AnaloxSub Aspida Personal CO2 & O2 Monitor for Diving Systems
Part no. SAACAAAU01AThe Sub Aspida is the ideal solution to protect you and your team from the dangers of enriched oxygen (O₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂) or inert gas leaks.
Overview
Subsea CO2 and oxygen monitor for diving and hyperbaric systems. Reliable gas detection in underwater and high-pressure environments.
CO₂ & O₂ Monitoring
Unlike industrial sensing monitors, the Sub Aspida was designed with pressure corrected sensors, giving you 100% confidence in your readings.
The Sub Aspida has been upgraded to support those who work at high altitude.
Pressure tested to 10,000 ft or 700 MB, the Sub Aspida will remain accurate and reliable when monitoring CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere, meaning you can concentrate on the job at hand!
Accuracy
The Sub Aspida also finds itself at home inside of submarine rescue vehicles (SRV), tourist submarines and research submarines. The Sub Aspida produces accurate readings over a pressure range of 800-1200 MB, without false alarms. Having the option to power the unit from AA alkaline batteries in the event of the submarine losing power makes it a perfect back up safety monitoring system in order to comply with the rules around SRVs and life support stores with emergency monitoring being needed for a minimum of three days.
Regulations
For the transportation of COVID-19 vaccines requiring large quantities of dry ice, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) advise that:
- CO₂ sensors installed or carried in the aircraft or worn by the pilots and other crew members will assist the operator and crew in recognizing hazardous concentrations of CO₂ and implementing effective risk controls.
- Pilot training on specific conditions and procedures can improve pilot decision-making in the event of a CO₂ detector alert or other system abnormalities.
To persons conducting operations under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulation (14 CFR) Parts 121, 125, 129, 135 on safety issues related to the transportation of COVID-19 vaccines by air, which may require larger than typical quantities of dry ice for preservation.
Operators must comply with applicable federal regulations pertaining to the carriage of dangerous goods (49 CFR parts 171-180).
Pressure
Whether you are measuring the atmosphere in an aircraft at altitude or in a submarine under the sea, the Sub Aspida can take the pressure.
It is critical to use pressure compensated sensors in these environments, otherwise it’s likely that you will get false readings, exposing your team to potentially dangerous levels of gas.
Relax, let the Sub Aspida take the pressure.
