Portable versions of the scanner systems have recently been developed for applications where a fixed system may not be the most appropriate or cost-effective means of monitoring. An example may be where there is a requirement for monitoring at a number of areas within a chemical complex or oil refinery. Sensors are permanently fixed at each monitoring location with associated cabling running back to a small local site box. This arrangement is suitable for hazardous areas, as power is only supplied when the portable components are connected, when conditions are safe to do so.

The portable components of the system are a battery pack, laptop computer and scan controller, which can readily be hand-carried between sites.

Portable systems cater for monitoring areas with up to 56 sensor locations. There is no limit to the number of monitoring areas that may be monitored with a single set of portable equipment.
