Wireless Inspection Cameras
-
General offers three wireless inspection cameras whose probes can be disconnected from the grip and monitor. They are the DCS18HPART (with a 6mm/0.23 in. diameter articulating probe), the DCS1800HP (with a 5.5mm/0.22 in. diameter non-articulating probe), and the DCS500 (with a 9mm/0.35 in. diameter probe and a 5 in. diagonal color LCD). Wireless inspection cameras offer operating flexibility because the user can use both hands to manipulate the probe.

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.

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.

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.

Pressure Meters
-
General's line of pressure meters and manometers. The top-of-the-line pressure meter is the data logging PM930SD Pressure Meter, which can measure up to 400 bar (5800 psi) when mated with an optional sensor. By comparison, the measurement range of the DM82XX family of manometers tops out at 100 psi. Also in this sub-category are the GPKXXX family of analog gas pressure test kits and the analog HG15 Hydrogage Manometer.

Psychrometers
-
All psychrometers derive an environment's wet-bulb and dew point temperatures from a precise measurement of relative humidity. The original psychrometer had two thermometers mounted together with a handle attached on a chain. One thermometer was ordinary. The other had a cloth wick over its bulb and was called a wet-bulb. New, digital versionslike General's EP870X family improve on this basic design, offer HVAC technicians a better tool for recharging the refrigerant of a residential or commercial A/C system.

Product
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.

Thermocouple Thermometers
-
These industrial instruments’ claim to fame is their accuracy. General offers a wide variety of thermocouple thermometers distinguished by features such as the number of independent channels supported (from one to twelve) –such as the DT4208SD 12 Channel ThermoCouple Thermometer, ruggedness (the ability to survive a fall) – such as the Rugged DT62 Two Channel Thermocouple Thermometer, compatibility with one or more thermocouple types – such as the DT80-2 Two Channel “K” & “J” Thermocouple Thermometer, and data logging capability – such as the DT4947SD 4 Channel Thermocouple Thermometer with Excel Formatted Data Logging SD Card. Our portfolio of thermocouple probes is just as extensive.

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.

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.

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.

Combustible Gas Detectors
-
A leak of natural gas (methane), propane or butane can cause an explosion in a basement with a sloppily installed unit as easily as it can in a coal mine. General sells these life-saving combustible gas detectors in various shapes and sizes, including pens and wands with a probe. Two models, the NGD268 & PNGD170 Combustible Gas Detectors even work from -40 to 158F, the extreme environment typical of mines and tunnel construction.
