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.

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

Product
WiFi Inspection Cameras
-
WiFi Inspection Cameras generates a local WiFi hotspot (without Internet access) through which video clips and still photos of hard-to-reach or hard-to-see areas or equipment captured by the probe camera can be sent to an app-enabled smartphone or tablet for viewing and sharing. Free apps for iOS devices (iPhones or iPads) and Android devices are available from the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store, respectively. The three WiFi cameras differ in probe length, camera lighting and grip style.

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.

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.

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.

Anemometers
-
Anemometer-Thermometer with Excel-formatted Data Logging SD Card and "K/J" Port accurately measures and logs speed and temperature of low-speed airflows in ducts, vents and other tight spaces.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
