The LCD-FR (Lightweight Chemical Detector-First Responder), used by armed forces and training facilities around the world, alarms to the presence of chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial substances.
The LCD-FR is capable of detecting substances below IDLH concentrations. When a threat is detected, the LCD-FR will alarm, and immediately display details of agent type, concentration and dosage.
Lightweight and compact, the LCD-FR can be hand-held or discreetly clipped to a user’s clothing, belt or harness, enabling them to undertake their primary role. Featuring an audible alarm and an easy-to-read display the LCD-FR is simple to operate.
Smiths Detection has sold over 60,000 hand-held chemical detection instruments to the US and Allied militaries worldwide to date. Originally designed to military requirements for performance, robustness, and reliability, the LCD-FR sets the standard of next generation personal protection for First Responders.
Additional features:
Three modes of operation
CW – for the detection of chemical warfare agents
TIC – for the detection of toxic industrial chemicals
Survey – for detection of residual persistent contamination following decontamination
Detects, identifies, and warns First Responders of chemical agent threats at levels below attack concentration
