Crowcon Detection Instruments consistently produces the best gas detection and monitoring devices in the industry. Around the globe, companies and workers enjoy higher standards of safety when they purchase and implement a product by Crowcon. With many years of research and development under its belt, Crowcon continuously works to advance its product offerings by utilizing the latest technology in gas detection. The Vortex 12-channel control panel for gas and fire monitoring is one of the most versatile and compatible control panels on the market with its ease of use and ease of customization.

Easy to Use

The Vortex control panel requires very little training. The unit is incredibly easy to use and simple to understand. All of the day to day operations are easily accessible through push buttons on the front panel, and while the display panel continuously shows necessary information, the LEDs only illuminate when a hazard or fault is detected. This allows users to quickly check the conditions with a mere glance. The Vortex is also incredibly easy to service and maintain. Replacement parts simply plug into the unit, and the interior of the panel was designed for easy access for cable termination. The zones within the unit are compartmentalized so that a user may work on one part of the unit without disabling the entire control panel.

Maximum Flexibility

Crowcon understands the economics of efficiency. When designing the Vortex 12-channel control panel, the company worked to create a product that would be optimally compatible with existing equipment and infrastructures. The Vortex can be configured to match any and all site requirements with minimum wiring. The control panel may also be factory set with specific requirements, easing the installation and training process. These settings may be adjusted at any time by a PC using Vortex software. The panel also uses industry standard communication links and can be simply integrated with existing control systems.

Reliable and Safe

The Vortex has been tested for numerous environmental hazards and is rated IP65 for dust and water ingress. To improve safety measures, all of the relays are monitored continuously. In this manner, faults are immediately identified. This helps to protect the integrity of the device and the safety of the users. The unit also continuously monitors its power supply. If power were to fail, the control panel would switch to its internal batteries which are also continuously monitored. For years, Crowcon has developed its reputation for manufacturing safe and reliable gas detection equipment. In turn, the Vortex control panel enjoys some of the highest safety standards in the industry.

1667-1 Gasmonitor Plus 24 V 750 W Power Supply 100-260 V AC by Crowcon

Gasmonitor Plus is our flexible microprocessor controlled system designed with a modular approach, so you get exactly what you want.

Used throughout the world, both on and offshore, Gasmonitor Plus provides the cost effective solution to your system requirements. Gasmonitor Plus, the gas and fire control system you can trust.

Simple to use

• Gasmonitor Plus offers flexibility whilst still providing simple operation. All the day to day functions are accessible via push buttons on the front panel.
• As well as a rolling display, indicating the channel currently monitored, each channel has a bar graph display. This unique bar graph format is ranged to indicate readings below the first alarm setting, providing an instantaneous representation of the gas concentration on every detector.
• Common alarm LEDs on the display card and individual alarms on the panel only light when a hazard or fault is detected. This means the whole rack status can be checked at a glance.

Flexible architecture

• Each channel has three levels of alarm as well as a dedicated analogue output, set as 4-20 mA as standard.
• Optional relay modules can interface to the panel to provide up to a total of 84 output relays per rack. Sixteen of these relays can be configured/voted from a combination of the three levels of alarm per channel.
• The RS232 digital interface provides connectivity with PC for configuration, monitoring and datalog upload. Each rack is uniquely addressable, making multi-drop architectures possible. This cuts down on configuration and monitoring cabling.

Ground breaking design

• Gasmonitor Plus is a microprocessor based expandable control system, which can be multiplied to offer unlimited channels and outputs.
• Its modular construction provides ultimate customisation capacity with minimal wiring.
• Gasmonitor Plus has industry standard analogue outputs, and the mechanical design is based on 19 Eurorack. This means that the Gasmonitor Plus will integrate fully with existing rack mounted protection systems on site.
• The alochrome finish and rack screening plates ensure that the Gasmonitor Plus is impervious to radio frequency interferance.

Easy maintenance

• Gasmonitor Plus has been designed with easy servicing and maintenance in mind.
• Each channel is inhibited separately so that plant safety is not compromised during maintenance checks.
• Routine calibration can be achieved from the front panel. The one man calibration feature reduces the service overhead by half.
• One universal gas card architecture controls all gas detectors. This reduces the spares holding required for Gasmonitor Plus maintenance. Each control card is fitted with its own dedicated micro-controller so it can function independently in the event of a single point failure.
