Unmatched Sensitivity Across a Wide Concentration Range
Featuring a high sensitivity of (0.1 μg/Nm³) the EMP-3 can accurately detect even minute traces of mercury. Its standard measuring range extends up to 2000 μg/Nm³, which can be further expanded to 20000 μg/Nm³ with the optional Hi-Lutor. This wide capability ensures comprehensive monitoring in all potential exposure scenarios.
Immediate, Real-Time Response for Crucial Decision Making
In the event of a mercury vapor leak, every second matters. The EMP-3 provides real-time concentration readings, crucial for allowing safety officers to make immediate decisions on evacuation, ventilation, or the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This capability is fundamental to effective mercury risk management.

Advanced Design and Enhanced Portability
The EMP-3 boasts a compact, lighter body compared to its predecessors, making it comfortable to use during extended surveys. Its robust, splashed-proof seamless design, complemented by an accompanying double-belt, ensures reliable operation in demanding field environments.

Versatile Options Including AQUA Kit and Hi-Lutor
The EMP-3’s functionality can be extended with a comprehensive range of optional accessories. The AQUA kit allows for reducing vaporization mercury measurements, while the Hi-Lutor enables high-concentration monitoring, making the EMP-3 adaptable to a variety of specialized applications.
Display Data with a Clear view and Tilting Mechanism
The EMP-3 Mercury Survey Meter delivers unparalleled ease of operation, starting with its high-resolution 4.3-inch LCD color touchscreen. This vibrant display offers significantly higher visibility than previous models, presenting real-time mercury data in a clear, user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Enhancing user comfort and data integrity, the innovative tilting leg mechanism allows the splash-proof unit to be easily angled when placed on a desk or bench. This ensures optimal viewing, minimizing glare and parallax errors, whether you're performing handheld field surveys with the double-belt system or conducting monitoring from a fixed position. The EMP-3 is designed for fast, accurate operation in any environment.

Integrated GPS Functionality for Effortless Data Logging
Forget manual location recording; the EMP-3 features a built-in GPS function. This automatically records the geographical coordinates for every measurement point, broadening its utility and ensuring smooth, efficient field work. The seamless data logging simplifies regulatory compliance and post-survey analysis.
