In stationary gas detection systems, the central control system, known as the control panel, manages the operation of connected detectors. The gas detection control panel collects gas concentration values from all individual sensors connected to the network. Gas concentration values are converted into an electrical signal using measuring sensors located in the protected area of the detector. When the concentration limit is exceeded, the relevant relay on the control panel side is activated based on programmable alarm values, triggering local optical and acoustic signalling as well as decision outputs that allow control of local protective elements, such as external signalling systems, fan operation, power switches, warning signs, gas shut-off valves, etc. If the concentration drops below the limit, the control panel returns to its previous state.
What happens during a safety risk or false alarm? The gas detection control panel evaluates the signal and activates the alarm, which can result in anything from production shutdown to plant evacuation. In combination with various types of detectors, our gas detection control panels offer flexible solutions capable of measuring flammable and toxic gases, reporting their presence, and activating alarms or informing connected related devices.
