The Jerome® J405 portable Mercury vapour monitor is redefining the portable Mercury vapour analyser market. Significant performance enhancements and modern communication capabilities have been combined to create a new option for Mercury spill detection and cleanup analysis.

Like its 411 & 431X predecessors, the J405 utilises the industry-proven, inherently stable and reliable gold film sensor technology and simple, one-button operation. The ergonomically-designed handle, lighter exterior case and significantly lower detection capabilities (0.5 μg/m3) have reset the bar for portable and easy, low-level Mercury detection instrumentation.

The larger display, on-board data logging, auto zeroing, and battery-powered sensor regeneration will simplify operation and maintenance in the field. Menu-driven programming, USB data communications and SCADA compatibility via 4-20 ma output further enhance data retrieval, storage and reporting.

The Jerome 431-XE mercury vapour analyser uses a patented gold film sensor for accurate detection and measurement of toxic mercury vapour in the air. This portable hand-held unit can easily be carried to locations with mercury concerns for applications such as industrial hygiene monitoring, mercury spill clean up and mercury exclusion testing. Simple, push-button operation allows users to measure mercury levels from 0.003 to 0.999 mg/m3 in seconds. Jerome 431-XE Mercury Vapour Detector

The gold film sensor is inherently stable and selective to mercury, eliminating interferences common to ultraviolet analysers, such as water vapour and hydro-carbons. When the sample cycle is activated, the internal pump in the 431-XE draws a precise volume of air over the sensor. Mercury in the sample is adsorbed and integrated by the sensor, registering it as proportional change in electrical resistance. The instrument computes the concentration of mercury in milligrams per cubic meter or nanograms, and displays the final result in the LCD readout. An improved film regeneration circuit in the 431-XE makes the sensor last even longer than earlier models.

Additional accessories are available to customise the Jerome 431-XE to meet individual application needs. An optional communications configuration allows data logging and computer interface capabilities. For data acquisition during portable surveys, a Jerome data logger plugs into the 431-XE. Using the Jerome Communications (JCS) software, the analyser and data logger download recorded data to the computer for analysis, printout, and permanent record storage. The JCS software can also program the instrument for stand-alone monitoring. If the sensor becomes saturated while the 431-XE is attached to the data logger or computer, the analyser automatically regenerates the sensor and then resumes sampling. They can also be used as collection devices for applications such as gas stream analysis. An internal option board allows auto-zeroing, DC power operation, timed regeneration, and timed sampling during prolonged unattended sampling periods. The option board also allows external fresh air solenoid support and 4-20 mA or 0-2 V analogue output. A moulded hard carrying case or soft field case give added versatility and organised storage for the instrument and its accessories.
