Crowcon Gasmaster 4 One to Four Channel Unit - C01889

C01889 Gasmaster 4 One to Four Channel Unit by Crowcon

Crowcon Gasmaster is a compact but powerful control system that combines simple operation with an extensive array of input and output functions.

Crowcon Gasmaster provides all the information you need about your gas and fire detectors at a glance. The large multi-lingual display shows gas levels from all detectors simultaneously, and enables system adjustment and testing using buttons on the front panel.

Crowcon Gasmaster can operate 'stand-alone' or interface with any alarm devices and control systems using a selection of outputs.

Large display

All gas levels are displayed simultaneously
Alarm messages can be customised to indicate the name or location of any detector in alarm
The LCD can be set to display in many languages
Enables full systems status check at a glance

User friendly

Menu system is intuitive and easy to use
All functions, from day-to-day operation to re-calibration, can be carried out from the front panel
Event log feature
Enables configuration changes to be made easily
Routine testing can be performed rapidly
Enables system fault and alarm history to be viewed

Versatile input and output features

Provides analogue, relay and Modbus outputs
Flexibility
Two levels of independent alarm per channel
Remote inhibit and reset facilities
Compatible with 4-20mA or mV pellistor type gas detectors
Facilitating communication around the site
Gasmaster can monitor up to four detectors in virtually any combination of gas detectors, fire zones or Environmental Sampling Unit
Software enables re-configuration and event log upload in an instant
Can be configured to suit site requirements
Enables control from any point on your site
mV pellistor detectors reduce system purchase and maintenance costs

Modular design

You only need to purchase the required number of input modules
1, 2 and 3 channel systems can be extended later by adding additional modules
