Gas detector gains new certification

Crowcon Detection Instruments product story

Crowcon's intrinsically safe Detective+ gas detector is suitable for use in explosion hazard areas in extremely hot climates or in hot internal industrial environments.
Crowcon's intrinsically safe Detective+ free-standing, transportable gas detector has been granted IECEx and ATEX certification for use in temperatures up to 50C.
This makes it ideal for use in explosion hazard areas in extremely hot climates or in hot internal industrial environments.
Typical applications include refineries and offshore rigs.
Providing reliable protection wherever there are short-term gas hazards, the Detective+ can be used individually or in groups, each monitoring up to four gases at once.
If a dangerous gas level is detected, it warns with a 104dBA siren and flashing, high-intensity LED beacons visible from all angles.
Special features include infra-red sensor technology, internal pump options, enhanced software and menu functions.
Used as a stand-alone unit, the detector can monitor small areas or protect lone workers.
However, for wide-area coverage - such as when tracking gas migration 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 device's distinctive design incorporates a tripod which keeps the gas sensors raised above obstructions and away from surface obstructions.
An integral safety cage gives extra protection should the unit be overturned.
The tripod design also 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.
Power is provided by a sealed 6V rechargeable battery giving up to 60 hours' continuous monitoring.
