Simple monitor
December 1st 2004 A new Gasmaster control panel from Crowcon is said to simplify the monitoring of toxic and flammable gases. Wall-mounted, it displays all gas levels simultaneously on a large, LED, allowing full system status checks at a glance.
Gasmaster can monitor up to four channels, with two levels of alarm per channel, allowing it to monitor virtually any combination of flammable and toxic gas detectors, oxygen detectors and fire detectors (smoke, heat or flame).
All functions, from dayto- day operation to re-calibration, are done on the front panel, so routine testing can be carried out in an instant. The device warns when calibration is due and inputs and outputs can be quickly tested at the push of a button.
Alarms and faults are recorded in an ‘event log’ that can be accessed regularly to assess risks on site. Analogue outputs and RS-485 digital communications allow the control unit to be connected to PLC/DCS/SCADA systems, PC, chart recorder or datalogger.
