The D16 PortaSens III is an outstanding device for gas leak detection, personal safety, spot checks, confined space entry, and datalogging of gas levels in a workplace. While it excels as a portable monitor, it can also serve as a fixed monitor, logging data over extended periods. This versatile tool is designed to ensure a safe and healthy environment by accurately detecting and measuring a variety of gases.
Versatile Multi-Gas Detection
The D16 PortaSens III is equipped with multi-gas sensor capabilities, allowing it to measure a wide range of gases with a single device. Users can select the gas sensor they require or add additional sensors to their order. Each gas sensor comes with a standard range but can be calibrated to custom ranges to meet specific needs.

Key Features of the D16 PortaSens III
- Interchangeable “Smart Sensors”: Capable of detecting over 30 different gases.
- Internal Sample Pump and External Sampling Wand: Ensures accurate and efficient sampling.
- Two NiMH “D” Cell Batteries and Charger: Provides long-lasting power.
- One-Hand Pistol Grip Design: Easy and ergonomic to use.
- Touch Screen and Back-Lit Color Display: Enhances usability in all lighting conditions.
- Instantaneous and Timed-Sampling Modes: Offers flexibility in sampling methods.
- Visual and Audible Alarms: Alerts users to hazardous conditions.
- Internal Data-Logger with USB Connection: Simplifies data management and transfer.
Advanced Design and Functionality
The D16 PortaSens III builds on the success of its predecessor, the PortaSens II, which has been in service since 2003. It features an internal redesign with a modern USB computer interface, a color touch-screen display, and improved pump control. The D16 is ideal for performing regular leak checks in gas storage areas, around process equipment, and piping or in confined spaces prior to entry. Its easy one-hand operation, internal sample pump, and flexible sampling wand allow pinpoint location of gas leaks.
Interchangeable Smart Sensors
A unique feature of the D16 is its ability to measure various gases by simply inserting the appropriate sensor. This means one detector can be used to measure over 30 different gases, reducing the need for multiple detectors. Sensors can be changed quickly and easily without the need for recalibration, thanks to ATI’s smart sensor modules. Each module includes a sensor, amplifier, and memory, storing calibration data for immediate use upon installation.
Data Logging Capabilities
The D16 is equipped with onboard data logging, capable of storing up to 4 GB of data. Data logging is easy to set up and use, with intervals settable via the touchscreen interface. Data can be easily transferred to a PC through the USB port and exported to CSV files for analysis with common spreadsheet software.
