Gas Meter Training Simulator
Read full descriptionHide full description
Gas Meter Simulator puts a working multi-gas instrument in your pocket so firefighters, HazMat technicians, and instructors can build real air-monitoring judgment without burning calibration gas or tying up a live meter. Run it solo to learn the instrument, or connect two devices: one trainee holds the meter as the Sampler while an instructor drives the atmosphere as the Controller. NEW IN 3.0: SPATIAL SCENARIOS Preprogram how every gas reads as a crew moves from the street to the source. The trainee drags a position slider, or an instructor advances them stop by stop, and the meter tells the story of the atmosphere in real time. A library of 23 built-in incidents ships with the app: carbon monoxide, ammonia, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, phosphine, ozone, fuel and solvent vapor, confined-space asphyxiants, clandestine labs, a working fire, and a worst-case unknown atmosphere. BUILD YOUR METER Before a run, the trainee chooses which sensors their instrument carries, from quick presets to any custom array. A crew on a standard 5-gas rig and a crew on a corrosive loadout see the very same incident in completely different ways, driving home the lesson that your sensor array has to match the call. TRUE SENSOR BEHAVIOR Every incident is modeled as a full atmosphere. Cross-sensitivity artifacts read on the channels they actually affect, so trainees learn to spot a false cyanide reading driven by an acid gas, a carbon monoxide ghost from hydrogen, or a chlorine number that is really an oxidizer. Readings also shift with sampling height, so heavier-than-air gases climb with the nozzle down and lighter-than-air gases with the nozzle up. ALSO INSIDE A sensor training library covering the full detector suite. Guided scenarios with stop-and-think coaching and debriefs. A meter operation guide and diagnostic pattern reference. Scenario import from a simple text file. Alarm lights, peak and min capture, fresh-air calibration, and pump-fault drills. Built by working responders for the way monitoring is actually taught. Not a game. A trainer.
