, humidity, snow, rain, etc.
