Toxic and flammable gases easily monitored.


Toxic or flammable flam·ma·ble  
adj.
Easily ignited and capable of burning rapidly; inflammable.



[From Latin flamm
 gases such as carbon monoxide carbon monoxide, chemical compound, CO, a colorless, odorless, tasteless, extremely poisonous gas that is less dense than air under ordinary conditions. It is very slightly soluble in water and burns in air with a characteristic blue flame, producing carbon dioxide; , carbon dioxide carbon dioxide, chemical compound, CO2, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is about one and one-half times as dense as air under ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure.  and methane methane (mĕth`ān), CH4, colorless, odorless, gaseous saturated hydrocarbon; the simplest alkane. It is less dense than air, melts at −184°C;, and boils at −161.4°C;.  can be easily monitored from multiple locations with Crowcon's new PGSi Programmable Monitoring System. Monitoring up to four different gases at once, from up to 32 individual sampling points, the PGSi is ideal for applications such as carbon dioxide monitoring in breweries and pharmaceutical plants. and monitoring methane leaks from the heating systems of buildings. By doing away with the need for multiple fixed detectors, the sampling system significantly reduces installation and maintenance costs.

Each sample line can be up to 1km in length and sample times for each monitoring point are individually adjustable and can be sequenced in any order. A dual pump arrangement ensures that samples reach the gas sensors as quickly as possible.

 detectors and flame arrestors are all fitted as standard to ensure safe and reliable operation at all times.

The system is controlled by a PC using Windows XP-based software. A screen displays individual sample locations, gas levels and alarms. It operates up to 32 relays (which activate alarm devices or send a signal to external control equipment) and provides comprehensive data-logging facilities, with gas data displayed either in tubular tubular /tu·bu·lar/ (too´bu-lar)

 or graphical formats. The PC can be monitored remotely via an optional modern, allowing status checks and the uploading of datalog files. The system can be supplied with a PC or can operate with a PC supplied by the user.
