Gas monitors go wherever hazards are
The versatile new Detective Plus is a free-standing, transportable gas detector which provides reliable protection wherever there are short-term gas hazards, such as during annual plant shutdowns
The versatile new Detective Plus from Crowcon is a free-standing, transportable gas detector which provides reliable protection wherever there are short-term gas hazards, such as during annual plant shutdowns.
Building on the reputation of the popular Detective design, the Detective Plus offers many new features, including infra-red sensor technology, internal pump options, enhanced software and menu functions, as well as greatly increased battery capacity.
It can be used individually or in groups to monitor up to four gases at once.
If a dangerous gas level is detected, the device warns with a wailing 104 dBA siren and flashing, high intensity LED beacons visible from all angles.
Used as a stand-alone unit, the Detective Plus can monitor small areas or protect lone workers.
However, for wide-area coverage - such as when tracking the spread of a gas leak or protecting a group of workers - several units can be linked to create a perimeter protection system in minutes.
Any unit detecting a dangerous gas level causes all the other units in the chain to go into alarm, warning all workers in the area of the danger.
The detecting unit also flashes its warning lights faster than others in the network, allowing personnel to identify the safest exit route, even in a noisy environment.
The distinctive design of the device incorporates a sturdy tripod which keeps the gas sensors raised above obstructions and away from surface water.
An integral safety cage gives extra protection should the unit be overturned.
The tripod design allows the device to be easily stacked, and an option with collapsible legs takes up even less space when stacked.
The on-board display is large enough to be seen at a distance and shows gas levels for all four channels simultaneously, making it easy to track multiple gas hazards.
Sensors are available for oxygen, flammable gas and all toxic gases commonly encountered in industry.
The Detective Plus is intrinsically safe and protected against water and dust ingress to IP65.
Power is provided by a sealed 6V rechargeable battery giving up to 60 hours of continuous monitoring.
