Shell stays safe with tough gas detectors
Engineering and production staff at the Shell UK Stanlow manufacturing complex are protected against gas risks by portable detectors from Crowcon, proved on site for over a decade
Monitoring oxygen, toxic and flammable gases, the unit has a top mounted, backlit display showing all gas readings, diagnostics and battery life.
Despite its compact size and low weight (less than 300g), the Tetra:3 is very rugged.
Its shatterproof housing with rubber over-moulding, provides extra shock and vibration protection, and gives it water and dust resistance to IP65 and IP67.
If a hazard is detected, Tetra:3 gives rapid and effective warning with a powerful 95 dBA audible alarm, an extremely bright red/blue LED visual warning, and by vibrating.
There are two levels of alarm, which can be set to have distinctive tones.
A lithium-ion battery provides over 18 hours continuous operation from a single charge, and there is a 30 day countdown warning of the calibration due date.
The Tetra:3 comes standard with a stainless steel alligator pocket clip and an optional harness for chest mounting. Request a free brochure from Crowcon Detection Instruments ...
