IAQ Meters
General offers five indoor air quality (IAQ) instruments that measure and track four key IAQ parameters: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and two toxic gasesformaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The last two substances have made news lately for their ubiquity, invisibility and toxicity.

Articulating Inspection Cameras
Articulating Inspection Cameras with probes whose tips can be precisely turned (articulated) by the user up to 150 in two directions. Articulation enables inspection of targets located off-axis (even "behind" the probe) or in a tight space without removing the probe. The Inspection Cameras currently offered include the DCS16HPART, its wireless cousin the DCS18HPART, and the DCS665-ART Articulating Inspection Cameras.

Waterproof Inspection Cameras
waterproof inspection cameras have waterproof probes, General's DCS6XX wet/dry cameras, the DCS600A, DCS605, DCS660A, DCS665 & the DCS665-ART, go one step further because their grips and monitors are also waterproof. This feature, unique in the industry, allows users to inspect toilets and water and sewer lines carrying running water without worrying about dropping and "dunking" the instrument.

Heat Index Monitors
eat Index Monitors have the same two broad sets of applications: industrial (HVAC) and consumer monitoring the heat index, RH, dew point and wet-bulb temperature of an outdoor field for the purpose of improving player and worker safety. The industrial heat index monitors come in two sizes; the pocket-sized consumer versions do not.

Refrigerant Leak Detectors
refrigerant leak detectors use a proprietary semiconductor sensor to detect most commercially available HFC, HFO, HC, HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Our newest model, the RLD440 Refrigerant Leak Detector, goes one step further by complying with all five worldwide refrigerant detection testing standards

Indoor/Outdoor Panel Meters
Indoor/Outdoor Panel Meters that can measure, display and compare two temperatures on the same screen have very specific applications. One is comparing the indoor temperature to the temperature sensed by a probe placed under a window. Another is showing how cold it is inside a refrigerated display case, relative to the temperature inside the convenience store or supermarket.

Industrial Inspection Cameras
Industrial Inspection Cameras are our top-of-the-line inspection cameras. They feature glass lenses, superior optics, crystal-clear displays, and compatibility with the thinnest probes on the market. All Industrial Inspection Cameras were recently upgraded to capture VGA (640 x 480 pixel) resolution video clips and remove glare and reflections from them. All cameras in this sub-category are made in Taiwan, making them compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) of 1979a necessity for many buyers with the U.S. military and federal agencies.

Pipe & Duct Inspection Cameras
Pipe & Duct Inspection Camera are video inspection cameras with a probe long enough (roughly 70 ft.) to locate and identify an obstruction in a water or sewer line or HVAC duct by taking close-up video clips and photos of it. The P16PIP probe (also available separately) that comes with the DPS16 Pipe & Duct Inspection Camera has better camera lighting and optics and slightly better resistance to water than the P610-20PR probe that attaches to a recording or non-recording wet/dry inspection camera console.

Water Quality Test Kits
The range of model shapes, sizes and capabilities of water quality test kits reflects the diversity of potential end users, who could just as easily work for a small laboratory as for a giant water treatment plant. The simplest water test kits are pocket-sized and measure only one water-quality parameter, such as pH or conductivity. A step above these water test kits are test kits able to measure multiple parameters, including total dissolved solids and dissolved oxygen. A bit higher up the price-performance curve are industrial-quality handheld water test kits that measure one or multiple parameters, and may even log the readings to enable trend analysis.

Sound Level Meters
Real-time applications for our sound level meters include sound-system setups, music recording, and measurement of the noise produced by a machine or vehicle or typical of an environment. Data logging sound level meters such as our DSM402SD, DSM403SD and DSM20 provide the documentation needed to prove compliance with regulatory limits on noise exposure in public and at work.

Stud Sensors
Stud Sensors such as the MSV100 and MSV350D comprise a category of their own. Each uses electromagnetic induction to sense the presence of (and thereby locate) a stud, pipe, batten, current-carrying wire or other metallic object behind a wall or above a ceiling. The two instruments differ in their choice of the display technology (LED or LCD) used to pinpoint position.

Moisture Meters
Moisture Meters fall into two categories, pin-type and pinless. Pin-type Moisture Meters measure the resistance between test pins inserted into a piece of wood or a building material and use that reading as a proxy for the object''s absolute moisture level. The wetter the material, the less ready it is to be sanded, painted, finished or covered. A best seller is the MMD4E Pin-Type Moisture Meter. Pinless Moisture Meters rely on the ability of moisture to inductively distort an electric field created by turning on the meter. Although Pinless Moisture Meters can only make relative readings, they are nonetheless useful for pinpointing the source of a leak above a ceiling, and for leaving no unsightly pinholes on a finished surface. The MMD7NP is a best selling pinless moisture meter.

Refractometers
Refractometers are used for two different applications: Measuring the sugar concentration of beverages and food, and measuring the salinity, specific gravity, refractive index or viscosity of industrial fluids such as oils, polymers, brake fluid and anti-freeze. Advanced models sport automatic temperature control (ATC). All have a metal body, cushioned eyepiece and rubber hand grip.

Harness Testers/Thickness Gauge
Our Hardness Testers/Thickness Gauges includes premium models such as the EMHT40, UTEMHT20 and UTEGEMTT2. These testers are precision instruments designed to measure the thickness or hardness of most metals. Two cost effective units - FHT801 and FHT803 are tailored to agricultural applications such as checking the ripeness of fruits and vegetables in fields/warehouses.
