General Information   

The VOXI is one of the most advanced fixed monitors available for ppb (parts per billion) 
detection of VOC (Volatile Organic Compound). It operates on 12-30 VDC power and provides 
various outputs including OLED digital read-out, 4-20 mA analog output, RS-485 digital output, 
CAN or Modbus, 3 relays, and one port to an external strobe or horn. The VOXI offers 
two models that measure from low ppb to a high range up to 5000 ppm for different applications. 
Novel designs of the photo-ionization detector (PID) and ultraviolet (UV) lamp provide 
outstanding sensitivity, stability and reproducibility. An on-board heater prevents condensation 
at low temperatures. Configuration and testing is performed conveniently using a mobile App 
and Bluetooth controller. Options include real time remote monitoring with a built-in wireless 
modem using mPower Suite application software.
