Waste Gate Technology is a powerful ReadySET advantage that
dramatically extends the life of its particulate filters. This exclusive aspiration
technique diverts most of the particulate matter that would normally load the
detector filters, giving ReadySET longer life and more capacity per maintenance

Environmental compensation – a first among such devices – opens the door

to projects that prove impractical for competing detectors. Self-calibration
